Thank you for being a new friend. I just got another of your books today... Can't wait to read it. I love reading more than anything. It is my passion and I always, always have a book going. Sometimes two, but usually I focus on one at a time if it is a really good one and I've read many good ones from authors on this wonderful site. Have a great week. :)
