Dear Reader
Dear Reader,
Locked wards are fortresses, with countless rules, regulations and security measures. Outsiders generally are never permitted entry. But in order to write my new novel - to collect authentic details to populate its pages and understand what my characters were experiencing - I knew I had to somehow find a way to get inside one.
Finally, I found someone in a city hundreds of miles from my Read more of this blog post »

"4.5/5 stars
Sarah Pekkanen is on a roll! This book was another great one! This story bounces back and forth between timelines (1960's and currents) and also between narrators/characters. Four women brought together by a college professor/scientist, Dr." Read more of this review » |

question:
Hi! If I ever had to revisit a character, it would be Stella. I miss her! Right now, I have no plans to write another book about her, but I definitely do not rule it out. My next book is The Women in White and following that will be The Night Nanny.

HiThanks for the vote of friendship
You are a writer, and as such, we are thrilled to have you, Your work is what drives GR, If you write Erotica,, that’s what drives US.
I’m sending you a link to my group Sex, BDSM, and Romance
I came here six months ago hoping to raid the bookshelf (what are the kinky people reading?)
I found a ship adrift with no captain and what appeared to be corpses. The bookshelf I wanted to browse was locked and the mod was a scarecrow. He left GR in 2014.
I complained to GR admin.,.. (and I didn’t really learn from the Navy,,,,)
GR took this as me volunteering!!
I woke up the shiny new mod of Sex, BDSM, and Romance
Bear with us. We are learning. I sent you an invitation to the group and to the chat group
Look around… meet people and enjoy yourself
FRIEND ALL OF OUR MODS (so we can talk to you)
You will see the Discussion tab,, Hit that, and scroll down to the ‘introduce yourself tab’. (we want you to do that) As you scroll to the end,, look to see how others do it (never forget to BRAG, BRAG, BRAG) then when you get the microphone (the text box) tell us about your books, what you write and plans for the future.
(never forget,,, we love KINKY) LOL
Again, welcome aboard.
