Tracy Slater said… Welcome to the Global Writers list, Kaitlin! And congratulations on your upcoming novel. Looks like we have a bit in common--I also went to college in Boston (Tufts) and for years shuttled between Boston and Osaka (although now I'm pretty much full-time in Osaka, where my husband is from). What were/are you doing in China?
Looking forward to staying connected,
Tracy
PS. I see you've already connected with the wonderful Nancy Mueller, who is also on the Global Writers list. She's hosting a Global Writers chat on Jan 9--just an FYI!

Meg Waite Clayton said… - Kaitlin, I just opened the door to the novelist group for you - welcome! You might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion if you're not too uncomfortable talking about what you're working on. And we do a live chat every Wednesday; hope you can join us for that!
Love that you've done China books. I've been twice: once in 1984 and again in 2004. Almost like visiting two different countries.
