  2. I enjoyed your story--"Relationships"--especially the surprise at the end. A friend of mine wrote a book about a teen boy whose girlfriend gets pregnant, but that tale has a much different ending. The book is entitled The Lie and the author is Lori Pollard-Johnson.
    FYI: I found you through Goodreads' Women's Fiction Author Discussion "Let's Share Blogs."

    1. Thanks for reading Relationshps, Sandy. Reading the story again to put up on my websites, I thought it maybe a little dated for today's teens but that's how it was when I wrote it. I put a comment on your blog.

  3. Hi Laurel,
    I think I'll have to join Women's Fiction Author Discussion too. But unlike you I'm not such a prolific or generous writer. Your free reads are awesome. You have a cover with the title for this book don't you? ;)

    Hi Peggy and Sandy,
    Lovely to see you here.
