  5. Hey if you could see the bag of projects down beside my chair you would laugh… Not to mention all my WIP on the old pc…xx

  6. Love the Bridget comment but only smarter funnier and cooler. 🙂

  7. Hey Vic it’s wilsollllll. I have just finished reading The Servants by M. M. Smith. Although it may not be to your taste as it is a fantasy novel, but it is a remarkable book dealing the issues of an 11 year old boy whose parents have split up. He has been torn away from his father and all that is familiar, to live with his mother and stepfather in a place with memories for his original family. It is a great read even for those that don’t read the fantasy genre, as it deals with a lot of emotions. If you get a chance give it a go xx

  8. I have heard about a Victoria Watson who sells short stories on Amazon at 99c each, and I am curious to know more about these stories and where I can find them, if you are indeed this same Victoria Watson. Thank you.
