My pleasure, Madge. Glad you enjoy my books. I hope you're not disappointed in me on Goodreads, though. I tend not to say much.
Thank you for accepting my friend request! Love your books :)
Sally-Anne--My pleasure. I hope you're not disappointed, though. I tend to be very quiet.
I adore Ella Enchanted :D. I also enjoyed The Two Princesses of Bamarre and Fairest. Writing Magic was one of the first books on writing I read, and it has helped me a lot, and really encouraged me to write. Thank you! ;)
I finished reading your book Ella Enchanted a few days ago and I must say, it was wonderful.Also, your book Writing Magic: Creating Stories That Fly is very helpful and inspiring.
