Dear ListFriends- Pollyanna thanks you. I feel just like Sally Fields at the Oscars a few years ago. Murray-You SHALL have an autographed first edition. I'll deliver it in person. Barb M.-You asked who will be playing me in the movie. Susan Saradon is a little too old (she's my age), Julia Roberts is a little (O.K., a lot) too young. Isabella Rosellini is too gorgeous. I pick Isabella. Michel-Felicitations and hugs right back at you. I already started the second one. Kathy-Thank you for the helpful advice. I'm going to try like hell to break and enter. Ray-Thank you-did i ever tell you I love the your use of words? I never read an e-mail from you without imagining you on the edge of the prairie abyss. Jeanette-The only problem with being a parky is that you really have to move before that open door swings shut and hits you in the butt. Joan-Don't tell Murray, but if you bring coffee I'll let you get ahead of him. Maryse-Translate away you guys. The check will be in the mail. jp-my prickly perky parky-name of the book is October Mourning and I will send you a copy if I can find a brave publisher. Strangely enough, my heroine is a red-headed prickly, perky, parky... Jo Ann-Thank you. Do you know any publishers? Katie-No cats. An Irish setter, though. Heroine has PD. Hope you're right about the money. Camilla-Have you finished with Charlie AND the hounds so early in the day? So pleased you like my book, but I wish you hadn't mentioned THE PIGS. I was hoping people had forgotten about them. I was just getting them to like me. Now I'll be dodging slings and arrows again...
