Has been years, and I won't remember them. The acquaintance sounds like a "wingnut". They don't respond to reason. I think I’ll start reading the early VI books again.

It's a good thing! Well, I've just finished Hardball and enjoyed every single paragraph. I LOVED the ending...almost made me cry. I'm so excited to see what happens next...bet I know who'll show up in the next novel or two - heh, heh.

I can relate in that I've been called d***ed opinionated in a similar vein. Keep on observing! :-) P.S. I just finished reading your new book and loved it. Now I'm in a withdrawal of sorts. No pressure but when will the next one be out? Thanks, Laurie Sara,

Good for you for making a contribution to something that has a positive impact on these girls' lives! "Coach Sara" sounds like an honour.

The staff are amazing--energetic, committed. They all have a background in social work or something similar, in addition to athletics, because they don't think they're training athletes, but using sport to help girls get better equipped to navigate the world. My contribution is only financial, but I'm really proud to be associated with the group. Yes, it’s great that they have such a place. The staff are amazing–energetic, committed.
