Well done Linda!!

Kate, your book sounds amazing!

DC I love your poem. The words capture the light, dreaminess of the moment where we are left with our heart racing, wondering if it really happened.

Thanks for the great review, Troy! What a great surprise to see it here.

DC, love the sparse use of carefully chosen diction and that floating-boundary crossing feeling you create!

PS March Sisters is really intriguing! Can’t imagine how exciting/challenging it would be to collaborate with three authors on such a big undertaking. Drove by the Alcott house yesterday near my parents’…it has such an aura. Can’t wait until my son is old enough to read LW

Never had the pleasure - only visited NY once as an adult, in 1995 (and ran into a high school classmate on the dance floor of a club, I don't remember the name.)

Time to come back for a visit! I lived in Manhattan for 20+ years. It was an awesome experience. Now I'm approx. an hour away by train and visit friends there regularly.
