Chelsey Hi Susanne,

I just received my copy of In the Shadow of the Lamp that I won from the giveaway. I had a card ready to send you as a thank you, but your return address was scuffed up in the mail. So -- I just wanted to say thank you SO much! The inscription makes it such a keepsake and I can't wait to dive into your story!

Chelsey
