Grace,
.
It was so nice of you to mention the 99-cent sale for On Any Given Sundae — thank you!!!
And I *just* read your InD’Tale article, which was wonderful! CONGRATS

Thanks, Marilyn. I’m glad you enjoyed the article. I rarely write humor, so it was unfamiliar territory for me, but I had a ball with it.

Hi Grace, Couldn’t resist all the Anne books – read them lots of times, but don’t have them all at present – so great to have them. (And for less than the price of a large bag of crisps!)
