ReplyDeleteSo great to put a voice with your face and blog. I enjoyed the podcast immensely. Thanks to all three of you for doing it. I'm adding the book to my Amazon list too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all, Forum was a quaking-in-my-boots honor. And didn't Jen & Sarah kick ass?

ReplyDeleteI'm still not speaking to myself for getting too sick to be there. Can wait to hear all about it!
ReplyDeletewish i could have been there!
ReplyDeleteThe reading at Modern Times was wonderful; the readers and audience challenged each other well, I think. But how lovely if y'all could have been there. Maybe we should rally for a BlogHer-time reading in NYC. Heh.
