I LOVE Penny Vincenzi and have read every single one of her books, having discovered her years ago - I'm eagerly awaiting her next one! <BR/><BR/>Amazing that she writes a book a year, considering how long they are, and it's inspiring that she just ploughs through no matter what. Something I definitely need to take on board :o)<BR/><BR/>I bet Grumpy's looking dapper now!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-54612494258417351502008-09-19T14:44:00.000+01:002008-09-19T14:44:00.000+01:00Sounds a great day Debs.
