Just to clarify, I LOVE McCarthy but "Strays" gave me the opportunity to take the piss out of one of my literary heroes and I couldn't resist.

As far as Steinbeck, I can see your point. But like I said, your book is beautiful on its own merit. I could only grasp for the closest comparison.
2nd masters is in music - I work with the Koch Studio at Illinois State as a lyricist and mezzo -soprano. In my spare time - not quitting my day job!
My son, Connor, studies violin with them too. I'm very proud - he had his first concert - Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
I have a myspace and facebook page for friends under Holly Green. I got divorced and there was NO WAY I was returning to Griswold-dom. So I took my mom's maiden name. It's weird, just this last month, I've talked to PJ Adair, Dave Goeken and Melissa Sherlock!
I know you're probably short on time, but you can find me at hollygreen777@yahoo.com. I won't stalk you - but I am definitely a fan. And I like thinking that I took a writing class with someone who could write such a contemplative gem. Thanks again!
Holly
