Mama to big boy Makaio and baby Mei! Posts: 3,546 Group: Members Member #15 Joined: December 23, 2005	I just got an email from Andrea at Armchair Interviews. The author was commenting on my review. I was so happy, that I thought I'd share my excitement with you! Here too is a link to the review: Siren's Feast Hi Andrea, Reading the review of my culinary memoir Siren's Feast, An Edible Odyssey made me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. I am thrilled to be included on your wonderful site and the review by Maria Hoeffer is one of the best reviews I've read. For a writer to be perfectly understood by a reviewer is a rare and amazing thing. And she didn't give away the entire story, as so many have done. I am grateful beyond words. Thank you for all you do to help authors. Warm regards, Nancy Mehagian Best Andrea Sisco Armchair Interviews

It is two page and hand written. It is a very personal note. I am totally over the moon! She gave me her personal email and even would like to meet sometime. Really really cool!
