You may remember my interview with author Cinta García de la Rosa, after I read her wonderful children's book, The Funny Adventures of Little Nani.
I am thrilled to be taking part in the blog tour for the re-launch of this book. Now I'm going to hand over to Cinta, so she can tell you more about it!

A great short story. It's a dark fantasy. We are taken to a different world, and the author did well in describing the surroundings, the various dark arts, and the characters' emotions. Skerin is on a mission to recover something that was once his, b...more |

Behind The Smile
Maria, thanks for friending me here in Goodreads. We authors have to stick together and get the word out about our works. Have a great Thanksgiving!
Just wanted to stop by here to see you and say hello...and say you're awesome!:)Thank you for everything! Have a great day!Joe
Hi Maria- Great that you've won the first monthly book club discussion! I can't wait to discuss A Time to Tell with everyone.
Hi Maria- Just wanted to say thank you for the christmas card! And wanted to see if you had gotten mine?I never even noticed that we could post comments on this site. I just read all the ones you posted for the past few months! sorry!
Hope all is going well for this year!
I got Pieces Of A Rainbow today by UPS. I will try reading it soon. Since it is in short story form I may just be able to do it! :-) I hope that all is well. Peace
You're very welcome! We have to support one another. I have a new blog post, tell me what you think.http://treasuresyw.wordpress.com/
Hey Maria. Thank you for the invite to friendship. I hope that all is well with you. Many Blessings to you!
Thank you, Maria, for adding Musical Chairs. I hope to read A Time To Tell very soon. See you on "Coffee's Hot"Warmly, Jen
Hi, Maria. Your new photo is lovely. I just read a review of your book and I had to drop in and say "CONGRATULATIONS"...
Hi Maria,just dropping by for a visit. I would like to invite you to check out Shadow Forrest Authors for charity and help support illiteracy issues.http://www.shadowforestauthors.com
We also have a SFA group here on goodreads. Have a great week.

Hi Maria, I'm glad you enjoyed the blog novel. Thanks so much for the thorough review ;) (and cross-posting the review on other places!). I think my first two books (writing/editing/publishing/marketing) have exhausted me quite a bit...I'm looking forward to "continuing on a degree" soon (in the process of registering for classes). I think it'd be a nice change of pace.Thanks again. Have a great weekend; I will send good thoughts/good karma your way in the meantime.
Jess.
You're welcome.And thanks a lot for your friendship:)really it's a pleasure to meet you.Have a great day

Hi Maria -- Just stopped by to see what you've been up to. Let me know when your new collection of short stories will be available. Best -- Quinn
Hi Maria:Just passing "through town" and wanted to say hello to you! Hope everything is going great!
TTYS,

Maria, thanks for the friendship, make good use of your "in-between" time. Best, cinda williams chimawww.cindachima.com
Happy St. Paddy's to you Maria . . . Love your leprecauhns!! (let's keep 'em guessing about that one!) -- Quinn
Hi Maria --Thanks for your recent comment regarding 'Horse Latitudes' in the Amazon UK fiction forum "Why hasn't somebody made the movie??"
Unless the book in question is plot-driven, genre fiction (ala Tom Clancy), gotta stand by the old adage "Great books make bad movies." Great books are the product of great writing. It's all about words. Films are a visual medium. One doesn't readily translate into the other (or with the same effect). I've always felt novelists are closer to musicians or composers than screen writers. Tho I wouldn't mind some Hollywood producer writing me a fat check for the movie rights.
By the way, hope you have a very happy birthday!
Quinn
Hello Maria,How are you? Thank you for being my friend. Good fortune on your books. I wish you all the best for 2009 and always.
Please visit these groups when you have a chance: Happy & Brainy Group, To the Glory of Man, Reason Reigns, and Goodreads Tea Party. Have a marvelous week. Warmest regards.
Hi Maria!Thank you for acknowledging one of my books that I recommended, and added to your list of, to read books. I thank you very much!
Just in case I didn't...May I recommed both my books.
"Love of a Lifetime& Abandoned Love"
Love your website...good, clear, giving all the information needed. I tend to ramble - you'll have to give me some pointers!
Maria, thank you so much for the glowing Amazon review you gave What Remains. You certainly boosted sales.I've just received my copy of A Time to Tell and look forward to it--though my mother will probably read it first. She is staying with me to recover from hip surgery and is enjoying my home library.
Again, many thanks!
This Texas cowboy appreciates the friendship, darlin'.
