Growing up (my grandmother raised me most of the time) my mom always had an excuse for why she didn't show up for something, or why she didn't do something she promised she'd do. Your book was beautifully written Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212962875627421803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-17385310537906584802015-08-23T05:19:53.582-07:002015-08-23T05:19:53.582-07:00Good luck to you, Karen!

I do tend to write darker adult stories and funny YA - go figure ;) I like the idea of using a light touch with deep issues. I'm writing a Heartwarming story with teens in it and there's lots of laughs so maybe I'll finally get that balance :) CongratulationsKaren Rockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03621736343432643472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-11203500113449339872015-08-22T19:03:26.046-07:002015-08-22T19:03:26.046-07:00Mel, I love your Harmony Valley and can't wait...Mel, I love your Harmony Valley and can't wait to read this one!
