We got married right out of high school and have been together ever since. Most things we have done together and we prefer it that way. We worked together at a private club and ran a very successful martial arts program for 15 years. Now we are trying our hand at writing books. Oh, did I mention the kids and grandkids? And there is a donkey, goat and cat too!

Beware of Friends

It seems that the internet scams will never cease until they get serious about stopping them.
Lately I have been getting a lot of friend requests on Goodreads. That in itself is okay, but one still has to be careful. I started receiving emails from someone going by the name of Kevin Masters who claimed to be a surgeon. I thought he was one of these new friends.
