Santa Maybe is Mace's third novel. I've read the previous two as well. She always has a way of bringing the reader into the story and care for the characters within a few short pages. Santa Maybe was a sweet story about a good girl who has been done...more |

"Fall For Anything" was beautiful. It started slowly and I almost quit after the third chapter because I felt like the pacing didn't match what I was hoping for... but I'm very glad that I stuck with the story. It's more than about a seventeen year ol...more |

i didn't move. but part of the reason we were going to--evil upstairs neighbors--went away. i hope you have a wonderful Memorial Day, Katherine.jen
It was a good read! I'll be moving soon, too. It's a hell of a thing, moving. Hope you enjoy your new digs :) jen
Okay! Double entendre. Get it?
(*this is why I don't write humor)
& judging from the synopses, I'll relate to much, if not all, of your work. Best, Jen
I try to send everyone a thank you for just putting my book on their shelf. lol Then I connected my Goodreads page to FB and every time I say "thanks" it appears in FB. After so many in a row I felt my friends were getting annoyed. Now, I say thank you 2 or 3 times a day. :)I hope you are having an amazing day!!
It's so funny, but I still get nervous every time someone tells me that :) Hope you enjoy the reading & have a beautiful day (don't let anyone get you with the April Fools stuff... I'm still trying to think of some good way to get the husband today)
Thank you! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on MC. You're an awesome reviewer. I also look forward to reading "Okay". I love the cover.
Hi Katherine, thanks for your comment on my page :) Yes, it's fantastic to get so many great reviews, and you have been a star with all your comments in the Pay it Forward Group, thanks!! I'm just happy people are enjoying the book... and it gives me motivation to carry on and keep writing more. I hope this bunch of new reviews will make more people decide to read it :)
Hi Katherine,Thank you so much for ordering a copy of TORN! I really hope that you'll enjoy it! Take care! :)

Hi Katherine, great to hear from you. Yes, I got your card, thanks!!I'm busy preparing to publish two new books soon. I'm still looking for a day job, having been made redundant a while back, but the writing keeps me sane!!
Hope all is well with you :)
