And I just bought The Child Returns! Happily added to my ever-growing "to read" list. So nice meeting you last night, and I'm hoping our paths cross again, on and offline.

Thanks for the add. It was a pleasure meeting you last night! I picked up your book this morning and I'm looking forward to starting it :). You know, in between chasing a toddler and trying to get those coveted 2K words a day. (I think I can...I think I can...lol)

Love your profile pic, btw
