Hey Jamie,

Just wanted to say that I just read Taylor's dedication in "R is for Ricochet".
How sweet! You must be so proud!!!!!!

Also had to crack up at the part where Vera went upstairs to breastfeed the
baby and came back down with a new shirt. That is so my life!!!

Thanks! It is pretty cool. We were very pleased and surprised! I'm only
on chapter 3, so don't spoil anything for me!

A strange aside (-- for me at least!):
A is for Alibi came out in 1982. I was 16 or so. At that time, Kinsey was
32. To a 16 year old, that's ancient. :- I mean, she was a contemporary
to my mom at that point, who was probably 40 something -- also ancient.
Time passes slower in the books than it does in real life, and eventually
Kinsey and I were peers -- I was in my late 20's or early 30's, and she was
34. I pick up R is for Ricochet the other night to start it, and read the
familiar opening paragraph, "My name is Kinsey Milhone. I'm a private
detective. I'm 37 years old, twice divorced, no kids...." And all of a
sudden, it hits me. I'm older than Kinsey! When the heck did that happen?
Yikes! It's like all of a sudden Kinsey is my younger sister, rather than
my peer, or my mom's age! It boggles the mind, really!

Too funny- that must be so weird! I keep wondering when your mom will
integrate a cell phone into Kinsey's life, LOL. I can't remember exactly when
they became popular for personal use- about 1989 or 1990?

I don't remember either. Some people did have cell phones and computers
"way back then" but they were big and bulky and expensive, so not something
that Kinsey would likely have in 1986, or whenever the books are set.

That's pretty funny, Jamie! I love the books and was wondering if Taylor
would get a dedication (I haven't read "R" yet--going to have to put it
on hold at the library).
