To the author who seemed ticked that people were using library copies to read his book, when my funds were limited, I used the library a lot and if I loved a book would stretch to purchase a copy to keep. As my income grew, I purchased more of my reading material and was happy to financially support authors, but keeping people reading is the most important thing.

The Audacious Roundup should be forever subtitled: "more arguments for becoming a lesbian".

Roxane, It was SO good to hear you at the Universe in Verse reading Rita Dove’s poem! Thank you for participating. I can’t wait to see it again.

Your appearance on Ali’s show was amazing. Hunger and all that it gave me and left with me, I will never forget it.

Wow!! As an author, I'm so proud that copies of my book are in several branches of my local library. As a voracious reader, there were times I could not afford to buy the many books I wanted to read, so I was so grateful for libraries. Like Roxane, I'm grateful to readers regardless how they come across my book. Some people are so CRASS!! SMH!
