Thank you, Priscilla, for your kind words and your encouragement. I'm so happy you enjoyed the book! That really means a lot to me, and I'm overjoyed that it's managed to find readers like you.

Michael!! I just flipped a cartwheel outside in my icy yard and threw my neck out. Just for you!!
(Seriously, this is fantastic, and you deserve it).

Glad it's going well!

Wow! Be careful, Julie! Seriously, thanks so much for your enthusiastic words. They really mean a lot to me. Naturally I'm pretty excited, and grateful that this little book has gone this far.

Very exciting news!

Thanks so much, Michael! I appreciate the kind sentiment. It's so hard to get a book into the world, as you know, and this is a nice little reminder that at least some people think it's a worthy thing to do.

Very hard in all aspects. Big achievement.

Thanks so much, Ilana! I really appreciate it! I'll admit I'm excited about this, having doubted for a long time that the book would get into the world, let alone get this far.

Thanks so much, Jill Elizabeth! I really appreciate your kind words about this book!

I look forward to it. I’ve got so many books going right now and so much piled up on the “reading next” all over the coffee table but I keep looking at your kindle book and wanting to jump on it... I don’t think I’ll be able to resist much longer. I’ll finish which is well underway and short first and then my attention can be all on Garden of Blue Roses! Ha! Greatplan! 😊👍

Oops. Some html goof. I wrote “I’ll finish The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard (which I just got in a gorgeous illustrated Folio edition—currently on sale at a great price btw!)

Oh, Ilana, thanks so much for your interest in the book! That really means the world to me, and I do hope you enjoy it. By the way, I completely understand about having too many books piled up "to read." Sometimes I can hardly see over my own desk!

Oh, and thanks for the tip on the J.G. Ballard--an illustrated Folio edition sounds incredibly tempting!

Congrats!
