Thank you so much, Ulla. I think The Return is one of my favourites, but the Trilogy will always hold top spot as it has a special place in my heart being the first novels I've ever written. Thank you for all the support you've given me over the years, my friend. :)) Love and hugs, Sandra xx ps. what do you think of the cover? xx

reply by Ulla on 15-Mar-2023

I like the cover a lot. The Image of the face seen in reverse but fading is just brilliant. xxx

reply by the author on 15-Mar-2023

I thought that, too. Thanks, Ulla, I'm glad you liked it. Love and hugs. xxx

The return ... is that the one with Meg and Margo? That should do very well on Amazon. Did you go for soft cover as well as electronic? You are so smart to grow within a genre there. All it takes is to have someone fall in love with one of your books to have them scurry around looking for more of the same drug! I am so proud of you, Sandra.

Hi Jay, yes, that's the one. It seems most of my books are time-travelling, even the four I wrote for my (then 12 years-old) young grandson. (He's 15 now) I do enjoy writing and researching the era's I go to. It's fun. Thank you so much for this really lovely comments, you always make me blush! :)) You've been such a help throughout my writing, and I do appreciate you a lot. Thanks, my dear friend. Love and hugs.

Aw, thank you, Helen, that is so nice of you. I have to admit I was ready to give it up at times where I felt so tired and washed out. But heck, I wasn't sure I was going to win that last battle and I didn't want it left hanging. I felt sorry for Bob, Mastery, he passed before he'd finished his last book. It does give you the impetus to push yourself. Thanks so much for ordering a copy. I'm waiting for your next copy of Life on Planet XZ to go with the first one I have. :))
Thank you again, my friend. Love and hugs. Sandra xx

I'm still on a high, Alie, when I received my copies, I was like, trying to slow my thumping heart! Lol. Thank you for the sixth star, that is really nice of you. I'm glad you liked the cover. Thank you, my dear friend. Warm hugs, Sandra xx

You are so welcome, Sandra.

Congratulations, Sandra. I'm so happy for you that your book has been published.

The advice you give the new writers is excellent. No one wants to hear their baby being criticized, but the fact of the matter is that it's not being criticized. Rather, it's being improved. You wouldn't be offended by the hairdresser cutting your baby's hair. It's still your baby, just slightly improved.

So, Sandra, enjoy your success and, to anyone else reading her advice, follow it and let it help you to achieve your own success.

You're very welcome, Sandra. I can't tell you how reviewers like Nancy E. Davis and Gloria have helped me improve my writing through their comments, for which I am eternally grateful.

Congratulations on this book being published!!! I will purchase and add it to my collection of your novels. I agree every time I pick up one of my books, I find something that needs to be changed. I doubt they are ever perfect.
