Jennifer Gooch Hummer said… Hi Jo-Ann,
You have no idea how much for support for Apron (now called GIRL UNMOORED and coming out March 6th) means to me. Each time Caroline Leavitt would tell me that you asked about my book, it made my heart zing. thank you thank you. I still have your AMAZING blurb that you so nicely wrote. Is there any chance you would let me put it in the blurb page of the novel?
