Our hopes in US are now high for changes to what has been a terrifying 8 year ride! But my wife and i still feel like at least a nice long visit to UK :>) Thanks for ordering my book (good idea about sending OBAMA a copy...wonder if he'd get it if I just address it; 'White House, Wash., DC). Actually I have a friend who knows him from Chicago neighborhood and am hoping I can send him a copy via that route. PS. And looking forward in '09 to buying/reading your Kill-Grief novel, especially after following your blogs and learning how you immersed yourself in research. Black President demanded I revisit the 1960s and beyond, but going back to 1700s mindset as you did is awesome! Hi Caroline,

So many of us here in the UK are delighted (and relieved) at the result. The victory speech was absolutely phenomenal - I feel like moving to the US now! I ordered Black President from Book Depository a few days ago so hopefully it will turn up soon. Are you going to send Obama a copy? It’s wonderful to hear a first-hand account of the excitement!
