Knowing of Libby's obsession– er, I mean passion– I shot her an email. I'd barely hit 'send' when this whirlwind blew across the landscape. In the writing and publishing frenzy, my name was accidentally left off the credits, but now you know.<br /><br />Libby, congratulations. Really. Brian wouldn't have selected you if he didn't believe. I know it means a lot to you.<br /><br />BTW, I'm interested in the story behind Matthew Quinn Martin. Is that another article?<br /><br />Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
