    Hi Karen,
    Great to be friends. I look forward to reading The Lost Hours. The excerpt was great. Much like The House on Tradd. Surprise, surprise! We have much in common. I also have a son and daughter - though a little older than yours. I'm also an earth sign - Capricorn - and my husband is a Taurus. I went to college for accounting/business. We both love Charleston and the south.
    One thing though - I love to cook! LOL

    Enjoy the excitement of your new release.

    :) Dianne
