Wow, you have met so many people!! Did you meet most of them at book signings?

Thanks. Well, sort of yes. One I know personally. Gemma Malley.

I personally know Christine Rees and Jocelynn Adams. I went to school with B.A. Dearsley's son and I met him at a book promotional event at my school, and there is a dedication at the back of John Ibbitson's book for the father of a boy I have known since kindergarten.

Wow!
