I am a Sr. English major in Dr. Davidson's class and met you when Hoch was here for his reading. I read your write up in the AJC, and have to say that your witty comments made me laugh out loud! Then, I read your blog and saw how you told the fireman your name was Chad Davidson. Oh my God, I am dying right now!! Seriously, it's awesome that you are here at West Georgia, and I look forward to reading your next work. I am a big fan!
Congrats again; very exciting and I'm certain a whirlwind. I loved the picture of you in your apartment: 50 ft. woman poster just over shoulder, television and industrial brick, and you in the middle, looking so happy. It's good to see to you happy.
