Thanks, Stan!

Thanks, Diana...good to find "friends" from blogging.


Thanks so much for becoming my friend on goodreads. I would love for you to check out my debut novel, Her Sanctuary, which is available at over 25,000 bookstore websites worldwide including amazon.com and The Book Depository and just recently, BooksonBoard.com.
As my friend, please feel free to peruse my profile and see what I'm currently working on.
Please help me spread the word by recommending it to your friends and if you are a member of a book club, perhaps you could suggest they put it on their reading list?
Being a self-published author, I AM the marketing team so any help you could give, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!


Did you get a chance to read The Little Black Fish? I see that I have attracted some attention from the group members. I am looking forward to your comments considering that although the book is for children yet, the author has wonderfully inserted messages in the story which shows a path only uderstandable by advanced readers and adults (in most cases).
I see many discussions posted for different books listed in this category and they are great discussions. But none asked me this question: "How can a children's book have "political" contents and be "banned?" Please tell me what you think.
Thanks a lot,

Thank you for saying you'd consider voting for my romantic suspense novel Lancelot's Lady. I hope you can do so soon.
If you read it, enjoy it and vote, subscribe and comment before September 1st, you'll be automatically entered in my Lancelot's Lady August Giveaway.

Long time no chat. hehe How are things going? New book out yet?
I wanted to thank you for considering to add your vote for my debut romance Lancelot's Lady. It's been an exciting contest so far, and I'm really working hard at adding new chapters and editing them before the judges start reading (November).
I'd love to hear what you think!
Please consider checking out Lancelot's Lady right away. I now have 32 short chapters up. If you enjoy it, simply click on the blue thumbs up circle, and voila! I'll get a message saying you voted. Right now I'm in jeopardy of losing my lead as #1 Most Popular.
You'll hopefully get a great read and of course my undying gratitude. :-)
And don't worry, signing up on Textnovel.com is fast, easy and you won't get any spam.

In my first book, "An Accidental Life," I write about the twists and turns of our lives...Mine didn't start out with me planning to be a social worker...actually, I wanted to be a writer!

Blessings,
Jeannie

I think they're considered mainstream -- literary fiction and/or women's fiction.

Have been thinking of you today. Hope all is well. I just read about your new GR reviews. Those books sound interesting; wish I could read them all, but haven't read ALL of yours yet. Working on your Web of Tyranny. It sure is looong, but exciting, nonetheless.
Keep up the great work.

(Lovely name you know:)
And I was just reading your bio and didn't know that you were a counselor...
I thought you might like this...
Best wishes to you always
Sincerely,

Don't live behind the walls
That guilt built
The longer you stay
Incased in that tomb
The harder it becomes
To break free
And write a new and different story
With the pen
That is your life

I see you're using one of my quotes up there with all those "famous" ones. Wow! What an honor.
You're the best, my friend.
I'm almost ready to review AN ACCIDENTAL LIFE. I really liked it a lot. You are an excellent writer. Keep up the great work.
Are all your novels about female friendship that lats through the years? Do you plan on working in other genres?
You're good at it but you'd also be good at a psychological thriller or a plain, old ordinary thriller, too.
c u later,
Betty Dravis
