A Real Anna Casey

Imagine my surprise when I got an email from a woman in Birmingham saying she was Anna Casey's mother--and I always thought that Anna was an orphan.

Here is proof that while Anna Casey is a character I dreamed up she is also a real girl.

This is the living, breathing Anna at the Oneonta Public Library. And who is that holding up a copy of Crossing Jordan? It's Anna's brother Jordan.

" I know! Let's make a pyramid!"
