Hi Winona

Your job sounds interesting. How did you connect with an author in Africa?! Yes, I'm glad to be working, too. I retired from the day job this past September so the editing and my group appearances being successful means I'll get to stay retired! LOL! The bills do go on!
I notice Shara is letting you know about FWA. I'm the Facilitator for the Sarasota Chapter of that. Writers groups are great for networking face to face. Dahris and I are very close friends. I do the poetry page for her Infinite Writer e-zine.
I'm about half done with my editing job . . . wanna race? I'm kidding - I'm giving this 100%. It's and incredible story from the author that won a Palm award from FWA last year for "Shadow" - Gordon Tucker. He's a brilliant writer.
Nice to hear from you.
Best,
Susan

Winona,
Thank you so much for sharing your compassion with me. My daughter left six years ago on September twenty-first. Every year on that date I take it very hard, therefore forgive me for not writing to you sooner.

Congrats on your children's books, Winona! How did you like your experience with lulu? I am finishing up a poetry book and trying to decide on publishers. I'd love to have your opinion on the process with lulu. Thanks!
Take care,
Colleen

Congratulations on your books. I'll check out your site!

Thank you Nadia. I am going to enjoy the "Bookmarket". I am sure we can learn something new everyday here.
As far as my books, they are children stories, mainly fairytales. Though I did write something for older kids and it has been accepted for publishing at Writer's Exchange. Right now, it is going through the editing que, so it may be awhile before it is released. I am proud of this story too because it is about a Cherokee Indian boy. I can't wait to see the illustrations for this one. I also have one at Guardian Angel publisher, and it is still being considered. Ahhh, the agony of the wait. But, since we have time on our hands, what does it hurt to wait a little while longer?
Oh, I just thought of something, Do you do interviews? Perhaps I can interview you for my webpage. I never done anything like this before, but it sounds like a good thing to do, what do you think?
