Trish Esden liked an answer from Lynn Slaughter: Hi Lynn: I hope it's ok to ask you here. I've recently met Aditi Mehta on LinkedIn. She seems to be smart young lady and wishing to trust her with design and more. Most of her work is listed on her own website with you being the exception. Are you able to give me some info on how you found her? She's in India and you're in U.S. I'm in Canada and other helpful info. which appease my curiosity to trust. Thank you. I met her through LinkedIn- she has not done any design work for me, but she seems very professional. Lynn Slaughter

Trish Esden liked an answer from D.R. Ransdell: If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there? The Shire! I want to see Baggins End, walk around and see all the different hobbit holes, and maybe even talk to Gandalf, who would be walking by. I might even want to buy my own place because, even though I love adventures.... I would want to have a See D.R.’s answer. D.R. Ransdell
