Welcome Samantha, it is a pleasure. I'm thrilled you get to follow your passion and also to share your legacy with others. I wish you and your husband continued success. Doris
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm thrilled to be here. I have a lot to share, and I can be long-winded sometimes :)
DeleteWelcome Samantha! Wow--what a resume you have! I look forward to your posts here at Sweet Americana Sweethearts and getting to know you better.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm excited to share all I can :)
DeleteWelcome Samantha. Wow over a 100 books. That is impressive. It must be fun married to a writer, too. Although, I can see that could have some funny moments.
ReplyDeleteThank you. My husband wasn't a writer until recently when God decided to change his employment. He was a UPS driver for over 20 years, and an injury to his elbow that caused nerve damage forced him into early retirement. That's when I encouraged him to start putting down the many stories he would tell to make me laugh down on the page and make them books. God gave him a second chance career. He has a real calling for writing children's books, and it is a lot of fun brain-storming stories with him. The best part is, he's very supportive of the hours I spend writing :)
