The horrific disaster in Japan reminds us daily of the cost both to human life and the natural world that can result from accidental incidents, much less sabotage, and when you consider how many facilities dot our landscape and populate our industrial cities, it certainly should give us pause. But I'll get off my soapbox now and just say that I hope you enjoy the book. :-)Karen Hallhttp://www.karenehall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-88539236671299815262011-04-15T16:32:48.568-05:002011-04-15T16:32:48.568-05:00This book really has a timely theme.

I so appreciate it when people compliment my work, even before they've read it. :-)Karen Hallhttp://www.karenehall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-83411505788804684912011-04-15T14:55:04.661-05:002011-04-15T14:55:04.661-05:00Kathy, I modeled one of the characters on a cowork...Kathy, I modeled one of the characters on a coworker from the refinery. When I told him I'd borrowed some of his characteristics for Donnelly, the BCA agent, he actually blushed. People who work in refineries are wonderful folk. I'd love to hear from your husband after he reads the book!Karen Hallhttp://www.karenehall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-35838118073037407792011-04-15T14:00:18.338-05:002011-04-15T14:00:18.338-05:00Unreasonable Risk is definitely a must read for me...Unreasonable Risk is definitely a must read for me and probably my husband too since he is retired from working at an oil refinery and chemical plant.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17987230384169003432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-21413877813249588902011-04-15T13:48:28.460-05:002011-04-15T13:48:28.460-05:00This book sounds compelling and your story incredi...This book sounds compelling and your story incredible.
