And dedication. I have just one 4 y.o., and I don't know how I could ever have written anything coherent in those first few years. :-) (Look, I'm whining FOR you! :g: ) Oh, and then the fires and evacuations and all that. Pesky little things. Dramatic first sale stories, and I'll put your books on my list. Major congrats! Kris Jill,

So sorry to hear about your aunt's house! We have a lot of migrant workers in my community, living in outbuildings, on ranches, etc, and they were hit hard by the fires. No evacuation calls there, either. I've often wondered how you do it with twins. Makes me feel like a whiner. : ) Thanks for the comment. Hi Dee! So sorry to hear about your aunt’s house!
