It is Friday again and time to look forward to a little bit of rest. This has been a busy week. Gwen Plano and I have been a guest on some remarkable blogs this week. We are so grateful for the support that we have received and do thank everyone who has been generous enough to share their precious blog space with us. Since I have been reblogging them, you know who they are. Our promotion goes one more week so you will see some interesting places to visit.
Today’s JohnKu talks to the idea that we authors are a lonely bunch who cannot thrive alone. It is a paradox that consistently tells us to appreciate those who are willing to help. We should also be reminded to give back to those who assist us when they are in such need. Have a safe and happy weekend.

We think we have strength,
To work a problem alone. . .
Until we have help.

Definitely one of the great paradoxes of being a published author, I’m sure! It’s great to have a community who knows and understands these things. Congratulations on your and Gwen’s launch! Hoping you see the success you deserve. Happy Friday, John.
