(all writers:) One is an editor I've done 14 books with, and he was so much taller than I had imagined (but just as nice). The other was an illustrator - she did the paintings for my first book ten years ago, and we just met this summer. We hit it off at once, and have gotten together twice already although we live 2,000 kilometers apart. The internet is sure an interesting way to meet people who live at a distance, and sometimes become both real and virtual friends.janlcoateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17494058075748351556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7570512522741409033.post-56242032254862322432015-10-22T05:57:52.319-07:002015-10-22T05:57:52.319-07:00That is SO cool!
