I've recently started submitting to books and am honored to have been included in two so far, 500 Enameled Objects being one of them. Thanks to you and Lark Books for giving enameling and enamelists a forum in which to showcase their works and talents! (I guess I can say that I'm proud to be in that select group!)

Sincerely,
Michael
