I missed the chat last night at Coffee Time Romance. I feel terrible. My flight was delayed, but I really shouldn’t have scheduled a flight so close to the chat time. My apologies to anyone who came to the chat. If you went to the chat last night, please let me know at anne at annemallory.com (send the Coffee Time username you were using last night as cross reference), and I’ll send you something in the mail asap.

Coin, money.
