    Great way to GIVE Chris! by writing the story in the first place, by getting it published, by allowing the movie rights to be sold and then by telling us about the movie. Also thanks the reminder to take notes, photos and ways of recording and to do what you love! Pretending to watch it as through a camera is a great way to get some emotional safety and perspective. I thank you as a counselor, as a writer, and as another person whose parents had "interesting habits." HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    Thanks for your comment, Noreen. I'm still having a hard time grokking that this very personal story is so relevant to so many others! That is more payoff than any money I could ask.

    May you have a wonderful tofurky and great company.

    Chris

    The anthology THE DREADED FEAST is now in bookstores. Some stores are holding the book till closer to holiday time for a special display, so if you care to, you can ask store employes if there's a copy you can look at now.

    I'm honored to be one of the authors in THE DREADED FEAST, along with some of my own heroes in the literary world.

    HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
