Authors I Love: Amy Lane
So, how do I love Ms. Amy, let me count the ways...
I love her hugs.
I love that she gets the yarn thing (DADDY’S LLAMAS)
I love the weird and unusual conversations we get into in all sorts of places that aren’t here.
I just love her because she’s her.
;-)
What? You want deep? We have a deep and abiding yarn connection. Yarn from YAKS.
Also, I’m still pouty that I missed Coastal Magic and didn’t get to see her. I will be seeing her in Portland in April, so that should fix the pouting.
Probably.
My favorite series: Green’s Hill. Teague gives me happiness. :D
http://www.greenshill.com/ — where you can find her
:D
Much love, y’all.
