You are the best. I have been writing on Wattpad for a year now. I was a registered nurse but I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and couldn’t work anymore. I have always been an artsy fartsy kind of person dappling in everything from being a florist to now writing. And I just self published a book called The Yellow Cookie Jar. It was from listening to my husband’s family around the dinner table about where they lived in the Delta of Mississippi during a time during the uprising of the racial crisis in Jackson. He came from a famous family, that owned three plantations and one of them is in working order today. His first cousin lives there. I learned all about this family because he inherited a Catholic Family Bible with the first entry date being 1700. Duncan McDougall came here from Glasgow Scotland, through St. John’s Island, Newfoundland. He was a beaver trapper for the Astor family. I have been researching this for 15 years and every name that is in the Bible is correct. I have found so many people and have put together so many due to my research and ancestry made me the person who is over this lineage in the USA. On the other side, is my family who came from Aberdare Wales and I was born in Rio de Janeiro because of my father’s work, taking him there to start steel mills after the ww2. He went to England, Japan, Scotland, and Lastly Brasil where I was born. I came here when I was 3 through Ellis Island and although my mother had to be processed and did not due to my father’s citizenship was American. Anyway thank you so much for the friendship and I hope to read your books and I will extend my hand and ask you to read my short story. It would be a pleasure for me to see what you think about it and if I am worthy to be here. I have written 26 books on Wattpad and I was considered for their biggest award this year on the Watty’s. I have won so many awards and found some great friends that have helped me with my writing. But, Thank you so much for your friendship and I hope we can talk again soon. As ever, Maryellen
