Right now I’m reading two of my own books. I started a new series (The Bogey Mysteries) and now I’m ready to write another Sandi Webster mystery. I need to find my Sandi voice again.

Some years go I wrote a YA novel and I recently queried a publisher that's looking for girls' YA. At the moment I'm writing a short story that I may post online. Whew! That's on top of my day job.

At the top is where you post what's happening NOW. On the icon for camera, you post photos taken off your computer files. I suggest your book covers. To the left are Blog Posts. You can also post events where you will be signing, start discussions. On the friends, you can "invite" people, click "View All" and send a message to all of us.

Nearly every site I've sent you to is exactly the same. Take a deep breath, navigate slowly until you've figured it out.
