Warmest Welcome to Pamela Dean!

I checked my user page today and did a little happy dance, when I saw a new addition to my "Friends Of" list and thereby discovered that pameladean now has a LiveJournal account. Pamela writes wonderful books, including some of my very favorite fantasy novels of all time. I had the great pleasure of being in a Shakespeare reading group with her for a number of years, and she has been a very kind writing mentor to me. (And I should also not fail to mention that she gave me the best recipe for molasses gingerbread that I have ever tasted.)

I suspect she might not want a fuss made to welcome her. Tough cookies, Pamela. This is my journal, and I'm going to do it anyway. I'm glad to be able to be the first to say, welcome to LiveJournal, pameladean. So glad to have you with us.

Cheers,
Peg
