I would love to see a picture sometime... does it ever visit your bookstore?<br /><br />P.S. Did you see my reply re: Katrina books? 1 DEAD IN ATTIC is a good choice, too - especially since it's from a New Orleanian's perspective.Laura Martonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17131901155051433491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362484318535208583.post-82798755020346342572009-09-04T13:37:50.001-07:002009-09-04T13:37:50.001-07:00I have a three-headed Norwegian troll from the Tro...I have a three-headed Norwegian troll from the Trollstigen.
