You've been on my mind so I stoppe...Hi Elliot,<br /><br />You've been on my mind so I stopped by to catch up. Congratulations on your new baby girl, cudos for your football star and WOW on your teaser.<br /><br />You have a gift for writing hard stuff. You make awful things real and you do it well. <br /><br />In Charm you ramped the tension until it was a twanging, palpable thing. I grew up in an alcoholic home and reading Charm threw me right back there, walking the tightrope, waiting for it to break. Because invariably, they do.<br /><br />You sound happy. And that's music to my soul.<br /><br />Stay happy my friend, Olivia<br />Olivia J. Herrell, writing as O.J.
