Amy, you probably noticed I took a break from TNF.  But my health has improved the last week and I actually  launched a blog dedicated to my book.  Will you follow it at http://alifeinartstellaadler.wordpress.com/? Thanks for the support!

LMBO. No, seriously. Comments like that have actually made me laugh out loud. Almost as much as when I was told that my hubby and I wouldn't know people disapproved if we weren't "looking for it". O_O Oh, the naivete. Guess they've never literally been approached on the street by strangers. #WeHave

Hi Amy! It's been a while since I said hello, I know! I just wrote a blog post about interracial romance and wondered if you'd had this particular experience. (post link)

Thanks, Amy. I have a quick question for you too. I pitched a story to thenewfamily.com. Is there anyone specific I should follow up with to see if they're interested? Thanks!

Thanks, Amy! This is my first publication so... it's kind of a big deal. :-D  Meanwhile, with the holidays I haven't actually had a chance to read the anthology cover to cover yet, but I read about your experience on your blog: how awful! I'm looking forward to reading your piece about it. Happy New Year! A
