987960 I have to tell you that Denise brought her daughters and a bunch of their friends to stay this week and one of them was at the girls camp you go to. She told us about your 'kung foo' solo? You'll have to expound. It sounds like your girls have a lot of fun with you. Is the girl in the picture the one you had up there with you? I heard about how sweet you are with her as well. What would Michelle have to do to go up with you next year? She's 14. xoxo

My brother in law has tried to get on with them for five years and has been turned down every time. I am so happy for you and your family.

107301 Hello Niki and thanks for the kind note about Luthiel's Song! Unfortunately, I did not draw the pictures inside. My only artwork were the runes and the map. Siya Oum was the artist. Not only did her art grace the cover but the pictures in each section were hers as well.

I saw your review and am deeply honored someone of such wide reading taste as yourself enjoyed the book so much. Best wishes to you, Nikki. I'm glad to be a friend.

987960 I just talked with Denise. She is leaving Friday afternoon around four o'clock. She was going to drive alone and was happy to hear you might come. I gave her your cell # and she will call you soon. We need you woman! I bring the deep-fried twinkies and you bring the youth and vibrance. Denise is staying Friday night and heading for home Saturday evening and Elaine will very likely call to extend a formal invitation for you to stay. xoxo

So, California Highway Patrol..sounds like a pretty competive job. That's pretty neat though!
