Hi Cyndi, that's great. I'd love to meet you in person. I'll be at Big Sleep at 1pm on Oct. 21. Do you know the store? Helen Simpson, who owns it, is a great, fun, interesting person. She's also a huge Cardinals fan. I think I managed to get her permanently on my side when I showed up the first time for a signing and brought along tickets to that afternoon's Cards vs Cubs game. So what if it was 103 degrees and humid. It was a good game.

Hi Cyndi. Thanks for the invite. Do you live in St. Louis or Ironton - or is that where you're from? I'll be in St. Louis at Big Sleep Books on Sunday October 21. It's a great little bookshop, and I'm rather fond of St. Louis in general.

Cyndi, I couldn't find an icon that said accept, so I want to you to know I am honored to accept you as a friend and hope you will read my book, after it comes out in March. Keep in touch.
Michael

Hi Cyndi!

Thanks for the invite. Nice to meet you!

Sounds like we're neighbors in Missouri so maybe we'll get to meet one of these days. In fact, I'm having a book signing in Cape on August 23 3-5, if that's close to you. Can't remember exactly how far from your town, but I remember those Elephant Rocks!! ; )

I just sent in a book that deals with beauty pageants and psycho killers--don't mean to make you nervous or anything, though. :D

Best to you and yours,
Linda Ladd

Thanks for the invite, Cyndi! Sounds like being the mom of a teenage beauty queen (though you look *way* too young!) would provide suspense and mystery a'plenty! :)

Thanks for being what writers love above all else--a great reader!!

Take care, and good luck with the next pageant!

Kelli

HELLO and thanks for the invite. Working Mom of a teenage beauty queen? I just glanced at your age, what do you eat? you look like you're twenty. i'm depressed now. seriously. hello to you from England. all the best.

Hello, reader. Boy, do I love readers. Otherwise my words just languish on the page. And, I dearly love mystery buffs since my books are called mysteries. Great to have you here. www.jdwebb.com for sample chapters.

Goodto meet a mystery reader; perhaps when the teenage beuaty queen goes off to college you can write. That's what I did. My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria.

Thanks for the invite. And I'd just like to add, as any gentleman surely would (Twining clearly misses out in that respect!), that you cannot possibly be old enough to be the mother of a teenager, and if she's a beauty queen it's obvious where she got her looks.

Cheesy? Perhaps. But there's a lot to be said for the occasional nibble in the middle of a busy day ...

Thanks for the add Cyndi - never known the mom of a real life beauty queen before!!

Thanks for the friend request, Cyndi!

Thanks for the add! What title does your teenage beauty queen hold??
