Thanks for the friend request, which I was happy to accept.  FYI - I try not to spend lots of time on-line [at this or any other site] as I am trying to write and/or edit several manuscripts.  I do get posting notifications on my Blackberry and can answer thru it or come on-line to respond. If it's something that needs quick response, please mention it early in the message/comment.

Anyway, have a great rest of the day!

Holly, Belated welcome to the novelist group. If you haven’t done so already, you might introduce yourself by telling us what you’re working on in the “Show Me Your Novel and I’ll Show You Mine” discussion.

We do a live chat at 1 EST on the first Wednesdays of each month, with instructions on how to participate in the "Our Water Cooler" box near the top of the group page. And we save the wall for discussion, but welcome links to helpful blog posts on the “Links to Helpful Blog Posts for Writers” discussion thread and to published books in the “Our Published Novels” one.

I hope you’ll enjoy the group.

Novelist Group Moderator
Author of The Wednesday Sisters (a nationally bestselling writing group novel) and the forthcoming The Wednesday Daughters (Random House/Ballantine)
