The Revenge of the Bow-tied One
I suppose it served me right that after all of the stories I’ve told about my editor, that he told one about me to a large group of people, but yeah, he got me back. We were both just up…Author interview–Janette Tells All!
Blogger tells me this is my 100th post, and I know it’s tradition to tell 100 facts about yourself, but instead I’m going to give you a link to an interview with Betty Webb where I talk about all sorts…It’s really a book for writers
