Rosanne Hi Kelli, thanks for accepting my friend invite! I'm happy you write crime fiction because I love readng crime fiction. And that's why I also became a fan of your's. I myself haven't written any crime fiction stories, only 1 mystery fiction story which was accepted & published in Storytime Tapestry, an Internet publication. Looking forward to reading your work! ~Rosanne Catalano, publisher/editor/author, The Cat's Meow for Writers & Readers, www.rosannecatalano.net
