Thanks, Gailey, I was afraid it was a bit too good to be true. This is the fourth email I've gotten over the last three months, all written as if someone used an AI routine to summarize different titles of mine, and making similar offers of publicity. Can't see the point - writers are broke!

Hi, Gailey, I was contacted by a Jozette of the Seattle chapter of the Silent Book Club. She wants to schedule me for an event this coming week. I agreed to participate. Is this a scam? I have won awards for my books and this invitation appears genuine enough. Still, these days...??

I recently finished Drury's novel Anna Hastings, and I'm not completely sure I understand it. If anyone has read it I'd be delighted to discuss it!

Hi, Roz! I just got on Bluesky a few days ago, and I'm enormously flattered you linked to our interview! How's the writing coming along?
