For some, the maternal instinct to be a helper extends beyond our kids. Or maybe it is because we are writers and that article was incorrect. I do agree, Sue's comments on the galley for Doc were very helpful.Nadine Lamanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709289434339532281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-76588621159243054962010-10-02T07:13:48.625-07:002010-10-02T07:13:48.625-07:00Hello Nidhi.

I haven't found it this way. And this could never be said of my friend Sue Guiney. A great friend and a great help in taking the time out to read my draft and make detailed comments - even though her own novel was due out in weeks. She deserves a plug. 'Clash of Innocents', which is waiting for me in Wales, is available from http://www.wardwoodpublishing.co.uk/<br />I also loved her first novel 'Tangled Roots.' Sue is interviewed on my blog on Monday 4th October.<br />Kate Beswick another American author has also been a great help with my work and given me encouragement.<br />What do Nadine, Sue and Kate have in common? They are American. Maybe they're are nicer than the British.Glyn Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17944384973996748976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422983897713906924.post-70209794552994439802010-09-30T22:19:56.853-07:002010-09-30T22:19:56.853-07:00Joy, I treasure our friendship more than you know....Joy, I treasure our friendship more than you know.

There really is enough to go around. It just never occurs to either of us to feel in competition with each other.<br />And to be able to share this experience with you is the best.<br />Thank you, my friend.Joy Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420607137161293401noreply@blogger.com
