Dear Editor,

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to friends, The Times, Ten Ton Coffee, The Royal Block, and to The Times readership who inspire my writing habit. Your support through the release of my first book, Wingshooting the Palouse, has been humbling. The signing event hosted by The Royal Block last week will not likely be topped. I appreciate being a part of this community and all you do to make it great!
