Hi Cheryl! Just wanted to tell you I rated The Whale Song on Amazon and wrote you a review. I thoroughly enjoyed your book! My gosh I felt like I was right there, living in the moment of your writing. I applaude you and wish you the best of luck!
Blessings,
Jeannie
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
Hi Cheryl,
Thank you for being my friend. Good fortune on your books.
Please visit these groups when you have a chance: “Happy & Brainy Group” and “To the Glory of Man”.
Have a wonderful day. Best regards.
Thanks for adding me to your circle of friends, Cheryl. It's good to see a fellow Canadian author on Goodreads. I see that I write mostly about people in the past and you write about them in the future.

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 :)
Dear Cheryl
Thankyou for asking me on your friends list I like your profile photo it is beautiful
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.
-Jeremy :)
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?
Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous friendships, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

Thanks for the add!
& neat review of The Dollmaker. I might read it, but I've got quite a big list stacking up at the moment!
