about me

I will read and back those who back mine much faster than those who just ask me to read theirs and don't read and back mine.

I've been here before but needed to spend time on the novel. I'm back with a new opening, new name. I hope you enjoy this new start and can give me some critique on what I have posted. I will be posting more as I complete final revisions. The novel is complete, part of a 4 part series.

Heartstrings Legacy -- Choices....

Mary McDonald

A chance meeting sets the stage for soulmates Ella and Enrique's marriage; their sacrifice to protect their child leads to many unforeseen rewards and enlightenments


A night out with friends after being fired from her job becomes a first date as soulmates Ella and Enrique meet and fall in love. As their love grows, they find their relationship is helping others in ways they could not have imagined that first night. In the manner of "American Grafitti," the first chapters take us through that first night of discovery.

The decision made that night to remain childless results in unforgetable and heartwarming moments for themselves and their loved ones as time goes on. Adoption of their child sacrificed for its own protection results in parable like stories for all to enjoy.

This is also the story of adults who have learned to control their ADHD, resulting in a stronger and highly successful business and personal life. Different aspects of this self control are seen throughout the story, yet it never takes center stage--it is a part of them and their lives yet never controls either.

Book is complete, the first of a four part series.

You asked for a read, and I normally don't respond until after others have read mine. But today's a day of editing and distractions, so I'm allowing myself some time away and picked yours up. After beginning the read, I did something I seldom do, which is read the comments before writing my own. I ... view book

I find the therapist's need to change her clothes because her dress is inside out or backwards is a bit incredulous. Also, that entire sentence is a bit long and wordy. Many sentences are far too long and disrupt the reading because of the length. Started to read ch. 2 but something about the... view book

I like the opening lines, but I'm confused by the prologue, not sure it's needed, not sure what's happening when ch. 1 starts. The prologue forebodes the need for a good edit through out. Commas are misplaced or are not needed. "A lone man sat, chained,"--stilted read. 'A chained man sat alone i... view book

Skipped to upload 25, Wherever you are, He is there. This is done well, a very interesting devotional that will appeal to many who are traditionalists in their Bible study. The use of a personal story to demonstrate the lesson is very good. Mary -- Heartstrings Legacy--Choices Made view book

I've spent a lot of time working with and living around Hispanics who actually call themselves Mexican. They are third or fourth generation Americans who's grandparent, great-grandparents immigrated from Mexico.
