When I read an article on Yahoo! Education, Don’t Let Your Kids Study These Majors, I tweeted the link and titled it, “Another Way to Discourage Kids from Following Their Passion.” My comment sparked a lively debate, which I decided to follow up with a letter.

......................Hi Angela!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your friendship!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is inspired by all of the stories I've heard and the experiences I've gathered over the years in the real estate industry. That's why it's fiction! No one would believe the true stories I could tell! I'm sure you can relate to that.
Hi Angela,I tagged "Legs" on Amazon and added it to my to read list. I sounds like great fun...not too autobiographical I hope?
Thank you so much for your interest in Bombshell! I'm stoked to see that you're doing a signing for your novel and I SO wish I could come. I hope you do well though! Keep in touch and let me know if you do any other signings out toward my way (somewhere around Palm Springs-ish.)
Hi Ilyn,I'm doing well. Thank you for the good wishes for Legs. I am hoping my second novel will do better ;-)
Thank you for the invite to the other groups.
Your friend,
Angela
Hello Angela,How are you? Thank you for accepting my friend-request. Good fortune on Legs. I wish you a Healthy, Happy, & Prosperous 2009.
Please visit these groups when you have a chance: Happy & Brainy Group, To the Glory of Man, and Reason Reigns. Have a marvelous 2009. Warmest regards.
Thanks for connecting as readerly friends. I'd like to invite you to read the first chapter of my new novel:http://forthemayqueen.blogspot.com/
Sincerely,
Kate
Angela, I loved your piece! I voted on it. The title itself will bring the book much deserved attention. I'm gonna check it out, please send reminders to us on Goodreads when it's out okay? Best Wishes!
Have a great weekend! I look forward to being your friend on Goodreads. I just put up a sample of my thriller, Melody on my page. Check it out and vote. I'd love your opinion! Best Wishes!
