Pages of the Past (Bellingwood Book 9) (30 page)

There is nothing more fun than writing - at least for me. It takes a lot of solitude – a perfect life for this hermit. One little black and white cat named TB (The Beast) lives with me to remind me that there's a bigger world than what's going on in my head. I love that little bugger, even when he pesters me while I'm desperately trying to finish a chapter.

Thank you to Rebecca Bauman, Tracy Kesterson Simpson, Linda Watson, Carol Greenwood, Alice Stewart, Fran Neff, Max Muir, Edna Fleming and Nancy Quist for all they do to make these books happen.

Continuity issues, typos, odd grammatical issues, missing or extra words get caught because they spend time reading this when it is still pretty raw. I take all of their input and use it to help me build a better book. I couldn't do this without them.

The Facebook iteration of Bellingwood had a contest to choose the name for the new coffee shop and bakery. Great names and lots of fun.

Jancie Ter Louw's "Sweet Beans" was the winning name and Sal is so thankful to have that dealt with. Other awesome names were offered by Pam Weaver, Kay Pflueger, Phyllis Mescia, Kate Hickson, Nola Knowles, Cathy Callahan and Brad Hickson.
