Courtney King Thank you for becoming a fan.


Courtney King Thank you for accepting the add.


Kimberly Russell I'm way late to the party but your books look amazing and I can't wait to dive in!


Jolene Perry Liz -

Wow. Thank you SO much.
That was a very personal book to write, and I really thought I was going to get hammered in reviews for it.
I'm ALWAYS glad when that's not the case.

Thanks so much for taking the time to write. Seriously.

Jolene


message 4: by Liz

Liz Thank you so much for your Friendship. Just finished (devoured) your book "Knee Deep". Simply breathtaking and beautifully written.


Jolene Perry Hey! Thanks for chiming in, but I've actually already read this one, lol. I just want it on my shelf ;-D

And you're SPOT on with why I really liked it.

I did a big post on how much I loved it and Antony John and I went back quite a few times. SUCH a nice guy.


message 2: by Fred

Fred Hey there! Saw that you entered the giveaway for Five Flavors of Dumb, just putting in my two cents, I enjoyed that one quite a bit, and I think you will too. It's all about the MC, and her struggles with family issues and trusting herself. Fun but not without its poignant moments. If you don't win, I have it in paper, fwiw, and would be happy to send it to you!
