jenn,
if you attend this, please let me know how it went. i believe she teaches in florida, so maybe i'll catch her here before the year's end.
Will do! :o)
I've seen her read a couple of times before and she is really great to hear read. I wonder what she will be like now though. The story about her uncle is so disturbing. It looks like it physically aged her.
