About me:


Hi, I'm Vanessa, aka VeeJay and I'm the author of, When Death Comes a Knockin', a self-help, insipriation book about loss and grief, which was self-published in March 2005. The book is available for purchase at www.lulu.com/vanessaajohnson, or from me by directly emailing me at vjohns1@bellsouth.net. I'm currently at work on books #2, Sacrifices In The Name of Love, and #3, Tempted By Love. A synopsis for both are posted on the site. Please check them out when you get a chance and let me know what you think. You can also learn more about me by visiting my web site at www.vanessaajohnson.com.

Who I'd like to meet:


William "Smokey" Robinson tops my list. I've been a fan since, well...since "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud" days....I suppose I'm telling my age, huh? It's okay, I'm quite proud of that too. Of course, I'd love to meet many of the writers and readers I've met in many on-line writing groups, as well as my future agent and publisher.

    Prayer For A Friend
    ----------------------

    I sent a prayer to God today
    Because you are a friend.
    I asked that He bring your problems
    Abruptly to an end.


    I prayed for resolution,
    And for all your trials to cease.
    But most of all, oh friend of mine,
    I asked for God to bring you peace.
