Re: A Real thrill!

I am not a writer but one of the people that read the books that you
wonderful writers write.  By the by, I would like to know the title of the
book.  I do not write but I am a character in one of Toni Kelner's books.  I
thought it would be a very small part but it turned out to be more of a
medium part.  I am around most of the book.  I am quite proud of the fact
that she put me in one of her books.  I was something that I thought would
never happen to me.


Take care,
Irene
