I was laughing because that's EXACTLY what my crit group and I would say to each other. We're not lucky enough to get together in person, but we've settled in to really standing by each other. I have one who I call every day. I couldn't have kept going without her. Keep on doing nothing. It's your birthday. Oh how cool that you had lunch with her.

Watched the 48 hours segment. Terrific. Especially the part with Alison writing in the car. Now, that's dedication. I agree with Jill. Mica had "real writer" written all over her!

In that same link, I'm giving away some copies of her backlist! And, yes, the 2005 and 2006 should be 1995 and 1996, duh, LOL! This is what happens when you get old!!

A little off topic... I saw mention of Jan Freed. Does anyone know if she's still writing these days? I haven't seen anything from her in a while and I recall whiling away a couple of enjoyable hours with her books in the past. Happy birthday!
