I'm back home now and have a suitcase full of washing to do, :( and then I will be writing again. Missed you all, (a little!!!) Hugs to everyone. xxxxx

sandramitchell: Just a thought, not that I am leaving, but, when members do leave and their portfolio's are removed, does that mean the works registration is too? Would that mean it is no longer protected? I am definitely NOT leaving, but it would be nice to know.

sandramitchell: I want to wish all of my FanStorian friends and Tom a very happy Christmas and a happy and healthy 2016. Also, I would like to thank everyone for their wonderful support and prayers that helped me through my painful knee problems. You are the BEST! Love you all.

sandramitchell: My new book is out now! The ABC for children, it's called Amazing Animal AlphaRhymes. The one in my profile is for the older children with lots more interesting facts about each animal, but there is also another one for younger children which is just the pictures with the rhyme underneath. Now to start the promotion, that will give me something to focus on next year. I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who helped me with this book, your input was brilliant. Big hugs to you all. :) xsx Sandra

sandramitchell: I have just come home from the hospital and they do not have the results through of my biopsy. Needless to say, I am a little upset. I won't be seeing the consultant again until the 22nd December unless he needs to see me before. I am trying to cut down on some of my medication as they are making me feel giddy and sick. Other than that, everything is fine. I'm going to start writing again, just some children's poems, but they might help get the brain working again. That's it for now, thank you, everyone, for being so kind over the last few weeks. I have really appreciated it. xxxx

sandramitchell: Thank you to everyone who voted for my 'Puppy Love' contest entry!! And also to everyone who read and reviewed it, I was so delighted to see it won the contest when there were so many brilliant entries! THANK YOU!!

sandramitchell: Can anyone tell me what 'Readers Pick' is about? I have only been on Fanstory 4 years, so forgive my ignorance! :(

sandramitchell: Hi, I wanted to share my elation with you all. Over the last few weeks, I have been invited to several schools to sell my children's book at their summer fetes. I was a bit nervous, supposing no one bought one? Supposing I fell flat on my face and looked a fool? So far I have done three school fetes and have sold 52 books! All wanted them signed and I came away walking on a cloud. I have five more to go to! Not only that, I have been booked to read my Christmas story and sell my books at their Christmas School Fayres. What is the nicest part, the Hedgerow Capers series of books, (5 now) is being read in the homes of people I don't know and enjoyed by children I don't know. That is such a wonderful feeling.

sandramitchell: Yayyyy, I am back with classic FS!!!!

FanStory wrote to sandramitchell: Congratulations! The Chimney Sweep Boy is the new Poem of the Month!

sandramitchell: Hi everyone, I am so sorry I haven't been reviewing much lately, in fact hardly at all. The hundreds of pills I am popping to stop the pain from my knee replacement operation, is leaving my brain in a fog. Ok, not much different then, but honestly, I just need some time. I will get to you all. xxxx

sandramitchell: Still no news on Nancy, I'm afraid. I have sent messages to her daughter, but so far haven't heard back. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Has anyone heard anything about Pam/Gungalo?

sandramitchell: Hi everyone. I have to ask you all to please pray for our dear friend Nancy, Honeycomb, she is seriously ill in hospital with pneumonia, they have also found a blockage to her heart and her daughter got in touch with me to ask if you would all please pray for her. Worrying time for her and her family. She is such a lovely lady and believes totally in the power of prayer. Thank you all so much.

sandramitchell: I have just been reading that double spacing after a full stop, (period) is no longer acceptable from publishers. I do it automatically, anyone got any thoughts on this? Has anyone heard about it?

