Dear M. Essex,I am immensely honored that you woulld ask to be my friend. I've been down a bit and late on all my correspondence. Still, I was delighted -- even smiled! -- to see under my "notifrications" that you'd added me to your list. Thank you so much, espe3cially coming from such a successful author as yourself. I remain yours, Richard Lee Fulgham

Hi Karen,I saw your book "Dracula in Love" today while out shopping, and I was so excited to see it on the shelf! I was so close to buying it! But then I remembered I'll be getting it in the mail in a few weeks. This patience/virtue thing is not my thing. ;) I'm looking forward to reading it.
I hope everyone will join my goodreads chat, Ask Karen Essex, officially from July 25-29 but we'll see how long we can keep it going!http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/5...
