Sounds great, Vanda! Thanks for the info.
It was so very nice to meet you (in reality) over the weekend at the Masterton archives and John and I both really enjoyed your session - your ebullience and joy was very infectious and you re-lit the literary flame for me - your absolute delight at being a writer was highly motivating - huge congratulations on your FIVE books.
Vanda - it was so nice to meet you (outside of the virtual world) and both John and I thoroughly enjoyed your session at the Masterton Archives - your gorgeous ebullience and joy at being a writer, has re-lit some of my own fading flame a little - I love your absolute delight in being a writer, not to mention the FIVE books achievement - huge congratulations and WOW - yes, I'm so impressed. It's always interesting to hear about a writer's journey to being published and yours is a great story.
Great to meet you too, Maggie!
