#11 The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver
A reader recently compared my writing in Gatekeeper to Kingsolver’s. My agent was thrilled (what agent wouldn’t be?) while I am less convinced.

Kay, I've added your books Two Tall Tales and One Snort Novel: Anthology of Shorter Fiction and Tell Tales: The Anthology of Short Stories: v.3 to my to-read list.
Kay, you're an amazing writer and I'm really honored to be here with you! HA! eventually, probably in the next five minutes, Minnesota will have a smoking ban on smoking pictures--it brings out the rebel in me. I call it my Rizzo shot--though really, I wish I didn't smoke.
From another fellow writer: Congratulations on your books and site. In looking over the books we have in common, we've both given similar ratings. I'll be chatting with you.
Available on Kindle and nook for only $2.99
