    I know right? I know you may not believe this, but I am very well educated and do know how to speak properly. *whispering* I simply find it amusing to aggravate Meghan.

    Hi sweatpea, It'so nice to chat with you. So far I have written four books, all novels. Two of them are historical novels. I too wanted be an author when I was your age. However all I could do was reading. In the long run it did help me to develop a taste for good books and finally when I retired I published my first book.
    I live in Athens but during summer I move to a small town in Peloponesse, 320 klm from Athens by the Ionian sea. You can trace my village through Google Earth if you want to, all you have to do is write down "Marathopolis, Messinia, Greece". The Greek isles are really very beautyful and I wish you your dream to come true someday.
