Gail, for what it's worth ... I miss you over in the CBR forums! Far too many douchebags over there, and I felt like you made any thread you participated in a lot more inviting.

It can be a pretty female-unfriendly place, but I still have mostly fond memories, and a lot of friends there. I just feel like message boards get a little ruined when pros show up in the threads about their own books.
