Once upon a time, January came for us and proclaimed itself supremely uninterested in taking prisoners. Under the sustained assault, there were simply too many avenues of stress tearing into my brain. On one side of the field stood so many books (as they have always been there for me) ready to be read—to help.

(again, thank you)
Whee! How exciting!

ReplyDeleteCongrats, Kerry!!! =)
ReplyDelete*checking my library's online catalog for Madam, Will You Talk?* ;)
Kerry: under her picture on the right, under the heading "Authors/Publishers" there's a contact me link.
ReplyDeleteThanks Azteclady. I found it and have emailed.
ReplyDeleteMy copy of the book arrived today. It looks lovely and very tempting. I am going to have some waiting time at my son's school this morning, so I shall tuck this in my handbag and read while I wait. Thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteKerry, really? I'm so glad! That was faster than I feared it would be. You are very welcome and I hope you enjoy it.
