Amy Jenkins Hi Ed. A singer and writer--wonderful. I sometimes think I can sing, but my children correct me. Best of luck with your book.


message 4: by Ed

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Amy. You seem like an interesting person, as well as an accomplished author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.

Regards, and have a great day, Ed
