  1. Hello!
    I just wrote my first Christian Fiction novel, Twicborn that is set in 16th century France at the the beautiful Palace of Versailles.
    Would it be possible for you to read the free chapter I have available on my website and email me with your feedback/suggestions?

  2. So I’m not sure if the reason you haven’t posted is that you’re having trouble with your wrists again, or that you’re busy, or you just don’t know what to post about, but if you have time and the ability, I tagged you with the Fantasy Life Lessons Tag, and I’d love to hear your answers. https://tpssarahlightshadows.wordpress.com/2017/02/16/friday-5s-fantasy-life-lessons/
