A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Elyse. It may interest you that my book Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom in now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. It is not 'dark' fiction, but you might find it amusing. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)Stan

Hi, Elyse! I just uploaded your recent interview on my Live Journal profile. You can use this link to see it and use it if you wish: http://lordwalkiwolf.livejournal.com/...Now, I think I deserve my dinner and a chilled-out evening. However, I think 24 hours a day are never enough. Take care and catch up soon!

Hi, Thanks for connecting. RE: Les Miserables. I think both the book and the musical are amazing. -Kate
Thanks a lot, Elyse. Best regards to you and your beautiful daughter. Good luck with "Free Will" and "Consequences". Kudos to your great job.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Hi Elyse,Thank you for adding me. I looked through your books and I found so many id love to read, so I added some to my amazon wishlist, which keeps growing and growing. Anyways, nice to meet you.

Dear Elyse,Thank you for being my friend, for joining the Happy & Brainy Group, and for marking Reason Reigns to-read. I wish you good fortune on your endeavors.
When you could, please check out the author giveaways and "My Writing" (88 pages of Reason Reigns).
Best regards,
Ilyn
Dear Friends (post under Happy & Brainy group), I listed three sets of Reason Reigns giveaways under:

Take care.
Hugs,

It's great to meet you, too! ::)I have a sister who lives in Aurora, BTW. I used to live in Capitol Hill maybe 20 years ago. In fact, Denver has been mentioned in each of my last two books!
I remember being at a party at the Gevernor's mansion -- and a journalist from the RMN kept following me around asking about my toe polish color. What a perv! LOL
Have a fantastic, sunshiny day!
Your Friend,
LP
Elyse, one of my granddaughters is about the age of your daughter and she's near you in Longmont, CO.
Thanks for the comment, Elyse. And, hey, you're reading The Book Thief - I'm supposed to be reading that from a friend's recommendation. How is it so far?
