Thank you for the new book! It was so good. The emotional intensity, the people, ... everything. I was curious about your choice to not mention the Internet? From my experience in rural Oregon, i imagine it would not be a big part of life (can't get the chores done or the roads plowed on the net), but still, it's ubiquitious ... just wondering. Thanks again for the great, great, book.

I just requested a ARC from my Publisher Rep. of your book The Flicker of Old Dreams because this was on Gina Sorell's Goodreads page. I loved her book and was so lucky to meet her! Your book looks like one I would Love. I just finished From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death and loved it so I am looking forward to reading your novel! (?)
