Congrats on finishing the afterword. Please do not forget to forward me (roadpoet@rock.com) a mailing address to which to send a hard-copy of my novel.

(p.s. Last night I arrested a man I have busted for shoplifting on four previous occasions. When all was said and done, the bag he used to conceal the merchandise got left behind. When delivering the evidence to the police stations, I thoughtfully dropped it off. "Wouldn't want him to be without his favorite shop-lifting bag," I said.)
