I'd like to invite you and all your friends to check out (and hopefully subscribe to) my blog concerning the launch of my new novel, Child Finder. My book has already received some great reviews before its official release on June 9th. It is a mystery/suspense thriller -- and is only the first in a trilogy I am contracted to write.
Click here to access my blog where I will post information about the book's availability as well as signing events. Also, be sure to check out my novel's website (www.childfinder.us) for more detailed information about the story, my background, and publication schedules.
Happy Birthday Raymond, I hope that you had a great day! I have not talked to you in a while and I hope all is well with you. Big Hugs and Lots of Love, Cat
Oakland,California police officers that lost their lives in the line of duty~~~~~4 officers in one day
God bless them and their families~~~~~
Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there.
I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight
on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you wake in morning hush, I am the swift uplifting
rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night.
