Thanks for the friendship, Penelope! Looking forward to chatting books with you here at GR! I can't believe how many years we've been doing that at RJ.
Hello Penelope, thank you for being my friend.Peace and happiness be with you,
no trouble! thank you having me! I shall look you up on twitter! :)
How nice to be befriended! You seem to very wise in your writing experience..we do not have enough romance in real life..In my novel True, there is a couple in their fifties ( high school sweethearts) who want to reconnect...do you know what E.E. is? It's elder erotica...my copy editor called me one day and said "Melinda, do you realize that you have over 120 pages of foreplay? I just smiled to myself...
A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Penelope. It may interest you that one of my books: Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom is now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)http://www.amazon.com/Marvin-Clark-Se...
It was nice meeting you in person! Who knew we lived so close?
Nice to see you too, Penelope! Happy Friday!
How long have you been writing books?"My first published book, Sea Of Hope, was released in 2001. However, I've been writing for a long, long time. I started when I was nine. :^)
Oh your welcome How long have you been writing books?
Thanks for adding this mystery & paranormal author, Penelope. Good to connect with you. I'm looking forward to reading your reviews.Kris
