Hi Cheryl and thanks so much for adding me as a friend. I watched the trailer to Whale Song and read your excerpt and then I ordered your book! Can't wait for it to arrive! If you have time, I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. We’re both very green, but we’ve met so many people on this site willing to reach out and offer advice or a guiding hand.
Blessings,
Jeannie

Hello, new Goodreads friend. Congratulations on your literary successes. I love your career description, "I kill people for a living."
I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.Argh...this is terrible...
Again, I'm very sorry.
-Jeremy
Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats. -Jeremy :)

Happy New Year!
Hi Cheryl!Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.

Thanks for sharing, Cheryl! I've never read The Mists of Avalon, but I'll definitely check it out.Happytimes,
Jeremy :)
Hi Cheryl!If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite novel of all time? Or novels?
