Dear Karen,<\/p>\n

I am working my way into Part 3 of Switching Time and have not been able to put it down since picking it up yesterday. Your story is one of courage and strength even though those feelings did not seem to be present at the time. Once I had reached the part of the book that had the drawings of the personalities, I felt like I knew you so well by that point, I was actually able to label the personalities by their expressions. I am currently a psychology major and I am writing a paper on your story. There are several people in line to borrow my book once I am finished. You are and will probably forever be in my thoughts. I have read several postings that speak of meeting you, do you and Dr. Baer do book tours by any chance, or speak at colleges? I would love to meet yourself and Dr. Baer for I have found great inspiration in your struggles and triumphs as well as the amazing work of Dr. Baer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dear Jennie,<\/p>\n

By now you most likely finished reading Switching Time<\/em>. \u00a0I hope the ending didn’t disappoint. \u00a0I appreciate your kind words of praise. My strength came from having a great alter support system and from Dr. Baer’s unconditional care. It was teamwork at it’s best.<\/p>\n

Thank you for sharing that you felt as if you knew each alter and could identify them through the pictures. That is what Dr. Baer and I hoped for, to bring into the book a once in a lifetime journey.<\/p>\n

I’m glad you chose my story to write your paper on. That makes feel glad to have shared my story. It’s been my hope to bring a better understanding of this incomprehensible illness I once suffered from.<\/p>\n

Dr. Baer and I would be interested in doing additional book appearances, however, we haven’t been asked recently. Together, Dr. Baer and I traveled to Amsterdam & Antwerp, and have done interviews in Newsweek, on GMA, and in many different countries. Dr. Baer has done more interviews on his own, but it’s always my interest to accompany him. Maybe some day, if asked, we can arrange additional book tours or signings. \u00a0It’s never to late to stir up more interest!<\/p>\n

Thank you for all your compliments! \u00a0You’ve made my day!<\/p>\n
