Lena,

Aww, you know it's my pleasure! *blushing* YOU are amazing with your cover designs and formatting! I couldn't have navigated the self-pubbing world without you. *Hugs*

I'm really thrilled with how this week went, as well - so glad everyone had a blast! :)

This is definitely an exciting year on the publishing front! I love that you made Take a Picture available in paperback, and I think that's awesome that you're tackling audio now, too! Will be eager to hear how it turns out for you. :)

Let's do this again sometime! ;)
