Enjoy!

Just wanted to say thank you so much for picking my novel, The Milk of Birds, for your January discussion. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to respond. I have a consuming day job and family which limit my time for online discussions, but I'm so grateful and heartened to know that my characters are out there talking with folks. Cheers, Sylvia
