mfowler: Hi Readers
My novel, 'Valerie: Through the Looking Glass', is nearly finished, but personal problems have seen me distracted from the writing journey. Hopefully, there'll be a new chapter soon.
Regards
Mark
    maggieadams: Dear Mark: I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year, so looked up your profile and found this message...I was wondering why I had not seen a post from you. I am so sorry and hope you are doing okay...I have been re-posting my memoir, and have reconnected with old friends on Fan Story...I miss our contact. Please take care and hope to hear from you soon. Yours, Peg/Maggie -
    mfowler: Hi Maggie
    Nice to get your note. I've been in hospital for seventy five days. Stroke! I'll try to catch up when Im well. This could take months. I'm home for a couple of days.

    I'm sorry but that's about all I can manage. Nice to read your letter.

    Gone but not forgotten: Congrats! I loved those winning ribbons! I'm writing to say farewell. I've had fun on FanStory for the past year, but honestly, I've spent way too much time on the site rather than doing more of what I do for real: writing for money! I've learned a lot and feel happy to have won a few contests along the way. I'm particularly happy with your comments, so wanted to say bye for now!
