Some Miss Behaved Praise:
"A great big THANK YOU for your outstanding presentation and for signing books in my Writing for Publication class.
You stole the show! No kidding. You are a fantastic speaker. I had no idea you were so funny. Your wit, wisdom and information are second to none.
At the following class meeting the students raved about how you captivated them with your wonderful stories. You are a marvel. They loved you.
. . . Thanks for being such a wonderful person, outstanding writer and dear friend. Don’t ever change."
