Staci Wilson OMG, I am the *worst* ... I just saw this. Two years later! I'm telling you, Goodreads is one of the hardest sites to navigate. I hate the interface, but I guess it's a necessary evil, as I have a new book coming out soon. (I can't even figure out how to post a public update ;) I promise, I'll keep in better touch. THANK YOU for your kind message.

James Hey, stranger! Been a long time! Just read the interview with you in FANGO, and I was so proud . . . .
