The Buzz About Margie

A friend who attended RWA National said that at the Steeple Hill spotlight, editors Krista Stroever and Melissa Endlich mentioned my books and how they have this depth of emotion that makes them cry. They said that's the kind of emotive writing they want to see from authors trying to break in. Margie, I know I have you to thank for the strong core of emotion that people say are in my books. Thank you for bringing your wealth of knowledge and sharing with us. You truly are amazing.”
