HI... Thanks for adding me. I really appreciate it. I got a copy of "Black Out" when I went to the US three weeks ago. The cover caught my eye, the short description made me want more and since I started reading I just can't stop. The story captivates me. It's almost like I'm in the middle of it. :o) You're a great author. I will definitely get the other books too. Keep up the good work. Have a great weekend!

I was just wondering... When did you first start writing? And when did you first get published? Like was it easy for you to get published, or was it really difficult? I know it's majorly difficult, but I wanna know from your standpoint :)
