Book Club Mom 
I think this is an interesting premise for a story, Barbara. I am often surprised at the amazing ideas writers have.
Hi Robbie – I agree and then to get the ideas published – that’s even more amazing. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Amazing. What a great word. Thanks so much. What do you write Roberta?
I write children’s books, horror and historical paranormal.
Great blog / author page, Roberta. I love the range of genres. I’ll bet you’d like Talent.
Thanks for introducing us to B. Lynn and her new book, Barbara.
Hi Jill – thanks for reading – hope you’re staying warm!
Happy to meet you, Jill. After winning some awards for Talent, I’m writing a sequel. 🙏
B. Lynn, I am fascinated by your range of genres: memoir, self-help, and now novel. I notice that you have published in Story Circle Network, most recently Living in Covid Time, where I also submitted a “Love” story.
Thanks, Barb, for featuring the work of this prolific author here. The cover of Talent is enticing!
Hi Marian – yes I also like the cover of Talent – a great design. Thanks for reading and commenting!
Thanks so much, Marian. I’m planning to review Living In Covid Time very soon and will definitely read your story. Looking forward to it. 🙏
Hi, Barb – Thank you for introducing B. Lynn Goodwin to us. Talent sounds like a very compelling story — and I love the cover!

It is a compelling story. Tons of adults love it. I think they secretly imagine they are Sandee Mason. Thanks! Love the name Retirement Reflections. 🙏
Thanks for introducing me to B. Lynn and her book, Barb. It sounds like a wonderful coming of age story. 🙂
Hi Diana – yes I think so too. Thanks for the visit!
