I am an author from NY and your a disgrace to your own kind. Authors like you hide behind closed doors and photos like your profile picture and get a kick out of leaving childish and uneducated comments when you have the slightest idea. There is a term called "wallflower." My advice to you is to continue in your slate cottage and hide from society. Very poorly written books by the way, especially your first novel "Roses in December." Poor grammar and the editing my gosh, my grand daughter can edit better.

Then it can be problematic to get back up to speed. We've been assured, by people who should know, that this happens throughout Europe. Obviously the consumer can't win!
