As Anna writes in her roaring 20's novel, "You are all the bees knees!" Thank you for stopping by.<br /><br />Catherine, it is sad but unfortunately not as unusual as you may think. Statistics say 1 in 4 women are raped or molested in this country. In many families, rape is not discussed with others and often not reported because of the legal requirements to press a case. Some of my family members situations I didn't even know about until they were into their 40's and shared their story or their children's story.<br /><br />I believe I handled it sensitively in my book, but that is for readers to judge. As much as shining a light on the problem, I also wanted readers to know--and victims to know--that recovery is possible and each of us are more than our pasts. If we let the evil that is in our past dictate our happiness then evil wins. I wanted to be sure that didn't happen in my story, or in my personal life, or in the life of those I personally know who have been victims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-37641424515207730702013-01-21T21:50:23.496-05:002013-01-21T21:50:23.496-05:00Hi, Maggie!

So far, I've only managed to do the beginner step-by-step and some of the Activate DVD. I'm REALLY out of shape, so it's slow going. The best thing is you can stop and take a breather and then start up again at your own pace.<br /><br />Ingeborg and Ami, finding the time was a matter of desire. A lot of late nights and weekends where I did nothing but write. My plan was to build my readership while still working so that I could retire and have a built in income. I didn't quite make it to my planned retirement age, but I look at this time as a blessing in providing me FT writing while not quite of retirement age.<br /><br />MomJane, the story is sweet in the good triumphs over evil way, and the little girl. However, it is not sweet in the sexiness. So, if you are looking for a "no sex" story this wouldn't be for you.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for stopping by and commenting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8349236360110556646.post-56212521825637843072013-01-21T14:14:23.361-05:002013-01-21T14:14:23.361-05:00This story sounds sweet and sensitive.
