A note to Gilda Joyce fans:

Thank you to so many friends for your wonderful messages! I’ve noticed that Gilda Joyce readers have something in common: you’re smart, creative, and unique. Nothing makes my day more than receiving a note from a reader, and I care about every one of you! I read everything you send me, and I intend to reply to you personally! However, I might not be able to write back as quickly as you’d like. (I know; I hate waiting for emails too.) Just know that if you don’t hear back from me right away, it’s only because I’m so busy working on a new book or attempting (and sometimes failing) to keep three busy kids out of trouble. Your note is very appreciated!
