Edits and Rewrites
Have I ever told you much I DESPISE editing and rewriting? Well, If I haven't said it, I'm saying it now. I HATE REWRITES!

Thanks for going out yesterday and purchasing my book. I can't wait to hear your thoughts. And remember the title, Sweet Georgia Brown. I read your last comment so it will be interesting what you think of both Marvin and Georgia.

Take care!
