Thank you, Roxie. BTW — this is our very first comment! Hmmm.. I’ll have to think of a prize for you! 🙂
I would like to add that Donna and her husband are tireless in their efforts to promote books and writers. She and Alex are kind and generous and funny. I loved The First Excellence and look forward to reading the next three.
