Tasha Alexander, A Fatal Waltz

“Oh, I don't read. I skulk about in search of quotations that might make me appear educated.”
Tasha Alexander, A Fatal Waltz

“At least as a single woman, I had time to pursue my own interests, read voraciously, and travel when opportunity presented.”

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Tasha. You seem like an interesting person, as well as quite the prolific author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
