Hi, Kelly--
Thanks for the invitation! Can't remember if I gave you the blog for my latest novel "The Witches of Dixie: Book One of the Witchery Series." I put up the first two chapters yesterday. I think I had different chapters up on that blog when I received your message. What a crazy year (grin)!
Anyway, here it is: http://www.TheWitchesofDixie.blogspot.co...
Happy reading and magickal blessings!
So, I'm an idiot. Today isn't Wednesday and my brain hit the snooze button. Sigh. The book is out Thursday, not tomorrow.
(sheepishly)

Awww thanks, but actually the icon is me at age six! One of those Olan Mills things! But thank you!!!
Thank you, Kelly. The pleasure is mine. Always nice to touch base with others in the industry. Well met.
Nice to meet you; can't wait to read your book!
Best,
Katie

Hello Kelly,
i really enjoy and good suspense & mystery book,
i like face paced action, snappy dialogue <( love a good come-back line, or a good put-down line)
murder, mystery, mayhem and or course a real electric chemistry from the main and secondary characters.
So Kelly which of your books would you recommended a first timer reader to your novels begin with
and
are any of your books serials?
Emma
Took a look at your site...beautiful photos. Looking forward to your book when life slows down a bit. :)
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for recommending your book When the Leaves Stop Falling. It sounds very interesting and I look forward to reading it.
Hi, Kelly! Thanks for finding me. I definitely pay attention to comments when I log in, I just have to remember to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. LOLBest,

Thanks for the introduction! And the sweet comment about m'boy! (You know how it is). Love your profile picture by the way, too cute.
Hey lady,
Read your profile. Good to meet you. Loved your quotes and your books sound very interesting.
Beth
Thank you. My little girl is turning into quite the bookworm. It is nice to meet another Catholic author.
I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. 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
Very nice to meet you too. And all the best with your books! :)
I also have three published novels. All 3 are Amazon bestsellers. I invite you to check them out.
