“In fact, "atheism" is a term that should not even exist. No one ever needs to identify himself as a "non-astrologer" or a "non-alchemist." We do not have words for people who doubt that Elvis is still alive or that aliens have traversed the galaxy only to molest ranchers and their cattle. Atheism is nothing more than the noises reasonable people make in the presence of unjustified religious beliefs.”

My book will be sold in English all over the world, so I hope you'll take the chance to give it a read. These four sisters kicked a**! ;)
Hi Sherry, Thank you kindly for your friendship :-) Couldn't quite match the content of your email, however am more than happy to know you. Alas could not enter your book giveaway as only for US residents. Small price to pay for friendship... have a relaxing day.
Catherine wrote: "Thanks for your friend request; I can't wait to read Four Sisters!"Thank you, Catherine! My e-novella/prequel to Four Sisters, All Queens debuts tomorrow (April 3) and includes the prologue and first chapter of the novel. It's titled WHITE HEART and it's $1.99, published by Simon & Schuster, and it's about Blanche de Castille, the snarky White Queen of France. I hope you enjoy it! And thanks for being my friend here.
Friends, please check out my new Simon & Schuster author page! It includes answers to fun questions including, "What do you regret most?" I'm still pinching myself to see myself included on the list of authors. Wow.http://authors.simonandschuster.com/S...
Debra wrote: "Thanks much for friending me! I'm looking forward to the publication of Four Sisters."Thank you, Debra! I am so reveling in the deliciousness of anticipation. I hope everyone else loves it at least as much as I. These four women were remarkable in every way.
Orsolya wrote: "Thank you so much for the kind words and friend request! I am honored :)"Orsolya, the honor is mine! And the pleasure of talking books with you. I am looking forward to it. Thank you for accepting my friend request.

The Memoirs of JR Holden is unique, in part, due to the humble nature of this star athlete. And the story he tells is one of hope, inspiration, faith, courage, and belief.
Truly inspiring!!
