"The author is most definitely past her first flush of youth, about to retire from an exacting and often exasperating but very satisfying career, and was attending what was to be her final seminar relative to the ever ongoing level of debt, both national and personal. The lecturer was a dead bore, going over the same point with monotonous regularity?national debt! Scribbling down those two words onto her hitherto blank notepad, a gem of an idea planted itself in her mind. At that point, she had no title, but her novel was in the process of being born. With her knowledge of the world of finance together with odd pieces of conversations overheard or imparted over the years and together with her own personal experience, Big Boy?s Don?t Cry began to take shape. The title came after the first chapter. She recalled a conversation she had had many years previously and her reaction about a small child?s first introduction to boarding school, hence the title. The author is now in her eighty-second year and, after completing this book, began writing a trilogy entitled Inside Looking Out, To Have and to Hold, and From This Day Forward. The first two are complete and ready for publishing, and the third is just waiting to be proofread. The narrative is related to one very feisty young woman and the family McKenzie. Book 1 starts with a mystery, a murder, and a high court judge. The characters follow through all three books, but the mystery is not solved until the end of book 3. As an add-on, there may very well be a fourth book in the McKenzie series. A shadowy figure floats through all three books, a Mr Jamie Tallington. But the author feels he should have his story told."
