My friend Anita's book!

I think it was around five years ago, I went to the Maui Writers Conference and met two wonderful women. Maybe it was six years. Anyway, Marg and Anita were the two women I met. We hit it off right away. And we actually went back the following year and booked a place and stayed together. One night we were laughing so hard, probably at nothing, that we were told to keep it down. Marg lives in Redding, California and Anita in Indianapolis. Did I spell that right? It doesn't look right. Correct me if I'm wrong, okay. Anyway, we've kept in touch over the years. Marg is still plugging away at some terrific stories, one is about her father, who was a prison officer in St. Quentin. Marg grew up behind the gates of the prison in the staff housing. This woman is probably over 75--we never asked her age--and is still writing, still going to conferences and still so determined. She is my idol. And Anita, another one of my idols, writes epic science-fiction novels and...she just published her first book entitle the Age of Aquarius. She sent me a copy and it is a prized possession. It has a spiritual, political, mysterious, edge to it and I bet there are a lot of you out there who would just love it. She e-mailed recently to let me know it made the Forbes online book club! That is so exciting. It's so wonderful when you know someone has worked so hard gets their words in book format. I do love this business!
