I love your blog and your books and would love to find out how to be part of your community. Peter London was an early influence for me and I am currently reading your most recent book.<BR/><BR/>I remember traveling to New York City in my early twenties and meeting a shining man who was mosaic tiling the city lamp posts. I will check out Elizabeth's work.<BR/><BR/>ShelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
