Joan Hess is my favorite mystery writer. If you've never tried her, read her Maggody series. Brilliant.

Just a note: if you request to be my 'friend' on MySpace, I will almost always approve, but if I don't approve it, it may be because your profile is set at 'private'. I completely understand why some folks want to keep their profiles private, but in my opinion, if I can't see your profile, I can't determine that you aren't a potential spammer!
Sorry!
However... if you do wish to add me as a friend and want your profile to stay private, just send me a private message.
Thanks, all!!!

Thank you for friending me. I really enjoyed looking around your space. It is really an honor to receive a friend request from a fellow author. Thanks so much and all the best for success with your books.
I hope you found my latest book, KING OF SWORD AND SKY. I'm working hard to finish my next book, QUEEN OF SONG AND SOULS. I hope you will enjoy them both.
Cheers!!! C.L. Wilson (Cheryl)

"...It is hard to sometimes walk away from a problem in order to solve it. Sometimes our burdens seem so great that they are irresolvable. I have learned this from the study of Logic: To actually know that a problem exists there needs to be some form of a solution to base it on that it exists. As in Physics we cannot measure darkness, so we used Mythos to describe the darkness, even the darkness of our minds. Mythos predates and is the ancestor of our modern Psychologies. The problems we find hardest to walk away from are those that cause us to feel dread. What is easiest to change is the feeling of dread..." From the book: The Lyth of Lemmings by Frank Mueller

Thank you so much for adding me to your circle of friends. It’s always nice to meet a fellow writer. You have an amazing space it’s very warm and inviting. I look forward to being a part of your network. I wish you a happy and successful 2008!
Please let me introduce myself properly.... I am author, speaker, therapist, coach and humanitarian, has lived a life that is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit, which is brilliantly captured in my Amazon best-selling memoir, Pursuit of Light, An Extraordinary Journey. For over thirty years I have helped and inspired thousands of people to move beyond their personal challenges in order to explore and embrace the possibilities in their own lives. I have spoken at venues from Alice Tully Hall in Lincoln Center, New York, to Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. I have a regular contributor to Global Woman Magazine and have been featured on numerous television shows including a special segment on her life and work on NBC's Nightly News with Tom Brokaw and a nationally televised documentary.
Kind and Loving Regards,
Sandy Brewer
