But, um, yeah, it's hard to believe that that's how long it's been, to be perfectly honest.
Um, you know, I mean, part of it is because someone you spent that much w- time with always has impact on your life in little ways you don't expect, and ev- every once in a while, you find yourself, you know, hearing that voice in your head or, or something comes up, you're like, "Oh, that reminds me of the time that I did this," you know?

And then, of course, with this book, kind of bringing back a lot of those memories and talking about them with other people who experienced it too has been an absolute joy for me, and, um, it's, it's really interesting because it brings back little memories you forget.

Well, the fans definitely ha- are appreciative every time you put out, uh, great books, and, uh, selling really well, really well.
