Maxine Billings Hello, Leslie! As I explained to Lawrence, I discovered that I have some messages I haven't responded to. I tried several times to respond but was not able to perform certain functions from my account. Please accept my sincere apologies for not responding to your message sooner.

Your support and encouragement are greatly appreciated. When someone takes the time from their busy schedule to not only read my book but also write to let me know how much they enjoyed it, it makes my day. Your message lifted my spirit! :)
