I think we met at the Langdon Review weekend. You said that you are interested in horror, and I said that I would bring copies of my husband’s books to the brunch today. I looked for you but could not find you. If you will send me a mailing address, I will mail you signed copies of his books and of mine.
Donna
Sorry that I had to rush off! I got your e-mail, however.
Thanks!
Pat let me know that you will be joining our author lineup for Teen Bookfest by the Bay on Feb. 20. Can I get an email address for you so that I can send you some information?
Our email is teenbookfestbythebay@gmail.com
Do you have any plans to write a book on the history of the Valley?…
I have thought about it, sure, but there aren’t any solid plans. It would be a couple of years from now at the earliest.
My family is staying at the park in Angelfire and I saw your info and looked you up. I enjoyed your TedX talk. Thank you for sharing your ideas. Your talk prompted a family discussion about myths and the passing on of legends from one generation to the next and understanding how we are all connected.
