Angie, thank you so much for the lovely and luminous review of The Eighty Dollar Champion. I'm so happy that you liked it, and I'm glad that you received an ARC copy.Let's keep our fingers crossed for a movie. I can't decide who I would want to play Harry...
I just thought I'd thank-you for the Arc copy of The Eighy-Dollar Champion. I loved it! So glad you did all of that research! I would love to see your book made into a movie.
Elizabeth, I've just added An Abundance of Katherines, to my to read list because you recommended it.
