Marisel Vera said… Hi Linda,
Nice to meet you! I'm excited to read your blog posts. I love all things historical and you have such an exciting family history. Lucky you. I don't have a single historical thing from my own family except for a short note my grandfather wrote me when I was 18 wishing me Happy Birthday. Am packing my son for college now but after next wk, I'll have more time to get to know you.
Saludos,
Marisel

Hi Linda,
I thought you might be interested in the children's book I wrote called My Body Belongs to Me. It is intended to prevent child sexual abuse by teaching 3-8 year olds their bodies are private. Please let me know your thoughts when you have some time.

Caitlin White said… Hi Linda,
I actually started school as a novelist, and ended up now way more focused on memoir! I'm working on a collection of short memoir essays about growing up with heart disease (though it's not as downer as it may seem!). I haven't been using SheWrites (as you can see from the misinformed groups), but I'm looking forward to sharing!
Thanks for the hello,Caitlin

Cathy Kozak said… - Thanks so much Linda. Indeed as writers we recreate life through the self-made lens of our own particular glasses and I thrill to show the world what I perceive, rather than tell them. I look forward to reading more of your work
