I had one fan letter where the reader took all the first names in my book and told me that she had friends and relatives with the same name.Pamela Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05834270662017246137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-72955054356779153742012-08-28T06:43:00.604-07:002012-08-28T06:43:00.604-07:00Jane, how wonderful to get a letter from one of yo...Jane, how wonderful to get a letter from one of your students.
