I was looking for inspiration for an orchestral based track and recorded "The road to Carson" after playing along to your reading. Anyway, the album is available for download on jamendo under a creative commons license. http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/22482 Love the fortune cap ! Steve Hi Karen,

Those were artificially-intelligent and conscious computers in case you haven't read the book. Extending that idea a bit, your voice would be wonderful to hear from a speaking computer (hopefully, one that's artifically intelligent, of course). Maybe someone who's working on building such a machine will read this comment and run with the idea. Or, maybe some Hollywood producer is looking to turn the book into a movie, perhaps? You would be outstanding in it. Karen,

I had originally intended to make a little dress set out of one of the Baby Dale pattern books, because she’d been told she was having a girl. But then Elliott arrived, and I had to change plans. I decided to make a vest, and I wanted to try some fair isle, but I didn’t like the patterns I was finding, so I made one of my own. I’ve nearly finished it. I just have to do the ribbing on the armholes and neckband. I’ve posted a link to the pattern here: http://www.karenrsavage.com/blog/toddlers-fair-isle-vest/ [...] [...] I finally got around to working on my project for Jana’s baby (about time, since he was born over a month ago!).

I listened to all three recordings within three days and am even now re-listening to some of my favorite parts. I absolutely adore the way you portray Sir Percy Blakeney and his flippant nonchalance. I really do hope you record more of the books-reading it isn't quite the same as hearing it. Thank you so much for helping to me to discover this wonderful series! Kelly Hello,
