Magical Alienation: A Samantha Brennan and Annabelle Haggerty Magical Mystery
Hi Joyce! Thank you for inviting a fellow author into your circle of friends here on Goodreads. I hope you'll add my novels What Would Nancy Do?, Lethal Prescription, In the Company of Women, The Christmas to Remember and Finding Normal to your to-read list. I look forward to reading your book reviews and recommendations. Happy reading!
Thanks for the friending, always glad to meet another mystery fan. Love paranormal and SF crossover mysteries too.
Thanks, J.P. I have actually seen a ghost too. I think many people have. Can't wait to talk with you.Joyce
Joyce, many thanks for the friendship. Rushing around today, but will be back to visit you and check out A Spirited Gift. Having actually seen a ghost, I'm very interested in that subject.
