Just finished The Edge of Dreams. LOVED IT! Whenever I start a Molly Murphy book I can't put it down till I finish.
Dear Rhys, Thank you for being a good friend that sure can write! I only wish I had known you when my Mother was still here, she would have adored your style of writing as do I. Happy life and writing.

Hi Rhys--great to see you here! I have the Guernsey Literary book on my Kindle and after seeing that you gave it 5 stars I'm eager to get to it. Meanwhile, I'm still writing both of my mystery series---staying extremely busy!
Debbie wrote: "I really enjoy your books"Thank you, Debbie. When I have a moment to breathe, i'd better do something with this profile page, hadn't I?
