I write "Fiction With a Purpose," novels about real people in real life situations. I try to paint a picture of life as it is to give my readers that ability to see situations from a different point of view. My goal as an author is to have ONE reader pick up a novel and see a similarity in his or her life and see an opportunity to do something to make their ...more

Hi Brenda. I'm brand new here - not sure if this is where I should comment, but I wanted to thank you for being my friend. You're the first and I love your writing - well you know that.

Bobbie,
You never have to thank me for a friendship.....I certainly hope not anyway. I am a firm believer in all things happen for a reason. I have no idea why or how you ended up in my path for Hidden Truths....but you did....and here you are again....so perhaps we are meant to be along this journey together.

I fought the Goodreads pull for a very long time. I'm not fighting it anymore and perhaps your 'group' has made that happen, and I should be thanking you!
