The Dream:
 Since learning to write at the age of five, Yvonne has wanted to be an author. She wrote her first novel Stan’s Story beginning in 1974 and completed it in 2006.

At 7:39pm on September 4, 2009, MARY CLARK said…: That is what I thought, the publisher asked me
what I wanted for the cover although in contract
it says they have the final say about it.
I suggested a full body of me, but as I said
they have the final say, but thank you again so much,you are
so kind. I said earlier, had I known then what I know
I would have DEFINITELY taken another route.
Again, it is in the text department after that I think
comes the cover design.

At 7:09pm on September 4, 2009, MARY CLARK said…: OH my, Thank you so very much Yvonne,
but the book is not out yet and I have not
gotten a cover yet. I am sorry if anyone missunderstood.
IT is in the TEXT department now.
I do have a question though, IN my book I made ONE QUOTE from
my mother, In my book I MENTIONED NO NAMES, I told an entire true life story WITHOUT mentioning ONE SINGLE NAME.
I just recieved an email saying I needed PERMISSIONS.
I do not understand how can I need persmissons from people I did not name. Yvonne DO I need permissions. In my book, I said "RELATIVES"
and I have IF NOT over 300 of them.

At 1:26pm on September 4, 2009, MARY CLARK said…: Hi there, I hope to learn a lot here.
I am a first time writer.

Molested at age 8, run over by a train at age 9,My teen and adult years I was addicted to drugs and alcohol. I wrote this book "My Tragedy My Life My Testimony" praying that it will help or save someone else's life. Written by: Mary Louise Clark

At 9:07am on April 29, 2009, Fran Lewis said…: thank you so much. I have to edit the book one more time and then scan the pictures into my new computer. I have been fighting with VNS to keep my mom's home health care in place and I am emotionally trained. I loved my interview with Angel on Monday night. I hope that everyone will listen. It was quite an experience and she is great. fran

At 4:26pm on March 5, 2009, Fran Lewis said…: can't wait. I did a review for Ijustfinished.com on Sorrows of an American. It was a real departure from anything I have ever read. It was quite profound and really interesting.

At 3:41pm on March 5, 2009, Fran Lewis said…: Your character of Marian Lewis captured my attention right away as did the reporter. I started it this afternoon and I can't put it down. Can't wait to see why he really started his killing spree and how he outduped the police on the first 3.
