Thanks so much Deb for including my book Reflections of a Mississippi Magnolia on your "Books To Be Read" list I am honored!
I know that you will love it! It is an uplifting, feel-good,heartwarming sort of read.
There are so many negative connotations associated with Mississippi and the south in general. In my book, I attempt to give a positive glimpse into the southern way of life.

What a compliment and an honor to be chosen as one of Simply Said's "Best Reads" for 2008. Mismatched has been a great starting point for my writing. I feel blessed to be included on this list with many talented veteran and new writers. Thanks again for embracing a story that is a "little different" LOL!

I am honored to have Double Platinum listed as one of your best reads of 2008. It really means a lot coming from you because I know you're an avid reader and could have chosen any other book for the list, but chose mine.
I hope your new year is off to a great start. Mine sure is :)
Debra what an awesome list! I see several of my favorite authors here too. You are really in touch with quality literature. Keep up the good work.

Patricia, Yes I did get your book and it's as charming as you are. It was a lovely trip down south and I could smell the magnolias as I read your poems.My family is from Kentucy, so I strongly identified with the tone, simplicity and favor.
Great Job!! You have made the BEST READ Poet List!