sandramitchell: The sun is shining, it's lovely and warm. Hope you all have a wonderful Easter. xsx Sandra :)

sandramitchell: I want to thank everyone on FanStory for their kind prayers and thoughts during my sad time. You are all wonderful people. I want to ask for your patience a little longer, I will be so busy arranging my mum's funeral and sorting out her things I won't have much time for reviewing. God bless all of you. Sandra. xsx

sandramitchell: Hi everyone. Just to let you know I am still around but not coping very well. I can't write or do much of anything. My mother is in a sort of no-mans-land, neither in this world or the next. She is asleep most of the time, which I am grateful for. It breaks my heart to see her like this and not be able to help her. xsx

sandramitchell: I am sort of in shock at the moment. Just over 800 kindle copies of my Hedgerow story,
'The Day Before Christmas Eve' were sold in December! To think that all those people bought it for their children, it is mind blowing! All you lovely people who helped me, I can't thank you enough, and Brooke, your SPAGS class, well I can definitely recommend you, you are an amazing teacher. Thank you!

sandramitchell: Well my knee replacement didn't happen! Why? Because I gashed my other leg and they said I would be too susceptible to bugs crawling in and that would not be nice. so key-hole surgery trimming off more bone and cutting away damaged cartilage was done and here I am back home on crutches!! Has anyone else had as wonderful a week-end as me???

sandramitchell: What a difference a few hours can make, the doctors have told me there is a little improvement in my mother! AND I AM A GRANDMOTHER AGAIN!!!! A BIG 9LB BABY GIRL!!! Perhaps things will be better from now on.

sandramitchell: Hi everyone, just wanted to say sorry for not reviewing much lately, I can't leave my mother alone in hospital for long. She needs me a lot more than anyone else at the moment. I will pop in now and then but I am getting very tired. I hope to be back in full flow soon. xsx

sandramitchell: I WANT TO ASK FOR EVERYONE'S HELP!!
Some of you are fans of my friend, Sue, her FS name is 'wordsfromsue' She is very, very poorly in hospital with lots of huge blood clots, and, in her own words, a starship size clot on her lung. She needs as many people as she can get to pray for her, the power of prayer is often stronger than medication. So, please, everyone, please pray for her.

sandramitchell: Hi everyone, I'm almost back!! Now in our English home, but still undoing boxes, where did they all come from?!! I seem to have damaged my knee in the move, how? I don't know, but it is most likely I will be having a new knee in the very distant future! I have missed you all, and can't wait to start writing and reviewing properly again, I will make a start, but you have all been using your keyboard fingers in a frenzy!!!!

sandramitchell: We have at last sold our house! Everything is going through nicely. Nerve racking at first it's so different here, so many houses are illegal and are being demolished. Any way, we leave Spain on the 15th June!! I get to see my family and my grandchildren and my mum whenever I want to now! YAY!! One probem I am having is keeping up with reviews, pleased forgive if I miss some, I will try and keep up. Love you all! xsx

sandramitchell: A friend of mine who sent a copy of my book to his daughter told me she is dyslexic and has trouble reading to her own little daughter. She has just phoned her father to tell him she could read my poetry stories, Hedgerow Capers to her without any problems at all! How brilliant is that? She said it was the set rhyme that helped her. If I never sell another book, I will at least know, it has helped one person to read to her daughter. So chuffed!!

sandramitchell: A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

sandramitchell: Hi everyone, my book, Hedgerow Capers is now available to order on Amazon in America!

sandramitchell: HEDGEROW CAPERS

Hi all, I can't seem to get my book on my profile properly, it comes up out of print, which it isn't! Tom has told me he can't help, it is a problem with Amazon. My book IS on Amazon with the correct details on it. I have had an amazing week reading to little chidren in their schools, and doing book signings in Waterstones Books Shops. I am so sorry about my reviewing, I have loads to catch up on, but I will!!

sandramitchell: I have just done my first book reading in Romsey infants school, 60 little smiling faces looking up at me, asking me lots of really good questions, like, 'when were you born!!!' It was amazing though. I have 2 more on Thursday and I am over the moon!! Two book signings this week, and the papers are coming to inteview me!!! My week of fame and fortune, (don't know about the fortune!!) This is so exciting, I just had to share it with you all.

sandramitchell: Hi everyone, I am so excited, I now have two book signings for Waterstones Bookstores, one in Southampton and one in Portsmouth!! And I have been booked to do readings in three schools, my nerves are going ballistic!! Had to come and tell you all, I will start doing some reviewing soon, love you all! xsx
