I'm so proud of Beth, applaud loudly, and look forward to her producing many more truly gifted novels.dtopliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968086817228552657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-53683655511986528252012-05-02T17:24:16.152-06:002012-05-02T17:24:16.152-06:00Wish You Were Here kept me up until 1:30 in the mo...Wish You Were Here kept me up until 1:30 in the morning.
