  1. Hi Emily,

    We met at Kepler’s last week. Just wanted to tell you I’m posting an image of you with Angela at that event. Take a look, but if you’re not good with that, let me know and I’ll edit the post.

    Good luck with your launch.

  2. It was great meeting you at FOGcon. I’m very excited about “Summoning the Phoenix.” Thanks for giving me an early peek inside!
