It's so nice to have so many new Friends here on GoodReads. I really appreciate your interest and hope you will read my novel SOMETHING RADIATES when you get the chance. I'm fairly new to GoodReads but am very impressed with its depth. I keep discovering new ways to communicate with all of you. And so many great authors here and people to meet. Fun sharing the site with all of you.
Thanks so much to all of you for coming in early to say you want to read the book, and to those of you who have read it for the great ratings. I'm honored and humbled by your support. Thanks again!
