Majenta Hello, Eric! Happy Monday! Friend Request Accepted, thanks for the request! I like the title of your book "Get Your Mind Out of the Clutter"--good one! And I like the Rohinton Mistry quote about the face having limited space.

Have a good week. Happy reading, writing, decluttering, and everything else!

Best wishes from Majenta

Mark Parker Eric, since you read so many books, I'm wondering whether or not you are interested in middle grade fiction? If so, would you like to read and review my new book, Shaky Man? I will gladly send you a signed copy if you will send me your mailing address.

Thanks,
Mark
