Thanks for inviting us onto your site, DeNita! Thanks to everyone who stopped by, too- we look forward to chatting with you! We wanted to showcase our writing talents in a way that offered readers a chance to get to know our different writing styles and 'Loose Ends' was born. The response has been unbelievable! We are already planning to write another volume.

We hope you enjoy our new venture together with publishing our short stories. It gives you a chance to see how we write our memoirs, fantasy, poetry and mysteries.
ReplyDeleteThere are also excerpts from every one of our books so you can decide if you want to purchase our other books.
A few of us were already author friends and met the others at a book signing at the Lakeville Public Library in Lakeville, MA. We started an event to send our books off to the armed forces and grew from there.
We now book sign, do workshops, speaking engagements, festivals and events at schools or any location wanting our services.
We are so pleased with our book cover from self-publising with Infinity Publishing (www.infinitypublishing.com). They designed the cover. The book and our others are at their book site www.buybooksontheweb.com.
ReplyDeleteI want to mention: we will be offering other authors and their books to be featured on our website. Visit the site at www.awb6.com.
ReplyDeletecongrats!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Ann, we hope you'll enjoy them. This is the first (but not the last) time we've collaborated in this way. We each have very different styles--and that, we think, is a good thing for the reader.

Hi Valerie,
ReplyDeletePat is also from Germany. Her stories are fantasy. Three great books! You won't be able to put them down. I keep telling her, maybe...just maybe, they will become a movie.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your lovely comments. We appreciate them all.
ReplyDelete(A excerpt form a poem called TRUTH)
Truth is always the same
it doesn't change.
Tell the truth even if
it gains you no fame.
(by Willie Pleasants)
