“It is absolutely okay with me if you need to keep some secrets. I've been thinking about this and I decided that a best friend is someone who, when they don't understand, they still understand.”
Nancy Werlin, Impossible

“When you first fall in love, it's supposed to be awful. Awful, uncertain, scary, wonderful, confusing, all at once. That's how you know it's real. You have to care deeply. Passionately. That hurts.”
Nancy Werlin, Impossible

“ MATTHEW'S RULES OF SURVIVAL
1. Sometimes, the people who mean you harm are the ones who say they love you.

Danielle Hi there,

Thanks for the friend add :) I started reading Impossible and literally couldn't put it down until I had finished it. It was truly an amazing book and I just wanted to tell you how much I personally loved it! And what a great idea to use the sound Scarborough Fair... So awesome!

Danielle :)

Nancy Hello, Amjed. I'm glad you sent me a note. Thanks for the kind words. I look forward to reading your book -- warmest congratulations! I know just how hard it can be to write and publish that first book. (The second is hard, too... they're all hard, but you don't need to dwell on that now.)

All best, Nancy


message 1: by Amjed

Amjed Qamar Nancy,

Hello. I feel weird just dropping you a line, the author I've read and admired and thought, how ingeniously clever in plot and character. NO joke. Thank you for adding me as your friend. Many a nights I struggled to just keep writing, and now, when I finally face the fruits of my labor, this forum provides me the opportunity to say thank you to the many authors whose works have guided me.
Thanks Nancy.
