Edward Hirsch In rereading the completed previous book, I realized I had forgotten all of the ground you had covered and the side stories you had started. Given this intro, you are at it again in spades. Vanessa, bravo. You have the most amazing imagination and I am truly grateful you are sharing these stories with us. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Dear Edward,

a response like this is worth more than all the money in the world. It is the true fuel that makes me want to write. I feel so very blessed to have readers and friends like you. I have never met you, know next to nothing about you, yet I know we would be friends in the real world. Saying thank you feels cheap and inadequate. As a writer, I should find better ways to express my gratefulness. I have failed in that regard, thus let me say Thank you and convey to you it is meant to the truest spirit of that phrase.

Vanessa
