I think the RevLa is one of the nicest people I have met here at SheWrites.  What a genuine, loving and supportive person she is.  I am so pleased she is my friend.

Thank you! I'm now looking forward to the next one. I have two books in the editing (rewrite) phase. I'm sure your ministry network is coming along well and I wish you much success. And I know you are excited about the ebook. Can't wait to see it finished.

Good Morning Rev. LaWaughn Rouse,

 

Just stopping by and saying hi.

You are featured in my latest post Revla at the usual address:

Thanks for your kind response. In the "real life" I am a Signalling Engineer and i can drive trains, so don't worry about how you write, I believe it must come from within. Nothing to do with schools! I look forward to reading more from you.

I was raised Catholic. Went to Catholic school for third, fourth and fifth grade. I learned to read at an early age and could read an entire book by the time I was six. In those days, in Catholic school, one was punished for being ahead of the class. It took me a long time to get over that message. I think it's important to question authority if that authority goes against what you believe. If you're raised by parents who have given you independence and the ability to stand up for yourself, that should never die or grow complacent. Now I wonder if maybe those same people have grown tired of protesting, tired of standing up for people who may or may not want them there. I watch my granddaughter struggle with school, friends and her parents. At times she seems ready to take on the world. Other times, she simply hides her head in the sand. The best I can do is provide an example.

Nice to know anyone can still call themselves radical. I grew up in the turbulent sixties. I remember the protests. What I wonder is where are these people now? Have they given up their individuality? Are they quiet simply because they were loud and raucous then. As I writer, I use those radical times to give my characters depth and a desire to see their lives change in better ways. Today, I see so many of us go quietly into the night with nary a protest nor a hint of discomfort. None of my characters would do that.

 

I send a silent prayer for the people of Japan. I hope they get the help they need to heal.

Sorry I'm so late in responding. That photo, a glamor shot, was taken a few years ago by a photographer who believe it should grace the back of my books. I however, want one of me in jeans and t-shirt on the beach, my hair ruffled by the wind, hugging my dog. A better representative of who I am.

Erotic Knights is almost finished. First, however, I plan to put Deadly Vibrations on Amazon in Early April.

Hi there, it's great to meet you! So glad you joined the group!
