It's a strange wonderful miraculous truth, isn't it?<br /><br />I'm not signing up for the contest because I already decided to buy Life, Liberty and Pursuit as my first foray into e-books. I'm excited!

I have a business card that says "Rocket Scientist and Author." Most people think I'm kidding. :)<br /><br />@Lenny I'm so glad your brothers gave you that gift of reading! They (and you) sound pretty awesome. I hadn't heard of Gail Carson Levine's book on writing, but I did get a chance to meet her over the summer at a conference - she was an amazing speaker as well. I'll have to check it out! (p.s. I'm glad you can get some peace and quiet in your room!)Susan Kaye Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07348197999397141067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513702670120363707.post-57991892899899465402010-09-09T01:12:41.635-04:002010-09-09T01:12:41.635-04:00LOVE Susan!
