Fiza, My pleasure. You are an amazing woman to have read so many books. I'm in awe. Thank you for your good wishes. Same to you. October here is a lovely month in California. We'll start getting cool weather. Looking forward to following you.
I'm honored ma'am! Thank you so much for accepting my friend request. Looking forward to reading your thrillers, you are simply amazing! God bless! You made my evening back here in Mumbai, India. Have an amazing October! :)
Rebecca I stand in awe! 25 books, my word! And you're so gorgeous :-) You now have another fan! May I humbly introduce you to my two books and another, my first non-fiction and a work in progress. Although Veiled Madness would probably be more up you alley, Checkmate is a very quick read. I'd be so honoured if you'd scan either and tell me what you think.. my blog http://greernoble.com/blog.html Can't wait to read yours. Tell me which one as I still have a pile of author friend's books I've been asked to review next to my bed which I'm sure you do too, only on a much larger scale? How you still get time to lecture I don't know!
Before Her Eyes won the Readers Choice Award for mystery on BooksAndPals. Thanks so much to everyone who voted and the reviewers who nominated this book. I'm so honored.Before Her Eyes
Hostile Witness was just named a Thriller of the Month at www.e-thriller.com Dare I say - I'm thrilled :)
I'm honored! Thanks for your friendship! Hope you get a chance to check out A PERFECT HUSBAND!
Hey Anne! How are you? Probably holiday crazed like dthe rest of us. Hope they are wonderful. Thanks for remembering. I just published EXPERT WITNESS. It's online and ready to go. I'm so excited. I hope people like it. Best of the season. Let me know what you're working on.
Rebecca
Just wanted to send you a quick note to say hi! Last I heard, you were working on getting your latest "Witness" book ready to go up - I've since finished "Silent Witness" and am about to start "Privileged Witness." Hope all is well with you this holiday season!
Thanks for linking up with me, Rebecca. Your books sound thrilling. I just sent in my fourth thriller to my publisher. Mine usually have a paranormal twist with a love interest.Warm Regards,
Julie Achterhoff
Darcia,Thanks for writing back. It was fun and funny how it all got started. I think all writers have great stories.
Thanks for the add, Rebecca! I love that a dare turned you into such a prolific author!
