Meg Dendler I actually tried to find it just a day or two ago and couldn't. Did you just put it up?

Lily MacKenzie Hi Meg

I noticed that you recommended Lia Mac's recent release. Since you spent so much time editing Fling!, I'm hoping you might consider also recommending my novel.

Many thanks
Lily
