Hi Lucinda - I just realized I hadn't responded to you - so sorry! I don't know how I missed the note.
To answer your question, I have not heard of Jenny Pitman, but just checked her out and am very interested. Hope to see you around, and I promise I won't be so rude again! -Valerie
Great to "meet" you, and look forward to seeing you around. :)
Thanks for the friends request, Valerie. I hope we'll have many great discussions too. :) Happy to be the first at anything. hehe.

I found the information for the author program. I just had to read the microscopic print at the bottom of my home page. Thank you for telling me about it!
Yes, and I'm trying to figure out some glitches, for example, there are 4 reviews listed on my profile for books I haven't read ??? I concur with your thought on the helfpul nature of many in the writing community, and blogged on the same subject not long ago (http://believinginhorses.com/blog/cat...). I don't get paid for "hits;" just wanted to share. Take care.
