“It began with a perfect plan. Shape-wise we had a circle, a simple uncomplicated curve to guide us comfortably from one thing to another, an easy predictable ride promising a natural progression from A to B, C and D, and so on until we reached our destination. But somewhere down that smooth line, I think around F, it all went pear-shaped.”

Ivana, my new novel RIVER RAT (A Lucy DelRose Mystery Series) went live on Kindle. A southern romance mystery set along the banks of the Mississippi River. Lucy DelRose's ex-husband washes out from under her marina - dead. Nasty drug dealer begin chasing her, alligators try to eat her, and she gets blown sky high. This gutsy southern woman kicks ass to protect her family from danger.
Greetings Ivana:
I am Very Glad to Call You "Friend".
Make sure to keep in Touch.

Thank you for your invitation to be your friend. I read your profile. You are a busy lady. Is your tag your first paragraph in your novel? Quite intriguing!

Hi Ivana,
Thanks for the add! I will check out your website very soon. I am glad to see how much you are enjoying The Space Between Us. It has been on my to-read list for quite a while now. It was recommended to me by amazon.com because of how much I enjoyed Rohinton Mistry's, A Fine Balance (perhaps only because both novels are set in India...).
Your reviews are good, Ivana, and I'll bet your books are too. Here's a link to Otis Chandler:

Ask him for an author's page.
Hi Ivana, Thanks for wanting to be my friend! How did you come across me BTW? And what made you want to be my friend? Oh well I am a very friendly person I never reject a chance for a new friend! I love all the things you love in life too!!!! Plus my kids are number one on the list though!
Hi Ivana - nice to meet you. :-)I'm also a big fan of good conversation, good books and good chocolate. Not to mention a nice cup of good tea.
Thanks so much for the invitation. Coffee, chocolate, kindness--you know what matters. Very best wishes with A Decent Ransom!
congratz for your recently published novel, gonna looking forward for if it somehow licensed here :)
Hi Ivana, thanks for the add.
You have good books on your shelf there. And I will definitely try the un-put-down-able book ;)
Hi Ivana,
Thank you for add me in your friendlist, nice to know you in Goodreads. Hope we can share more about all good books here. Thanks.
Cheers,
Roos
