COOL! Everything about this tour is cool. You've put it together, Joyce, in top-notch fashion. I always delight in learning all about you and your outstanding achievements, Billie.

Great to meet Billie!
Billie, sometimes I find all the things to learn and do a little over whelming. What advice do you have for a new author like myself? (my first novel is due to debut June/01/2011 with museituppublishing.com).
