As a reader and aspiring writer, there are FEW things as meaningful and extraordinary as corresponding with a writer you connect and resonate with. Receiving a book with well wishes is almost unfathomable. THANK YOU Liz, truly, for this gift of encouragement! I told my first graders here in St.Lucia, that anything is possible and to always believe in themselves. Because hey, you never know, your favorite author could write you back and send you a book one day. #aspiringwriters #SOAT #magic — with Elizabeth Gilbert.

And this explains my wild, wild nightlife. (PJ's, tea, novel, reading until I nod to sleep, drooling over the page…)

So honored!
Dear Ones —
THE SIGNATURE OF ALL THINGS has been nominated for a terrific prize in the UK called The Wellcome Prize — for achievement in writing on a medical subject.
This is such a delight, to have been short-listed. SOAT is the only novel on the list, alongside work by such eminent scientific authors as Andrew Solomom and Oliver Sachs.
Alma would be so pleased, to be recognized in the world of science!
Gratefully,
LG
