Thanks for dropping in and enjoy the rest of the day.. Sally
Wonderful selection, Sally. I love the smiling faces and, of course, their blogs. But I was entranced reading Lisette’s interview with you. Few people inspire me as you do, Sally. You’ve embraced life, rough spots and all, and in so doing, you’ve created a masterpiece. We are all richly blessed to know you. ❤️

Sally, thank you so much for sharing Judith’s review, I really appreciate it. It’s strange having an audio book out there. Very different to opening the box of books on publication day. I’m in wonderful company here, there are some marvellous reviews. Best wishes, Jan.

It takes a bit of time Jan but you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. If you interact with others such as Judith and other people who know it will happen. And many of us are on Facebook and prefer to work in groups and I can suggest if you are not already a member joining The Literary Divas as that is a very generous and supportive group of writers and of course naturally readers.. xx
