Karey's Story
And so, every day I'm trying to spread my wings by spreading a message of comfort to those who know no comfort, a message of companionship to those who feel utterly alone. The only way to soar is to share. It is through service that we are made whole.
We all get second chances. We all have the capacity to give. And it is by giving that we know God. God bless you. God bless all those who suffer.

Thanks for accepting my friend request, Karey.
Hi Karey,Thanks for wanting to become my friend. :)
Please take a moment to check out my debut novel, Her Sanctuary which is doing quite well and is available at many bookstore websites including amazon.com where you can "look inside" for a sneak preview.
Please feel free to peruse my profile and see what I'm currently working on.
I look forward to exchanging book recs with you and chatting about, oh, I don't know, whatever comes to mind. :)
Thanks again!
Hi Karey - Thank you for your friendship.Please visit my website http://www.peteradarkenedfairytale.co.uk
to view a sample page and many other snippets about the book.
Expected release date late Jan.
Best wishes, William
Just dropping by to say hi! Have a great week.
Karey! I got my copy of Secret Speakers today. It is such a beautiful book! I can't wait to read it again. Thank you so very much. Much love my friend! :)
Hi Karey, thanks a lot for your friend request and your visit on my website (that can be translated in "site web" in french ^_~). Btw, your french is really good ! Best wishes :)
Hello Karey! I was delighted to receive my signed and numbered copy of your book for Christmas! I wish you all of the best! I feel so famous with my name mentioned in the back!
Hi Karey!Thanks for the connection! The writing is coming along, thanks for asking. I am enjoying your Oprah's book club, here on Goodreads!

Hey Karey,How is everything going?? I hope all is well and that you're feeling better! :-)
I hope you'll consider reading Lancelot's Lady, my debut romance novel on Textnovel. I've entered it in the Dorchester contest and I can really use the support. I need all the votes I can get.
Lancelot's Lady is a manuscript that is unfinished (I'm adding chapters daily right now) and I'm really excited about where it's going and the response I've gotten so far. Since I usually write suspense novels, this romance thing is a bit of a challenge. lol
Please vote "thumbs up" if you enjoy it.

I see I'm not the only one who has had the pleasure of being in one of Mark Strand's classes. At the end of the semester he said, "I don't know why you've all been working so hard all semester writing poems. All you had to do is write one and I would have given you an A." We all about leaped over our desks to strangle him.
Hi Karey:SECRET SPEAKERS sounds wonderful. What a delightful and engaging premise!

Hi Karey,On your profile, you wrote: "Before graduating with a BA in Creative Writing from the University of Utah in 1987, Kingworth was taught by Mark Strand, former Poet Laureate of the United States. He said one of her poems sounded like a Hallmark Card, (which she took as a compliment . . . ?)"

I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed reading your book :) I love this particular genre of books and it was exceptional. I can't wait to read the next one and see what you decide to title it after taking the poll.

Happy New Year BTW :)
