We hope that you will pay it forward by reading a group member's book. If you do, please leave the book title and author below. Let's spread some good cheer!

You wrote a much better review than I mostly do and I thank you for taking the time to review it and post it, especially on Amazon. I hope my stories take your mind off the necessary medical treatments.

I'm a slow reader too. The better the book, the slower I am.

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Thank you for your understanding, Anna. Hugs!

[Anna]

Here in England, yesterday was the first day for ages that we were officially entitled to hug - hugs for you too, Sam.

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

I have read and reviewed here and on Amazon. Hugs to All!

[Anna]

Hurray!

I read by Alex Carver and left reviews here and on Amazon. Hugs to All!

Alex wrote: "Thank you so much Sam, I really appreiate that. Hope you enjoyed it..."

I certainly did! You're very welcome. Huge Hugs!

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Alex wrote: "That's great to hear. Big big hugs."

I also posted them on Facebook and Twitter. Hugs!

Alex wrote: "Thank you so much. Hopefully that will generate some interest for the. Off to find them and read and share now."

You're very welcome. Just trying to help. I'm a slow reader and am doing my best. Hugs

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

I also just read and left reviews here and on Amazon by Carole P Roman. This is an awesome series!

[Anna]

Oh Sam, you are wonderful - you have given two lovely people a big lift. I hope your own writing is going well.

[Carole]

Just saw this- Thanks, a lot, Sam!!!!

Hi Anna, What a kind thing to say. Thank you. Unfortunately, my health condition has declined to the point I cannot write or type for long periods. Still going for treatments at the city hospital, but it's been 5 years now and I've only gotten worse. Writing this message took much longer than it should because I have to stop after every 5 words or so. Very frustrating, as my story continues to grow in my head but I doubt I'll ever get it in a file to publish. Huge Hugs

Have you tried dictating it direct to the screen? I don't know much about this but someone who reads this might be able to tell you more.

I don't have that option, but thank you for the suggestion. Hugs

I finally finished reading by Michael Phillip Cash and left reviews here and on Amazon.

[Carole]

On behalf of my son- thanks a million!!!

He's quite welcome... and talented! Hugs

Alex wrote: "Do you use Microsoft Word for your writing, Sam?

If you do it has a dictate option. It's not the greatest, but if you're just trying to get the words down for a first draft it will help."

I have MS Word 2010. I'll research this option. Thank you. Hugs

[Anna]

It might be because I remember trying it many years ago and getting annoyed because it couldn't understand me! Cheek. I gave up, but you might have better luck, Sam.

Thank you, Anna. Checked into it, but could only get out one sentence before it stops. When I pressed the keys required to start it up, I received a message dictation is not supported. Probably available on a later version than mine. Will have to wait.

[Sam (Rescue Dog Mom, Writer, Hugger)]

Dear Moderator, I apologize for going off-topic.
Thank you all for trying to help me dictate my book into MS Word.
Huge Hugs to All!

[Valerie]

You could try Googling 'free dictation', Sam. Several possible options came up there. Just a thought :)

I was going to suggest what Anna suggested. Don't know if it would be any easier, but it might be worth a shot. Hang in there!
