The imagination; that is, the way we shape and use the world, indeed the way we see the world, has geographical boundaries like islands, continents, and countries. These boundaries can be crossed. That Dogon fox and his impuden

Majenta Hello, Caroline! Friend Request Accepted, thanks for Requesting! Congratulations on your books.
Question: Why is "Cincinnati" misspelled in your information?
I hope you've had a productive week and will have an even better one ahead! Happy writing, reading, and everything else. Blessings!

Best wishes from Majenta


Caroline Gerardo I love Goodreads! It is fun to see what everyone is reading. I also enjoy seeing friends with similar books, then looking at what else they recommend or read. I'm always reading. Sometimes 18-20 books a month.

Harlequin Books Hello Caroline, it is a pleasure to meet you.

Jesse Hanson Dear Caroline,
Thanks much for including me among your Goodreads friends. It looks like your working very hard as a writer and I wish you much success.
Should you find the time and if you have an interest in spirituality, I would ask you to consider my spiritual allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man for your reading list. It's fiction but is inspired by events from my life.
Namaste, jesse


Cheryl Landmark Thanks for the friend request, Caroline.
