Thanks for job well done

[pegkerr]

I sent off a copy of Swans with a letter to Jacob Reitan, a columnist for Lavender, the local gay periodical. He writes the column "Faith in Action," and I've been quite interested in his observations and thoughts about spiritual/religious issues in the gay community. He was certainly covering territory that I found myself exploring while writing Swans. So, geek-like, I sent him a mash note and my book saying, hey, I think your writing is cool. Bravo.

Tell me about an occasion when you've reached out to say, "Way to go, job well done" to a person you don't even know.

Er... well, I wrote you. :D

I also wrote Parents magazine after they printed a story last December about a baby found in a NY subway and becoming part of a family. And, oh yeah, his parents were two gay men. It was presented in such a low-key, matter-of-fact way, I had to applaud them.

I still have a copy of that note, too! It went straight into my atta-girl file.
