I return to the novel with a new approach after having some distance from it. And I still feel a huge thrill from any short-listings etc that come my way. xJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-54709443692757814652015-02-03T01:53:02.443-08:002015-02-03T01:53:02.443-08:00Thank you, Anita!
