It was a pleasure seeing you again -- and heh, you're a gutsy guy. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I don't know if I mentioned this to you, but you're one of the people whom I acknowledge in HELL'S BELLES. You're the one who got me to start thinking about writing as a busness, not just an art...and that made all the difference in the world.<BR/><BR/>I can't think of anyone else who deserves the Bob Kellogg Award as much as you. You're amazing. Without your advice and encouragement, I would not be where I am today with my writing.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Joe.<BR/><BR/>And dude, have I mentioned lately that I love your main character's name? And that for a while, I lived in a town called Latham? <BR/><BR/>Hmmm. I think you're tuned into my wavelength, or something...Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652261175264210062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-1153821967393011062006-07-25T05:06:00.000-05:002006-07-25T05:06:00.000-05:00Congrats on your award, it's well deserved.Also, t...Congrats on your award, it's well deserved.<BR/><BR/>Also, thank you very much for the copy of <I>Whiskey Sour</I>, <I>signed</I> no less, with accompanying signed coaster!

I understand where you arecoming from and what you are really up to. Thank you for being you and stepping up.<BR/><BR/>Although you may not remember talking to me at the conference, talking to you and listening to you speak has had a profound affect on me. So thank you.<BR/><BR/>If you decide to tour in SoCal and need a place to stay, I have loads of room. Otherwise, keep up the good work.Ewoh Nairbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05829477662283633670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11291165.post-1153785005326902182006-07-24T18:50:00.000-05:002006-07-24T18:50:00.000-05:00Okay, so what size is Herb?

That being said, I was wondering if Jack Daniels has worked out her self-image issues regarding dress sizes: in Rusty Nail she says at one point she's a size 8, then later admits to barely fitting a size 12.

I guess they took that seriously in the Fire House where the troop meetings took place. Great to know your Genny will have a stablemate. Drove our kids 500 miles today, to camps at different ends of a large state, and I'm wiped.
