Hi from the author: Just wanted to welcome any readers to my first book! This is a very new thing to me - Bookglutton I mean, though having a book is new to me also - but I think it's very cool and I'm definitely curious about comments and interested in answering any questions you all might have. It says here that i should say what I REALLY think of this story. As some of you probably know, when it's your own work, your responses to it vary from day to day. I wrote this story in 2003 so I've had a lot of different feelings about it over time. It was originally published in the Indiana Review, but I actually made a lot of changes for this book. Anyway, I'm looking forward to hearing what you think! Happy reading!!
