Thanks for friending me, Jill!

I may take you up on the offer

I wrote my story in http://killmenow.org/iuniverse/

Basically, they are under-declaring my sales in a big way. I am not going to go into detail here, but I have a few authors on board with similar stories.

Thanks for the welcome. My book, "Kill Me Now", provides a humorous look on the world of dating. 

I very unfortunately chose to publish via iUniverse and I am now redoing it to totally self-publish 

Thank you for the welcome, Jill. LOST SISTER, my novel, concerns childhood sexual abuse and I am now reading through your archives and following your blog. I appreciate your point of view and your sensitivity.

Thanks again, Jean

Thanks, Jill. Still learning the ropes.

Thanks for the welcome, Jill!

Thanks so much for the warm welcome, Jill.  I believe I interviewed you on my radio show a few years ago - about your marvelous book.  Looking forward to learning more about She Writes!

Thanks for welcoming me! Still finding my way around.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to have joined such an active group. And, I look forward to growing stronger as a writer and helping others in the same pursuit.

Thanks so much! Would love to hear your thoughts as I post more of my story. I was raised in a Fundamentalist Christian family, my father was a Baptist pastor at the time, and I'm starting to process how my family handled, or didn't handle, my situation...

Thanks, Jill, for your welcome. I'm impressed with your profession and with your cause - keeping children safe from predators!

A novel I am working on involves a rape (of a young adult woman, not a child). I hope I can contact you when I have legal questions, particularly relating to rape prosecution.

Thanks again!

Hi, Jill.  Thanks for the warm welcome.  I share your interests, based on the profile below.  Did you read "the Language of Flowers"  by Diffenbach?  How about "ComeBack" by claire and mia fontaine?  Those are two I've read since 1-1-12 you might find interesting.  My oldest daughter graduated from NYU in social work and art history and now is a law student at arizona state with an interest in prosecuting child related crimes with either the AG or county attorney.  Sounds like we have a lot in common! 

thanks. this should prove an interesting adventure. The writing and achievment bar is high, but I enjoy a challenge. All the best

Thank you for your generous welcome, Jill.

First, I feel so strongly about the work that you do in the court room and as the author or My Body Belongs to Me. I was sexually abused by both of my adoptive parents. I tried to tell a policeofficer once when I was picked up as a run away. When my parents came to the police station they spoke privately with the police officer - when I entered the room the officer asked me "How could you say such awful things about these wonderful people" - that was in the 1970's. Although there is more awareness now, I wonder if the same might happen today when afluent parents who are articulate and charming are the ones accused.

I wonder if your book might be good to use in schools? If the parents are the ones doing the abusing it's not likely that this book would ever be read to them.

As for me here on She Writes - I feel a bit tentative with so many sucessfull authors hanging around! Currently I am working with a writing coach to develop my creative non-fiction muscles and editing  my poetry and looking for those that I can run a thread through to fit into a collection.

Your welcome makes me feel like I'm not lost in a crowd!

Thanks again!

Thanks for the welcome Jill. I find it ironic you would contact me. At  some point in my blog I will "unlock the door" to the silence of being a survivor of clergy abuse. I feel I have to get credibility with my readers first before I do that.  The words are ready and waiting. I just have to feel the time is right. You are to praised for your work!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Jill. I applaud your efforts to educate and empower in the face of such atrocities. I hope to be able to network with you! 

Jill, thanks for the welcome and for the hard work that your writing does.
