I Sold My First Poems

Someone here bought my You trilogy. I know who they are & I sent them an email regarding it. I won't name them, in case, they'd like to remain anonymous. I will say this, that symbolic gesture, of wanting to help, really put a smile on my & Ron's face. This person did, what, so far, our family &... Sign in to see full entry.
