BTW, potential favour please? If you're contacting anyone who really knows their bonsai-stuff, would you be willing to ask if they've ever tried to bonsai a tea plant (camellia sinensis or camellia sinensis sinensis), please? I've seen Fukien "tea tree" bonsai (carmona retusa), but I've never been able to find a record of someone using an actual tea tree, though I have seen Camillia japonica, Camellia reticulata and Camellia sasanqua bonsai. I'm wondering if camellia sinensis wouldn't work because the leaves are too large? Anyway, I'm nerd enough to think that an actual tea bonsai would be really cool and surprised I can't seem to find anyone who's tried it. Thanks.
Yay for your resistance to pumpkin purchase and received contributor's copies. It really is a smashing-looking book! Hope the catching up continues apace.
Ahh!! I love Halloween!!!! So happy to see Halloween already.
Loved the "One Eyed Charley" story.
What a neat idea for a book! I cannot wait to see it.
Hi Lisa. Good luck with book.
I've already won a few things anyway, so no. Wanted to say never growing so old (70 now) that I fail to appreciate good new music.
Who doesn't always need a big ole doorstopper!
One Eyed Charley's story was awesome.
The One Eyed Charity story was great. I really look forward to your newsletters.
Loved the story of Charley! Your new book looks fantastic!
Great newsletter. Always enjoyable and informative.

Thank you for another giveaway!!
BRAINS!!!
The story of Charley reminded me of the story behind Petit Jean Mountain in Arkansas. Love these tales of women in history who passed as men for years
Loved “One-Eyed Charley.” Cool story. Thanks for covering the common scams, I'm an actor and have to field these all the time.
I hope you write a story about finding Charlie's treasure.
