Carmela, thank you for asking such thoughtful questions and for hosting GONE FISHING and me at Teaching Authors. <br /><br />Great to see you here, Esther! Thanks for your good wishes. I remember Brenda from that Ragdale workshop. I think she had just sold JULIA’S KITCHEN! I knew that Matt was in the area, so I’m not surprised that he’s an Illinois SCBWI-er. <br /><br />Hello again, Jill! Great to see you here, too! Thank you for your kind words about my writing. I hope everything is well in Iowa as you’re gearing up for spring. My thoughts are often with my good home state!<br /><br />Caroline and Bridget, nice to see you here, and Cynthia, and Joanne, nice to meet you both; thanks for all of your enthusiasm about GONE FISHING and for jumping in on the giveaway – good luck to you all!<br /><br />Tamera<br />Tamera Will Wissingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06408087979651337516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-33829285983513346482013-03-01T16:01:22.247-06:002013-03-01T16:01:22.247-06:00Welcome, Joanne!
