[Leica] Friday Flowers SonC / Ireland

[Sonny Carter]

Thanks so much for your thoughts.  I appreciate getting your validation on
what I think is good writing, and especially that The Gloss is a

I agree that marketing her work in the States is a good idea, maybe also
France, since they have ins in publishing there.

Thanks again,

SonC
