Congratulations Heather. That was great.
Heather,
Congratulations! This is your year, woman. You're hitting the big time with an agent and getting the recognition you deserve for all your hard work. As I said in the class I taught yesterday . . . research really pays off in bringing a book to life. Your books have brought the scriptures to life for so many. I'm so happy for you.
Congratulations!!!! I am thrilled for you in every way!
Congratulations!!! I always said there is no other person I'd rather lose to. You rock!
