And now I go back to writing. Empire of Ivory MS goes to Betsy next week, if all goes well. You will hear about it being done before she does unless I keep working on it until five seconds before I have to run out the door.

Er, okay, you will hear about it shortly after.

	Congrats! I really enjoyed the book, and I think it deserves all the praise it's gotten. And, from everything I've seen, of how you treat the people who support you, it couldn't happen to a nicer person. Keep up the good work! (Reply to this)
