I am a new author with my first book just released. My husband Marc and I have nine children. We combined our five biological children and adopted four more. A definite "Yours, mine and ours" family. We live in mid-coast Maine with the youngest two daughters which one will be starting college in just a few weeks. I can feel myself starting to breathe in the fresh air and actually smell our roses. Only one left! Wow, I can feel the urge to pat myself on the back, but wait,I won't do that because it will jinx me. I digress. Anyway, we have four adorable dogs, two golden retrievers, a cocker spaniel and a maltese. The first five children have given us a dozen grandchildren and it's a busy household when we all get together. My husband and I are looking forward to his retirement when we can hook up the camper, travel this beautiful country of ours,and to my writing (and publishing, of course)the great American novel.

Hi, Where in Maine? I'm in the Midcoast area. Advice on blogging? Hmm. Just write what's on your mind. Some will love it others won't but we can't please everyone. I think it's the starting that's hard. Once you get going usually the rest is easy. Good luck. I'll be reading what you write!

Hi Didz, I know it can be purchased from flipkart. Is that available where you are? I think you still have to type in the name of the book to be able to access it. Let me know please. I'm not familiar with flipkart at all.

I've recently visited your blog but haven't got times to comment on it. I'll do it soon :) The blond color is nice :) Looking forward to see the 'new you' in your blog. Hey, don't worry much about the pictures ok. Just do what's important in your life first, that one can come later. I can wait for it, no problem. Talk to you soon. Nice to hear from you again.
