Old friends:
Stacey and I went to high school
together in London back in the '80's---and she found me
by reading one of my books and checking out my website!
She thought I looked familiar so she read my bio on the
site and figured I had to be the Karen she remembered
from choir trips. What a small, small world--and what
a cool way to reconnect with old friends. |
