At 11:45am on October 18, 2007, Mary Saums said…: Hey, Glen - Just checking in to see what's up. Anything exciting happening in Tupelo? Nothing much going on here. We had So. Festival of Books this past weekend. I turned in the final (please, let it be final) edits on book 2. Are you working on Hunka The Sequel? :)

At 3:21am on September 4, 2007, Lisa Stiles said…: Thanks, Glen! I appreciate it. I enjoyed Killer Nashville a lot - it was my first conference, though, and my head was spinning by Sunday evening. It was very encouraging.

At 1:49am on September 4, 2007, Mary Saums said…: Thanks, Glen. I appreciate that. I do hope you'll enjoy it. Well, I'm laboring today over the next book. Hope you and family are having a fun non-Labor Day. :)
