I went to Geraldton Senior High School back in 1988 and 1989
and it was a pretty crazy to return 26 odd years later for a book signing at
the only book store left in town, Read A lot Books.
Old friends came out of the woodwork and it was wonderful to reconnect and see what they'd been up to. One lady (who I didn't know), had read about my visit in the local paper and bravely came up and asked about Dying to Know and Turning Inside Out and said that her husband had died recently and wanted to find out more about the afterlife. She had missed him deeply and only wanted to know if they would be reunited in the world beyond this one. I saw tears well up in her eyes and I put my hand on hers and said, 'I think so'.
