I had a great time at Angel Radio yesterday and was fortunate enough to meet one of my 'fans' who came in to the studio especially to see me and tell me how much she enjoyed my Horton novels. It's great for a writer to hear from readers who enjoy their work, so thank you. Much appreciated and it...
