Michael SeymourI am winritg this as Ingrid's supportive husband. Today is her birthday and we celebrated with lunch and I must say that the dilemma is over. We have purchased an iPad and have ended the debate. On another note, I have read all of Ingrid's winritgs and although young adult is not my cup of tea I have to say she is an excellent writer. I tell her to hang in there and her day will come. She is a talent waiting to be discovered. Check out this site and come back frequently guys! Anyone cruising through here check out her work and you won't be sorry.
