I had a similar experience Friday but it never showed back up which was fine because unlike this post of yours, it wasn't much of anything. <br />It sounds like the shut-down/quarantine did not get in the way of your productivity or projects and now- this new book! Your talent is obviously so recognized and so respected, as is your work ethic. And of course, your experience is unparalleled. You're the whole package, lady!

Reconnecting is also another awesome aspect of life and I do so hope that your book is sold to a GREAT publisher and we all can have the chance to read it.
