  2. Nice collection of reviews, Karen. I'm looking forward to James Thompson's second novel, too - I think his debut was very promising.

  3. I wanted to thank you for taking out the time to review my collection. I'm delighted it went down well. Appearing here is a lovely feeling as I'm a fairly frequent flyer.
    Cheers,
