Dear Ella,
I have noticed your constant support and would like to thank you for it. Truly, it is very gratifying to know that my work is appreciated. Please feel free to leave a comment some day. I would like your inputs to know how I may improve.
I visited your site and found the book “Mary Pirate” interesting. Is it available in English (there was only so much that Google could translate for me to understand!)
