Michelle Sutton, Letting Go

about all the hopes and dreams that he had for his son. More than
anything, he prayed his boy would not grow up to be a screw up
like his dad when it came to love and marriage.”

I wish! I had a deadline that I just finished a few days ago, but I had a trip to visit my dad who is terminally ill so that bumped it forward, then I was sick and had stuff back up. I just need to wade through the Carol books now that the Grace Awards are over. Then there are the blog tours. It never ends. I do have it slated to read hopefully no later than June. I will get to it sooner if I can. I just got swamped.


Catherine Hey Michelle, just wondered if you'd had a chance to read/review Yesterday's Tomorrow yet? Thanks!

Sounds good. I have a romance that I'd let to sell to Harlequin one of these days. But first I have to fulfill all of my other contracts.


Harlequin Books Hi Michelle, I'm pleased to meet you and look forward to discussing books with you. If you ever have any questions about any of the titles on my shelves or about eHarlequin.com and all it has to offer, please ask. I'll be happy to answer. I’ll also update news when I can for example; did you know that in March Silhouette Desires will be putting out their 2000th book? The authors are celebrating with a special blog on eHarlequin.com :).


Michelle Cool. When you finish let me know what you think. Several people who have read all my books said they liked this one best. :)

Jeannie Faulkner Barber Hi Michelle and thanks for adding me as friend. You are such an interesting AND busy woman! If you have time, I'd love for you to visit my web site, www.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

Ibrahim Michelle, my sister,

Seeing what you are doing, one verse came to my mind in Arabic, and I shall quote it to you here in Hebrew:
יג צַדִּיק, כַּתָּמָר יִפְרָח; כְּאֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשְׂגֶּה.

This is you. Psalm 92: 13. I have nothing more to say.

Keep being productive for our Lord of the Vineyard.

In Christ our Victor,

Ibrahim

Margaret Hi! Just stopping by to say hello and to thank you for adding me to your friend list.


Jeremy 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 :)

P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Jeremy Hi Michelle!

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 Hi Michelle!

If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite book of all time?

Here’s wishing you a weekend filled with wacky whims, wonderful weirdness, and well-disposed werecats.
