  10. Linda, What a treat to hear from you here and get your email about Cec Murphy! I'm so glad he's joining the blogging world:) I have a feeling I'll be stopping by to visit there every day. It's a privilege to list you and Cec in the sidebar of my blog. Bless you for sharing!

  11. Linda, I forgot to mention how much I loved Cec's and Don Piper's 90 Minutes in Heaven. No wonder it's sold 3 million copies and is printed in 25 different languages! I've heard there's even a movie coming:) And he writes for my pub!

  12. Here's a quote to go with your others:

    "I read because one life isn't enough, and in the page of a book I can be anybody...I read because the words that build the story become mine, to build my life...I read not for happy endings but for new beginnings; I'm just beginning myself, and I wouldn't mind a map...I read because every journey begins at the library, and it's time for me to start packing;

    Richard Peck

  13. Love this, Kav!! I'm a quoteaholic if you couldn't tell:) Will have to check out Richard Peck. If he can come up with a few short sentences like that, what must his books be like!
    Thank you!
