| I thought it was a great short story, but I can't claim to be completely objective, close as I am with the author. :) | |

Hi Barry, Thank you for friending me on Goodreads. Well, I know that's not really a word, but I do appreciate the premise behind it. I've read your first John Rain novel so, since I liked it, I've got the second and third on hold at my local library. Can't wait!
Hi BarryNice to catch up with you here. The Michael Hastings book sounds very interesting. I'll have to seek that one out. How's life treating you?
Barry: We have launched a new book marketing Website at www.venturegalleries.com and would love for you to write a guest blog on the site. This week, we are publishing our first guest blog from Melissa Foster. Please check out the site, and if can write one for us, please let me know at cjp3@suddenlink.net. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks for accepting me as a friend.
