And I'd love a chance to see some of the Frank Lloyd Wright work in the area as well. I've read Sue Ellen W but not in her Allie Mackay incarnation. Thanks for the recommendation!

It's one of the reasons I almost always do a giveaway when I do a guest blog appearance. Glad you're loving J.R. Ward.
