Hoping over the Christmas holidays to take some time then. Makes me happy just thinking about it. :)jasonShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03420776820764592085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-82393718471550703092012-12-04T15:48:43.975-06:002012-12-04T15:48:43.975-06:00I thought I would save the book for a quiet day, b...I thought I would save the book for a quiet day, but I'm not sure I can wait. <br />I am so thrilled for you Glynn.

I think that's an important l part of the reason your books elicit this response in people. You created real people in these stories, Glynn. (Even with the interesting lineage of one!!) People we can relate to and think that maybe, just maybe - we might find ourselves doing something like that. I'm so happy you are getting these responses. And I wish there would be some actual CASH royalties, too. But I agree with you - hearing these kinds of things from people who know you. . . priceless. Thanks for sharing this. And yes, you already know I'd love to see a 3rd one!!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11778701909628887403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-23767572005669071382012-12-03T15:30:04.801-06:002012-12-03T15:30:04.801-06:00You might remember that I had the very same reacti...You might remember that I had the very same reaction as your son. And the scene with the kids choked me up too. I'll add my plea for the third, Glynn :).Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-18891485087316440622012-12-03T08:45:09.165-06:002012-12-03T08:45:09.165-06:00I too have downloaded Light Shining to my Kindle o...I too have downloaded Light Shining to my Kindle on my iPad. I started reading yesterday and had to forcefully stop myself - I wanted to finish it all in one reading but had a media training workshop to prepare that I need to give today to a not for profit -- and knew I had to stop reading or I would be lost.<br /><br />What you wrote here: it has to do with our sense of the heroic, that something within us that reaches beyond what we’re capable of doing because something must be done, something must be said, some good and fine purpose must be achieved. <br /><br />So true. So powerful. So you.Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-14411827342993813082012-12-03T07:19:31.697-06:002012-12-03T07:19:31.697-06:00You know I loved Dancing Priest.
