I'm cleaning my e-mail and I thought this was a nice note from the author of The Year of Fog.
Dear Maggie--
Thanks so much for your wonderful and creative write-up about The Year of Fog on your blog. And many thanks also for promoting it in newspapers in Mississippi! It's quite a treat for me that you're getting the word out about the book in Mississippi, as both of my parents grew up in Brookhaven and I have cousins, aunts, and uncles who live in Prentiss, Brookhaven, and rural Lincoln County. I spent a lot of time in Brookhaven as a child and have vivid memories of the drive from Mobile, through Hattiesburg.
The Year of Fog didn't have a big marketing budget behind it, so its success depends enormously on word-of-mouth. So, once again, thank you!
All Best,Michelle

Very cool to get a personal email from an author!
Envy, envy on my part.
(Isn't it nice to be envivous about an intangible - unless you print out the email? Just ones and zeroes - the computer codes to generate the email)
Oh, don't be green! I initiated the correspondence. I read a book that said if you really like an author's work you should tell them. So, I make it a habit to send e-mails when I admire others' works...even colleagues.
