Good Friends



Meg, Me and Marilyn



A few days before Christmas, Meg drove into town for a quick visit with Marilyn. Actually, the Twisted Sisters were planning a girls retreat to a resort spa called the Canebrake. They try to get together monthly just to get away. In October, they managed a jaunt down to Cozumel . . . the dogs!

Jealous some?

Sha-yah!

Anyhoo, we managed to sync our schedules for breakfast . . . er, brunch . . . er, lunch . . . um . . . it really ended up being all three. We started at 9 AM, but I didn't get home until almost 1 PM. Good thing IHOP wasn't very busy!

I don't have much to say about our visit other than we talked about EVERYTHING!

I love my sisters from different mothers. They are very special to me. In fact, their emotional support during 2011 has helped me see my dreams of publishing my middle grade series, The Goblin's Apprentice. This is from Sugar Plum Disaster's acknowledgement page:
 

Writing is such a solitary business, but without the wonderful support of my family and friends, it would have been a struggle. I would like to send a special thank you to my wonderful friend and cover artist, Laura Morrigan, who is a talented writer on top of her artistic skills. Another special thanks and shout out goes to Meg Reid who was there for me when I freaked out during the entire Goblin’s Apprentice series. I’m sincerely glad she has my back. And to Marilyn Pappano who took me under her wing and taught me how to fly.

I really can't express how much your friendship and support has braced me up over this last year.

I love you both very, very much.

Thank you.
