Frank Lewis Dear Heidi: I am not very knowlegeable about working the computer and I wondered what your interests were?


I scribble a little fiction on a historical back ground and have fun with my series starting with Frontier justic - 1835

I have done several books so far and my web is rumpah.com

Chester Hi, Heidi, I need to put more books on my page, 13 looks awfully anemic. I never think to add them. Glad to see you here.
