Mentioned in an Article

"Marzipan and Kisses" was mentioned in an article in The Baltimore Sun: "...she remains baffled by the degree of devotion her work inspires. The most astonishing thing, she says, was the avalanche of mail she began to get -- nearly 2,000 letters a month. At first she tried to correspond with everyone, but she quickly learned that if she answered all her mail, she would not have time to do any writing. She was rescued by a "letterzine," a fan periodical in which fans can communicate with other fans and Dunnett can occasionally address them. The 'zine, called Marzipan & Kisses, is a quarterly that goes to 130 U.S. and Canadian readers, and about 200 in Britain and Europe.... "Every time you read [Dunnett's books], you find something new," says letterzine editor Karen B [last name and address redacted] "And the writing is brilliant. These are romances in the true sense of the word."" [2]
