"I'm hooked. Snared by the facinating story plot, intrigued by the character (sed snail), and moved by the eloquence of the writers response to some very intimidating questions. I'm off to buy the book."

"I absolutely LOVED this book! Because it's about snails, it sounds like it would be boring but Bailey has a way of making it fun and interesting to read about. Plus, she makes it personal, which makes it that much more of a good book."

"Because of child-care challenges, I can't leave until 12:30, so I may be there, but an hour late. Just to say hi and maybe have something seitan-ish."

Hi Paula,

I wanted to connect with you and ask for your feedback. I recently did my first on-camera interview for the children's book on child sexual abuse prevention that I wrote, My Body Belongs to Me. Please let me know what you think when you have some time.

Thanks in advance.
