So it was a win win for me. Hi Jane!<BR/>Karen :)<BR/>And I got to meet Jake,Alex, RJ, Jen, Basil,Pari, Allison, Rowena and so many others; I feel like the lady from Romper room looking out through her magic mirror.

I am still seeing new traffic coming from your links. Thank you for taking the time to include even new blogs that are not directly tied to your genre... now that's a classy move! I hope you have indeed gained some new readers from my little scaredy-blog, and you sure have made a new fan out of me.<BR/>Congratulations and thanks,<BR/>Janejane, candidhttp://janebretl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-45735246919797765202009-04-01T07:15:00.000-05:002009-04-01T07:15:00.000-05:00Thanks, Jake.

In addition, I used the excerpt of AFRAID in my creative writing class, to get my high schoolers (who thought blood and guts and vivid description of gore is the way to make something scary) to understand that the build up is where the fear is, and the release in your imagination is what REALLY messes people up. Hope you don't mind, but i think it may have picked you up a new reader or ten.<BR/><BR/>You're welcome back on the Pen-ferno anytime Joe!
