Hi, jessica,
But where do you think I could buy the Pilot Frixion pens? I want to avail of one. I am one of your avid readers. Please keep me posted on the book launchings or book signings you will have next year. By the way I bought almost all your books but I can’t seem to find the Twisted 1. Are there still copies?
