1263202 Kathy,

Thanks for your kind words about Summer Blowout and Life's a Beach!

Congrats on your first novel! I just loved House and Home. Such a great story, and so beautifully written. I wish you much success with it.

So nice to meet another Voice author. I think it's such a fabulous list.

Claire


1032417 Claire: Great to have you on Goodreads. I really enjoyed Summer Blowout and Life's a Beach. All good wishes from one Voice author to another.
