Hi Pamela,

I am a fellow children's book author and am new to the site. I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I look forward to getting to know the members of the board. I am also a prosecutor of child abuse and sex crimes in New York City and I received a terrific review that all parents should read and was hoping you would join me in a Twitter and Facebook campaign. Here is the link if you are interested. http://superfunmama.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-body-belongs-to-me-talking-with.html


All the best,
