Thanks to everyone who donated to Granite City

Sep 15, 2005

This goes out to everyone who gave five dollars or something small to Granite City. A lot of you figured that the auction would go too high to play (you guys were more optimistic than we were; shame on us for doubting) so you gave smaller amounts to the shelter. I just wanted you to know that we appreciate it, and I did know about it. I was a little overwhelmed with Bev’s generosity, and my own difficulties at beating the end of the book into submission. Though, today, it feels like the dragon is going to win. Maybe not. It’s early yet. But if hope were a flame, it would be a match, in a high wind.
So thanks again to all of you. 99.9 percent of my fans are some of the best people on the planet. But like in every majority, sometimes it’s the noisy unpleasant fraction of a percent that get the attention. So, to all you good guys out there, thanks.
