Four Things About Me
Only Three are true. Can you guess which one is not true?

1. My best friend lives in California.
2. I was born in Tampa.
3. I have three grandchildren.
4. My first book was published in 2005

I awoke this morning, surprised that the inspiration for another layer to the book has developed. Awesome. Detailed discussions about the book will come after the publisher gives permission.

Amelia Hart and the case of Mr. Meanie's Candy Shoppe is complete! The Short Short Story version has been submitted to a writing contest by Writer's Digest. Check back for updates.
