Guest Blogger: Kathy Holmes 'Don't Let Anybody Steal Your Voice'
We have a special guest today! I have known Kathy for years. We met on an a chick lit yahoo group online. Right away, I could sense she was a kindred spirit because she and I were in the same boat and we both loved Disney World. Ahem, let me make this clear – I've never been and she has worked for Disney but I digress (one day I'll make it!). So it is with great pleasure to have her today at Literarily Speaking.
