Who I'd like to meet: People interested in writing and art, whether they're actually involved in producing it or just interested--that means readers, writers, librarians, teachers, booksellers, artists, musicians and other potential friends.
Hi there, just wanted to stop by and wish you a Happy Thanksgiving! Stay safe, eat lots of turkey and pie and enjoy spending time with your family. I know I will:)
Hi! I am always interested in other writers here on MySpace. I need to spend more time writing. At one time, I wrote every day for about an hour. I think it is great that you have published seven novels. I don't write mysteries, and tend to write more literary fiction, but I have certainly read several mystery novels.
Hi John: The pics deal with DIAS DE LOS MUERTOS IN COZUMEL...AND SO DOES MY BOOK. I'm standing in the square in Cozumel with the days of the dead food etc and the last one is the spirit of the dead I rescued...good luck to you. Luv A My life is boring right now...No parties...handing out chips (candy is bad for their teeth...sodium they can live with) and writing my paranormal. I recently had a paranormal experience meeting an ex student who saw me on tv...remembered my voice and said I looked the same as in 1980. He see's auras and even as a child saw mine, which he said is fantastic. I decided to meet him and have him tell me more.

It's nice to meet you as well. I always enjoy meeting other writers and people who like to read on MySpace. If I can find your book at my library, I'll read it. If not, I shall probably order a copy, as it seems quite intriguing to me.
You're welcome! It's always nice to meet someone who also enjoys reading and writing. If my library has your books, I'll add them to my reading list and start reading them soon.
Muchas gracias John por tus palabras, es un auténtico placer para nosotros tenerte entre nuestros amigos. Un saludo grande desde Madrid, hasta pronto amigo!.
