I have made some good author friends on the Publish America boards that I'd like to thank:

• www.Publishamerica.com
  
• I am thankful to Publish America for the opportunity in meeting these amazing people and get to have this experience. I haven't seen their faces but I have experienced the talents and benefited from their hard work, Tratiff, Shawns, 2 Brenda's, Shawnl, Pam, Megan and Sandra, Anthony. Thank you for all of your professionalism.

• There is the PA author, A. W. Nutter who has been so helpful to me, with advice, even doing a review for my book. He allows me to e-mail him and vent my "author ideas". He is the first person to encourage new PA authors, helping us improve our websites and he is not afraid to give us his opinion. I think in the end my book will be better because of him. He inspires me to become a better person and author..thank you.
  

• www.dickstodhill.com
• There is another excellent PA author who calls himself "an old-timer" in this business of writing, Dick Stodgill. He has been a world of information and a kind man in giving good sound advice. He is always quick to answer, honest and clear in his instructions. The PA authors respect him highly, and I agree!
  

• www.timquinton.com
• I really enjoy Tim Quinton, another author at PA. He is very knowledgeable about marketing our books. His real talent is in book signings, and he has shared all his experiences. He is so nice about how he explains things to you with real excitement.
  

• www.Freewebs.com/zadaconnaway
• The woman PA author Zada/witchyme is one of the most compassionate people on the boards.  She is great to post,and to give well need encouragement. She has done it for me many times when no one seemed to answer my post and I was feeling invisible.  Then there would be Zada, to tell me someone on the boards was listening to a green horn author like me.
  

• www.Julielarosebooks.ca  
• I have appreciated PA author Julie Larose/Malacandra because of her sheer honesty. I like it when she comes to my website and gives me positive criticism. Hey, I have even invited her, I think because of her she has made me evaluate and change things to make this site my best. She is a straight shooter and that is unusual in these times.
  

• www.tabitha-robin.com
• There is PA author/poet Tabitha-Robin, she is the most helpful reviewer I have ever seen on the boards. That is her gift...words and when giving a review she uses them so elegantly. She is also such a nice person and strong in her belief in (Christ, Jesus.) I personally admire her enthusiasm.
  

• www.Freewebs.com/megpreece
• Another PA author Mary Preece, who is very gentle and even diplomatic in her dealings on the board. She also has a strong faith in (Christ, Jesus.) I listen to people who say something when they talk and is straight forward yet gentle in there delivery.

• www.publishedauthors.net/pierrettelilicamps
  
• Then there is our PA author who truly lives with all of her being. She is French and proud to be. She loves humor and a bit of teasing, at times she is mis-understood. I have done it to her once but she  is forgiving toward us overly sensitive Americans, like myself. Her name is Pierrette. I do like to read her post they are fun.

• www.womensself-esteem.com 
• There is someone I have met on-line that I just adore, her ne else I name is Dorothy Lafrinere. I met her on a woman's website. I requested a review and she did it and a fine job she did. We hit it off because our sense of humor matched. I think I have a new found friend for life!

• www.freewebs.com/blackjackcooper
• This is a new author to Publish America  but he is not new to writing.  Since he's been  there he has been nothing but a kind gentleman  and has a sense of humor that great!  When he has something to say he most of the time right on target.  He has wisdom in being an author but in being a friend and fellow human being. Thank  you Curt Gibson for being how you are.

• www.twinriverspublisher.com
• I like Penny because she goes the extra mile with people. I  glad I can call her a fellow PA author but friend as well!  Do keep that husband around  (Tommy) you two work so well together.
