I just wanted to tell you a small story about your book "Twice." In that book is a quote about death and the fact that love lives on: "When you lose someone, you've only lost the giver, not the gift." That quote resonated with me, and I include it in every condolence note I write (properly attributed, of course). I can't tell you how many people have responded to that quote in a positive way. Thank you for saying something that helped me when I lost loved ones, and thank you for giving me the words to help others when they are grieving.

Thank you so much, Janet. That truly means the world to me. And in this difficult time of grief after losing my father, it’s amazing to have those words repeated to me. I do feel that way — that my dad is gone, but everything he has given me remains. Thank you for reading, and for sharing my words in this way.

I absolutely love your books and would like to be an arc member if you have any openings. I especially like getting signed copies for my collection if possible. It's fun to keep them plus I re-read my favorites. Regardless I'd like review Arcs for you.
