Personally, I think everything we write is for other people, that's the whole point.Kellie @ Delightfully Ludicroushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18226603919012169939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-5730073571577410312013-03-28T22:11:45.915-05:002013-03-28T22:11:45.915-05:00Michael:
I am sending you the fantastic new cover ...Michael:<br />I am sending you the fantastic new cover to THE THREE SPIRIT KNIGHT (Book 4 of THE LEGEND OF VICTOR STANDISH). Thank you so much for asking. :-)<br /><br />When my home burned to the ground, I was down to WIFI from the library, too. Always your friend, too.<br /><br />Heather:<br />If Alex weren't a friend, I probably would have taken a Challenge Hiatus, too! The ghost of Mark Twain is chortling. He can't wait for our friends to see his April Fool's post!<br /><br />D.G.:<br />My posts will be more than a 100. If folks leave, well, I and my ghostly friends will at least have fun. :-)<br /><br />Adriana:<br />Since Alex has made so many others' day, I hope I did at least make him smile. :-)<br /><br />Nutschell:<br />Like minds we are!<br /><br />Allison:<br />I'll be looking for you, too. I try to vary my posts: some serious, some funny, some about me, some about or by my ghost friends, and some just that occur to me out of the blue. :-)<br /><br />Cheree:<br />A wall of text just blunts my perceptions! I try at least to vary the size of certain phrases to ease the eye!<br /><br />Shelly:<br />I'll be looking for you -- as will my ghostly friends.<br /><br />Your blog is your cyber-home. Have fun with it, and those that visit will have fun, too. :-)Roland D.

We do need to feature something to help and to stimulate our readers to come back to our blogs!<br /><br />Now, Alex wrote me and said you have a new VICTOR book that would be PERFECT for my V a-z... I can't find it on your blog, so if you would be so kind and send me a pic and blurb I will feature it.... I am NOT taking NO for you answer, so I do expect to see it in my inbox soon.<br /><br />I hope all is well. I know I have been scarce, but with all the foray with the A-Z, doing critiques, and having limited wifi... you get the picture.<br /><br />Always you friend...<br /><br />MichaelMichael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-73629572424573711162013-03-28T10:06:02.922-05:002013-03-28T10:06:02.922-05:00Alex:

If you are wondering, it's a sure bet that others are, too. :-) Good to see you here. It's your cyber-home, redecorate if you want. RolandRoland D.
