Michelle,

You won't believe how I found you here, Michelle. I was just idly browsing photos and thought I saw you. And it IS you! I've been on She Writes for maybe a month, but this is the first comment I've sent. I'm still figuring out how this thing works.

Congratulations on The Quickening! I'd love to hear how life has changed for you since its publication. Maybe a quick iced coffee at ER sometime before it's mobbed with students again?

My 2nd nonfiction book is coming out in the spring. Right now its title is Pursued by Conscience: Former Fugitive Katherine Ann Power.  You might have heard me talking about it in the Writing Ctr. (Based mostly on interviews I did with her when she was in prison in MCI-Framingham.) Monday I send the whole ms to my editor at Rowman & Littlefield. I think it's in pretty good shape, but I'd like to give it a bit more of a narrative feel--something I have absolutely no talent for. 

Anyway, it's great seeing a familiar face on this site! Write back if you have a chance.

Janet

Michelle,

Scroll down on this link: http://us.mg201.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.partner=sbc&.gx=1&.rand=0m14l0ghv7l6i

Isn't that your cover, farther back??

By the way, our New Haven reading series has shut down. Two of the organizers are moving away this summer. Very sad news for us... Hope you're doing well.

Hi Michelle,

Nice to find you on She Writes.  I'm going to find Gardens of Kyoto from your Top Ten list ASAP.  Meanwhile, my copy of The Quickening is across the street with a friend (and writer) who's a very sensitive reader.

Wishing you all good things and more success in the New Year,

Anne
