Sheila - one of my oldest and dearest friends

Sheila and I met in college and haven't stopped laughing since. I fully expect to be laughing with her all the way to the old age home! SHe is also Godmother to my oldest son Ian.

Q: What was your first impression when you found out Sara wrote romance novels?

My first impression was "when did she have the time?!" Sara's already a wife and mother holding down a full-time job. The fact that it was a romance didn't surprise me at all. I think a lot of people with a great imagination are romantics at heart, and Sara has a great imagination.

Q: What is the silliest thing you and Sara have done together?

We're not silly at all, and I resent the question! (I can't think of one thing - we laugh all the time, but it's not, to me, anything you would describe as "silly.")

Q: What strikes you most about Sara's personality?

Sara loves life and is an eternal optimist.

Q: How does it feel to have a published author in your circle? (that question might sound a bit stuffy)

It feels right. I always knew my circle would produce greatness! (That sounds stuffy, too, but I don't give a sh-t. "It's true for me," as my grandmother would say.)

Q: Do you ever get to read one of Sara's books from the moment she starts writing it, or does she only share once finished?

I was lucky enough to see an early draft of "The Amoveo Legacy." I would love to continue to see her work as it's progressing, but whatever she needs to do to nurture her craft is up to her.
