Thanks From Melissa M.

Last evening we had our first local reading at The Seven Stones Café in Media. I would like to thank them for having us, and for the great lattes. The café provided a cozy and comfortable atmosphere for us to host the reading. It was also wonderful to have friends and family attend.

Special thanks to our readers, Strath Haven students and graduates. Marco Kopac read 'Smash' from Part 1 of the book; Rama Hamarneh read 'Samson' from Part 2; Lia Rosalksky read 'Talk to Me' from Part 2; and Jane Rohrer read 'Pedestal' from Part 4. They are all very talented.

Also, thanks to my mom, Judy; dad, George; and brother, Matt; my friend and talented cover artist Rich; and friends Katie and Fran. I also had some lovely surprises: my friends Anne, Janell, and Jeff whom I haven't seen in years all came to support my sister and I at the reading. It means so much to me.

(It's quite ironic when you get a bunch of the nicest people in the world together to discuss meanness! :)
