I used to pride myself on my animal training skills. In Psych 101, I taught a rat to tap two buttons in a seventeen-step left-right sequence. My pet guinea pig, Rusty, used a litter box. And don’t get me started on Duffer, who could have been created by BF Skinner.
But then I met Double, and this happened:

| One of those books that's so good I had to put it down occasionally to prevent writer envy from consuming me. | |

Hi Alafair,Thanks for accepting my friendship. I have really enjoyed reading your work, and would like to invite you to check out mine.
All best wishes,
Linda
Thank you for being my new friend, Alafair. Good timing too, as I'm on my second draft of my first crime thriller. Quite different than my other four paranormal books. I started in law at American University, but made the mistake of becoming a police officer, which, at that time, operated under two different codes of ethics. Since all my novels have strong female characters, I look forward to reading yours.
Hi Alafair. I just finished Long Gone and loved it. Keep up the good work. All I can say is ATTAGIRL!!!!!
Hi Alafair. Thanks for friending me. I have read almost everything your father has written, and when I discovered that you were a real person, not just a fictional daughter, and also an author, I began to read your books. I think your father is wonderfully gifted, and you seem to be following in his tradition. Keep up the good work.
Hey Alafair! I'm a big fan! Have to catch you on FB too! Honored to be listed amongst your friends. Would love to make you a fan of mine! Message me your PO Box address.. I'd love to send you a signed copy of Eye For An Eye if you'd like to take a chance on me!
Hey everyone. I'm happy to be here. I just signed up today so am still figuring out how best to be in touch with readers through GoodReads. I'm always happy to find a spot dedicated to books!
Hi Alafair,It's great to see you on Goodreads! I am honored to have you as a friend here.
Wishing you continued success... :)
~Rai
