message 29: by Ed

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Joe. You seem like an interesting person, as well as a prolific and accomplished author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled "Forbidden Steps".

Regards, and have a great day, Ed

Joe Hilley Working the back-story for character momentum to uncover the conclusion to this book idea.


Williammaltese Joe. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but I've been dealing with the nine bites to the left side of my face made by a spider that apparently mistook me for a dinner plate. Always (well, most of the time) always great to run across (not literally, of course), someone interested in reading.
