Aurora,

I’ve been meaning to get around to doing another batch of these. I have to admit that the cover art on The Primal Wound has always struck me as rather odd, it’s like I’m not seeing something that I should in it.

And please keep in mind, I never said I was fair and balanced here, I distort, you decide.

What no Primal Wound? Without a Map? Or The girls that went away?

I forgot to tell you that this woman sent me a book she had written about her adopting a child and she described the natural mother with this really weird title, birth person or birthing vessel or something like that.

I couldn’t bear to keep the book in the house.

I actually thanked her for sending me the book, that was when I used to be polite.

Thanks Addie. I try to hide during National Adoption Month. It prevents me reading articles like the one in my local weekly wherein a woman is whining about how new, stricter international adoption rules will mean she’ll have to pay more for her little Chinese baby. http://bisforbastard.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/possession-obsession/

Oh man, notice how they almost all have the dreaded colon in their title….

Yeah Amy I know. I thought she deserved the honor of a review. What I’ve seen of the book is certainly fitting of the title.

Kippa,

That is the perfect adoption limerick. I love the things you know.

Kim,

Not going anywhere, adoption is forever, you know.
