Guest guest Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Hi Cassie, Thanks for the congrats - I do hope that you will be buying a few copies - for yourself and for other people? I think that my poetry tells a lot about me. Yes, I will enjoy my holidays - whatever I have - I will be working every single day of the holidays except for Dec. 25 & Jan. 1. Sigh....At least I have a job and I have somewhere to go and I'm making money.... Tara Kimberley Torme --- Cassie Zupke wrote: > Tara -- > > Congrats on getting your book published!! Good > job!!
