Congratulations on your new venture. Liked reading your story about the "meet the author" night. So glad that it was an exciting night for you. You are having wonderful results.

I have to comment about writing romance and getting into the intimate parts of a story. I can remember when I first started writing, I had a person say to me, "you didn't write anything embarrassing, did you?" Yes, it was a close family member. I had kept the bedroom scenes to the imagination only. Which made me feel so much better in writing. I can see where you are coming from. Proud of you and your writing.

    My mom reads my writing. I don't want to be embarrassed if my pastor or any of my granddaughters read my work. LOL Thank you for the support.

Why does anyone become offended if your stories are wholesome? If it's not your thing, don't read it! Why would anyone be put off about you informing of this? I'm thrilled that you have this opportunity and it has kicked my butt in gear to get back to looking for places for my short stories.

Just keep doing what you're doing - you're doing great! And have fun with it:-)

    You're a great author. Get busy and write. LOL Thank you for the support. My reviewer that gets after me, says I'm out of touch with the real world and nobody will read me.

    Well, it sounds like THEY ARE reading you, lol:-)

You don't know how proud I am of you, Barbara. I've been a fan of yours since you started Fanstory ... what, close to 20 years ago? I believe I've reviewed three or four of your complete novels ... and each has grown in complexity and writing know-how over the previous. You deserve your success.

I prayed for you yesterday. I am so happy that your meeting turned out so well. And I am glad others appreciate the way you write -" I was pleased at the number of people who came to me and commented they were happy to hear that I stick to my beliefs about writing clean, family friendly romances." I read a lot of Kindle Unlimited fiction, and only choose writers who feel this way. Keep doing what you are doing.

This is wonderful, Barbara. I'm so happy for you. You are starting to get a lot of recognition as a writer. I'm so glad you keep your writing clean. It is hard to find that kind of writing these days and there are a lot of us who would prefer to read this rather than most of the trash that is out there. I remember taking a college writing course and being criticized for not putting in a lot of four letter words. They said I wasn't living in the real world.

Glad to hear the evening went so well. There is definitely a market for the type of romance you write. If there are naysayers, point them to the success of the Mary Higgins Clark novels. I'm glad this appearance has led to another one coming up in August. The newspaper coverage will also give you a boost. Congratulations on your success. judi
