You’re the best. So excited about your new adventure.
It was so nice meeting you at lunch at the Florida Christian Writers Conference and getting to know you. God bless you, Deb.
I enjoyed meeting you at the NW Christian Writers Renewal in Bellevue. Thank you for coming.
I appreciated your teaching and your interest in my book ideas. Also, thank you for taking my niece’s book, Stars in the Grass, to review.
I hope to be in touch again.
Blessings,

Dear Deb
Thank you for coming to the Montrose Christian Writers Conference, and your interest in my book
I’m putting a proposal together for the children’s book. Instead of including a synopsis, you suggested sending the story (W.C. 6500). Also working on a web site per Linda Rondeau’s suggestion.
Kind regards,
Tim Wymbs, Montrose, Pa.
