The power and poignancy of the opening pulls me in immediately... what an excellent and most promising premise for the story.<br /><br />No worries, Leo. I am relieved to be out of the Spam Folder, though... (ha! for practice... funny lady). I've finally gotten rid of that kink in my neck.<br /><br />Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776568257316390461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371156661924293919.post-11621392593940964132013-07-12T14:00:30.211-07:002013-07-12T14:00:30.211-07:00Hi Les, so sorry, but I just found your comment in...Hi Les, so sorry, but I just found your comment in the Spam box. I have no idea why they tossed you in there except maybe for practice.<br /><br />Thank you for your kind comments AND for buying Mar's book. I'm glad you stopped by. Now, I will check spam more often. My daughter's comment was there also.

Such a cozy room and such wonderful friends! I'm so excited for you, Mar. I'm buying my copy today, via Leo's link, and I plan to read it as soon as I finish my currect book. Serendipity and creativity - and hard work - are all at play together here, with two dear friends and books coming out during similar times. I wish you the very best of luck with getting the good word getting out!<br />All best wishes always... to you both,<br />LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11776568257316390461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8371156661924293919.post-40354282973432407082013-07-03T21:18:11.842-07:002013-07-03T21:18:11.842-07:00If only I could really sit down and enjoy coffee w...If only I could really sit down and enjoy coffee with two of my favorite ladies. It's wonderful to find you both over here and both of you with books out in the same year. (Just a little longer, Leo. :) ) <br /><br />Mar, I think you have the best bio I've read in a long time. I'm going to study it so I can make mine better. And your opening scene is incredibly powerful--gives me shivers.
