Comment from Rachelle Allen

Excellent

CONGRATULATIONS!! I could not be happier for you, Sandra!! I loved This Time It's Personal and will begin this week reading Books one and two. What an enormous achievement. Yet my favorite facet about you is that you've retained such humility. You're so accomplished yet still so TOTALLY down-to-earth. So proud to say we're friends. xo

Bless your heart, Rachelle, that is so nice of you. Thank you so much for those lovely comments, (I'm as red as a beetroot now!) I'm so relieved that I have finished the books, it was a daunting task and had it not been for everyone on here, it would not have been completed. Biggest hugs, dear friend. :)) Sandra xx

What a lovely lady you are, Rama, thank you so very much for this wonderful review and for the six stars. I do so appreciate you. I suddenly feel like I've lost my family, lol, the characters have been such a big part of my life for the past few years. Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx ps, I've just sent you an email. xxx

Thanks for your nice mail, dear. I can imagine you'll be grieving those characters, but you can always revisit them in a short story, another sequel, a prequel, or...just let new ones emerge to hang out with!

They should have counseling meetings for people missing thier characters in shows and books. LOL

You're a lovely lady too. thanks for your friendship.
Lots of Love and huge hugs,

Hi Jan, Yes, that's the cover of the book, I have the same cover for all three books, but with a different picture at the bottom and the different title. Thank you so much for the congratulations, as I've always said, without you I wouldn't have been able to do it. Thank you big time!! :)) xxxx Sandra xx

Hi Sandra,

Super job and quite an accomplishment. not one but three books! lol

I'm the same as you, I'd only written poetry before joining so I've only be writing prose fiction for about four years. There's a steep learning curve on the site for those folk who are open to advice and help.

Good job and well done.

I couldn't have done it without your help, Gareth, I've learnt a lot from you and a few others on here. Why anyone would reject help, baffles me. Now for the cheeky part, lol, if you fancy putting a review on for me like you did before, I'd be eternally grateful!! :)) Thanks again, my friend. xxxx Sandra x

Very many congratulations! I'm delighted for you, Sandra. Your success is so thoroughly deserved. You have woven a fascinating tale with rich characterisation and historical depth. I shall look forward to buying the trilogy and reading it from beginning to end. I may even bask in the reflected glory of being able to say that I know the author! LOL
