- In Neil Gaimen's journal he writes this,"And finally, a link to Joanne Leow's blog.

- The dream now: a small cottage in a Tuscan village with the freedom to write all day with the inspiring backdrop of Italy behind me, my husband returning from his teaching duties with his arms full of wine and fresh Italian bread. The reality where the dream was born: Tuscany, Italy. The date: 2007...a trip several years in the making. My father, a good friend, and a tour group of eclectic ...
