    Thank you, JM, for all the work you put in into bringing together this fine collection of works.

  4. Alice Audrey Says:

    Thank you for including me. I made a mistake in my submission by including Mr. Al, who only does history guest posts for me. I had submitted to a history carnival before submitting to Scribes Blog Carnival, and had a glitch when I posted. My apologies.

  5. JM Says:

    Thank you, CG. All your support is very much appreciated.

    Alice - No worries. I hope you’ll submit to the next edition. :)
