Hi Christine,

Welcome to TNBW! It's a great place to be, with plenty of people willing to help you out.

Randy

I guess it's balmy here on Lake Huron on the east side of Michigan.:) Had about four inches of lake effect snow, with some drifting over a foot. The temperature is mild at 13F/-10C, with tonight dropping to 5F/-15C (not including the wind chill). Another 2-4 inches of snow expected by 10 a.m. Oh joy!

Well said, JP!

I admit I don't spend much time in the groups--I'm just too busy with reviewing, writing, and editing.

I agree with posting in groups which pay points since we all need points to post our own work. Not sure why some of the new folks seem to disappear. Did their friends and family tell them what great writers they are, which might different from what reviews say? The reviews are a fantastic way to improve one's writing.

Back to editing.:)

Hey Randy, if you're moving to Scotland will you start spelling colour with a u like it should be, and metres (not meters) instead of yards, but you should still be able to buy pints of beer.
cheers

LOL smile No, I'll still spell things as I do now, unless I end up with as British publisher.:)

Hey, I just added Spirits' Desire in the Other novel category

Hi Janet,  Just voted for Spirits' Desire. Good luck!

Hey, Randy, check  your entry. It's listed 3 times. Makes a vote hard.

I informed them about this. Doesn't seem to be an issue as it tallies to a single one.

Hi Matthew, 

Yes, that was a photo of me at Niagara Falls (1985), but I'm from Michigan. Once we sell our house on Lake Huron, my wife, Sylvia, and I will be moving to Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. Sylvia is from the Kingdom of Fife as it's still referred to today. Many Scottish monarchs were crowned in Fife.

Regards, Randy
