Shoot, I'm so sorry you wasted your time Liz! I could have sworn I had it right...I wonder if those similar author pages ever change because I had been working off notes I took when I started, then waited a week or so before finishing the chain. I'm looking back at some of those authors and a week ago they were different. Let me look at this again...sorry again, Liz, I feel terrible!
