Greetings, Leigh
I think we’ve met. Weren’t you in a writer’s group with me when you were working on Ninth House?

Thank you so much for your note! It’s really lovely to hear from you. I’m afraid I don’t recall that particular group clearly, but it’s wonderful to reconnect with a fellow writer whose journey I’ve long admired.
