I am indeed stronger now than I was back then. Twenty years will allow you to look back and say - What was I thinking? But, I made it. I hope you enjoy Passage. I'm sure your thinking.. Well, this is different.

They say pitfalls make us stronger and you dealt with it(them) as a mighty warrior would and came out stronger, better off and now you're on a roll. Haven't finished Passage yet but am enjoying it very much and will hopefully resume my reading SOON. So happy your life is full of happiness, love and now much success in your writing career. Wishing you the best.

So glad to have you as a writer friend. <br />Everyone needs to read your first book, Passage because as a friend who has had a peek at the continuation--book 2 Prophecy, I want to tell every paranormal reader in the world, It's mind blowing good. Can't wait for it's release. C, A.

I stayed longer than I should have. If I hadn't had children, I might still be in that troubled marriage. It was for their sake I walked away. Even after I left, it took quite a while to realize that the relationship was over forever and my HEA wasn't going to happen. Lack of money for school clothes and food was a constant worry in Denver. Moving to Texas, and getting an education on my own became the best of all the bad choices. <br /><br />Gosh, I've been here 20 years this summer Those first few years were lonely and hard, but since it was just me and my sons, we became very close - and still are today. <br /><br />I eventually met my new husband, and we've been together for 15 years. Looking back, this move forced me to be who I should have been all along. It was hard, but it was the right thing to do. I bloomed. Thanks for reading my story, Sarah. Much love back to you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06378090146801861924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-25487749689047620022015-05-22T08:49:01.574-07:002015-05-22T08:49:01.574-07:00Divorce isn't something any of us ever thought...Divorce isn't something any of us ever thought we would end up experiencing. When it happens, it is devastating especially if you have children. I commend you for knowing when to let go of something hurtful and taking action. Moving to Texas was certainly a brave move since it took you away from friends and family that would be your support. <br />I am so happy for you that, after all your trials and setbacks, you triumphed and here you are, an author fulfilling a dream.<br />May you continue to enjoy a good life with success, happiness and love.Sarah J.

Sometimes you don't make your life...Hi Celia. <br /><br />Sometimes you don't make your life choices willingly. Moving to Texas and going to school was the only light at the end of a very long, very poor tunnel. I had one child in preschool, and one in Middle School. My oldest son was not happy with the move. To this day, he wonders how different his life would have been had he grown up in Denver. My youngest thinks he's a Texan. They both moved to Chicago. If I could afford to move again, I would go there. I have grand-babies that need spoiling!<br /><br />The cover's are great, for both P1 and P2. Livia does a fantastic job. I'm very pleased.

Probably, I would never have been so brave and bold. Your life story is fascinating. I see you've won awards--I congratulate you on those, for sure! The cover for your new book is outstanding. I know you've landed in a good place with PRP.

I'm finally able to do something for myself, and that is write. I remember when I had first left home, and shared an apartment with my best friend, she wanted to get married and become "Susie Homemaker." I wanted to go to New York and be a writer. Then life got in the way. I'm a long way from New York, but I've finally achieved the moniker of Published Author. I'm very proud. Thank you for believing in my stories. You're the best!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06378090146801861924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787196793070180268.post-70230288016525652222015-05-22T06:51:18.851-07:002015-05-22T06:51:18.851-07:00Well, Connie, I have to say that WAS fearless of y...Well, Connie, I have to say that WAS fearless of you! I don't know if I could have done it--but it's said that we do what we must, and you sure did. We do for our kids what we might not ever do for ourselves, don't we? I'm so, so glad you sent Passage my way! I'm looking forward to the other 2 books in this trilogy and I love the short stories you write that go along with these characters. Wonderful stuff. It pays to follow your dreams! I really admire you.<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
