Meredith Bond took care of the formatting, uploading, and all of that really time-sucking stuff that can drive you up the wall :). Then there's Catie Rhodes, Stacey Joy Netzel and Cate Dean who helped by reading and also doing a preliminary edit of the submissions that made the final cut. All 11 authors are amazing and are picking up their weight when it comes to getting the word out. So to all 12 authors - a big hug and thank you :). They've been great to work with. Now I shut up :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15479770253777605289noreply@blogger.com
