Laurie, this keeps getting better and better. You really should consider writing as a career and not just a hobby. Even though you enjoy the effort...and I am damn glad you have chosen to share with us...I'm afraid your efforts could be wasted. What you are creating here is worthy of being published. Keep up the great work!

Wow, Joni, coming from you 'n how awesome a writer you are, this really is the best compliment I could ever get! You're the one who gave me that kick in my butt to try to write something for adults for a change!
All I'm doing is telling stories, just like I've been doing for the kids I take care of.....comes with the nanny territory!

'n putting my friends here in these stories about a city 'n a time I love so much. I fell in love with the Deadwood area 'n the Black Hills ever since I moved out here from the other side of the state, the beauty 'n history of the place. I listened to all the stories, the legends, the history 'n all I'm doing is putting us all in the tales!

Joni, YOU are the one who should be published, your stories here are ALWAYS amazing! In Clockwork Strawberry, you took my lil story about a fight at the Sturgis Rally 'n turned it into a wild adventure full of characters 'n plots I could never dream of. Your other stories, like your series with Gemma, 'n all the other 'one & done' stories all show just how talented you are!
My stuff is like Creative Writing 101, yours is a Master Class!!!
