I also wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed "Henry and Maria." I actually voted for it; it was so nice to see "Mansfield Park" represented, and I loved how you neatly plotted Maria's downfall. Your dialogue was great too.Marybethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6589226281542951200.post-67087358780994930592011-03-02T12:36:07.253-05:002011-03-02T12:36:07.253-05:00Hi Bren, and thanks!

I'm honored that you liked my story (The Love Letter). I did read and like yours as well. I agree that there weren't very many MP homages (just yours and Cindy Jones). I just couldn't get over the variety of the ideas involved--time Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
