Hi Tracey,
Thank-you for whatever upgrades were made. JacketFlap is definitely loading a lot faster. This is very handy while I am still finding my way around all the fantastic features on this site.

This looks like an excellent site and I'm excited to explore it more. One suggestion I have (and maybe it's just my server or something) is that the e-mail messages come without spacing...very dense. Anyway to fix that from my end?

Thank you for your welcome, Tracy. It was great to find this sight. As a new writer, without my own website, it was good to find somewhere I can contact readers and others in the industry.

Hey Tracy Grand,
I see that lots of illustrators put out examples of their work.
Is there any way for children's book writers to put out part of a story?
I'd like to let people see a page or two of some of my stories...

Hello Tracy,
Is there a way to get a name removed from my book listing? Malinda Mitchell did not illustrate my book and I received a post stating that. Her name also appeared on another book that she didn't illustrate.
