I agree with Dianne...makes me want to pit up. Question: if he was standing in front of you, how did he come OVER to you? And how in the heck does someone strike up a conversation with someone they don't even know about how they can please them? I don't understand how that conversation got started??? Splain it to me Lucy...

I started writing when I was a kid. I did a long scrawly plethora of creative things because that was what made me tick.

I didn't "go public" with my poetry until I was 50. I rarely saw a reason to share it before then, but several friends convinced me. One said "It's like a gift, and you've put it on a closet shelf where it doesn't do anyone much good." I had never thought of it that way. I always thought that excellence did not need anyone else's approval, so I created for myself alone.

I've returned from vacationing and trying to catch up with you lovely ladies. I've always written, but not seriously until just a couple of years ago. I was praying and asked God what I should write about. He immediately responded with "Me."

I couldn't resist and started learning technique and what I was good at. My dream is to write fiction novels with an underlying Christian theme that will intrigue the reader without being "in your face." I also like to do humor. I've had a couple things published but no pay yet.

And of all the weirdest things - I got hired part-time as an editor with Mundania Press who published Vicki's "Not Without Anna", which I've read by the way - but to top it off, Bob Sanders assigned me her book to write a press release for inclusion in the Barnes & Noble package. So, here I am writing this PR and thinking that author's name is familiar and it was driving me nuts. HA HA! She's here at Boomers!

Hi Vicki! Talk about a small world.

JJ- Let me tell you that I've already sent for my copy of Evie's fundraiser book and I've totally enjoyed her emails.

Hi Dian, yes, it's definitely a small world. I don't know what tickles me more, that you recognized my name or that you read my book!! [Big Grin] [Big Grin]

My local library had Vicki's book and I read it from there. Great book. I hope my PR sells many more copies!
