Hi Grace! Thanks for the heads up on your book. The Dangerous Hero group is a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for accepting my friend request, Grace. You seem like an interesting person, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's.Regards, and have a great day, Ed
