Hi there Christy, I've added The Bodyguard, Chasing Horses, Wayne's Dead, Chasing Demons and your other book The Bodyguard and the Show Dog to my to-read list.


Chester Hi, Christy, I don't believe I thanked you for putting THE MARATHON MURDERS review on Amazon. Would you do me another little favor and put it on bn.com as well? I don't have any Customer Reviews on there.

Didn't know you were getting the book club notice. Great!

Chester

Betty Hi, Christy, dear,
Congrats on the release of THE BODYGUARD AND THE ROCK STAR. Can't wait to read it; loved the first two in this series and all your novels, in fact.
I'm going to Amazon to see how it's doing.

Betty Hi, Christy, my friend,

This space is new to me. I do well with Shelfari, so thought I'd give it a try. I owe you a good, long e but so much has been going on to distract me. I promise to write asap.

Amazon removed all my GUIDES (200+) again. Remember when they did that over a year ago? All that work and theey are gone? They were not circulating them like they used to either. How is that going for you?

Very frustrating. Let me know when BG3 comes out; it should be soon. hmmmm

Luv ya, and say hello to your family for me
Betty
P.S Got a lovely Christmas card from Victoria, but I owe her too.
