The camaraderie with like-minded ladies has been a real treat, and Ravished Before Sunrise sounds fun and intriguing. I'll definitely be buying a copy!

Fine, but that's not me. I joined and have learned SO MUCH, made BEST FRIENDS, and finally got my book published. <br /><br />Brendan, Bulldog, D'Ann - You all are wonderful.
