I established a relationship with him by email and had a nice dinner with him after the SinC meeting. When I asked if he would read my new book and give me a blurb if he thought it worthy, he immediately said send it on. I got a nice blurb for my cover.<BR/><BR/>And by the way Beth, you might check my blog Wednesday where I have tagged you with the happy thing. If you've already been through this, so be it. Have fun.Chester Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155257451021065218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-3628131012265108562009-01-27T20:33:00.000-07:002009-01-27T20:33:00.000-07:00Great ideas.

That worked well although we felt bad because we knew how little extra time he had to devote to this. We would never have asked if he hadn't been a close friend.<BR/><BR/>Sharon Reece<BR/>http://grandmaisawriter.blogspot.comSharon Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315316958986428740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-84157913986470798082009-01-27T12:46:00.000-07:002009-01-27T12:46:00.000-07:00This makes a lot of sense to me.This makes a lot of sense to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28839948.post-38553292148386984372009-01-27T11:20:00.000-07:002009-01-27T11:20:00.000-07:00Very wise tips!
