I can relate on strting to write at a certain time in our lives, and I'm praying each day that I can keep up with the technology and all the changes that are happening. Your back ground in social work and with Ken Copeland ministries sounds like a good area to draw upon. I love the time area that you write about. Tamera Alexander is one of my favorite writers and has written a lot on the west during the same time period. I do believe you will have a number of fans...it's a popular and well liked era. <br /><br />God's Blessings as you continue to enjoy this time and the work ahead.Diane Dean Whitehttp://www.dianedeanwhite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-40622394052304041582012-03-04T04:30:34.183-08:002012-03-04T04:30:34.183-08:00Ann, you always brighten my day when I see your vi...Ann, you always brighten my day when I see your visit here on Everyone's Story!!Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-38501335656259032212012-03-03T21:26:03.498-08:002012-03-03T21:26:03.498-08:00Thanks for the chance to win!
