I did, however, get a copy of your ARC. A local teen back from college gave me the ARC and told me to read it. <BR/><BR/>No I don't know where she got it, but anyway, the book is awesome and I've passed it on to the next victim. Bravo on the first novel.

I've only recently started actively going to writing/book events, but the more events I go to, the more I want to attend (as you can tell from the haiku highlights on my blog).
