Before I wrote the book DREAM LUCKY about Count Basie, Benny Goodman, the Roosevelts, Amelia Earhart, et al, I wrote for children. I'm still writing for children, in fact. I'd been a music . . . more

Pam W., May 23, 2008, 1:37PM EDTHi Roxane,
I just want to thank you for stopping by my gather and choosing me to be a friend. I am new and still learning to navigate my way around Gather. Again, thanks! -
CyberGwen ! , May 23, 2008, 1:22PM EDTThanks for the nice message on my review of your book, Dream Lucky. Thanks so much for bringing back some music that I had been neglecting lately too!

Kathy W., May 19, 2008, 5:17PM EDTI have always felt the desire to write for children. Please clue me in to the path? Honored that you asked for a connection.
Blessings,

Pamela L., May 19, 2008, 4:54PM EDTRoxane, I just got the message that you want to join my group. I am terribly flattered. In reading all about you, you sound really cool.
And now the embarrassing part, since Gather did its last big "up-grade", I can barely function on this web site. I am one step away from closing my account. I think it would be a little goofy to accept a connection just a week before I shut down.
I think you are BRAVE to stick it out and still struggle through this new Gather format. I will most probably be gone by the end of this month. But I am honored by your request for a connection. Thank you so much.

Christine Zibas, May 10, 2008, 5:34PM EDTSorry, I just stumbled across your ping. I love jazz and have my father to thank for that. He exposed me to a musical genre that has become a lifelong gift.
As for the Egyptian book, I think it might be a little tough for your kid, but then never underestimate a 12 year old's capacity for knowledge. I was an early reader that the librarians were always trying to steer into the children's section when I was picking out adult books. Have a look at it at the bookstore and see what you think. It's a great book, well written, but I found it tough going at times (so much history and overlapping names). -
Jo C., May 8, 2008, 1:07PM EDTJust a backup ping to let you know i accepted your friend request

Laura Cushing, May 6, 2008, 6:49PM EDTI just got my book today, and I can't wait to sit down and start reading!

Jeanie C., May 1, 2008, 2:56PM EDTSo Roxane, you know Franks family? LOL just kidding, I was born and grew up in West Orange, this silly world of ours gets smaller every day.
Thanks for the connection, hope we can be fast friends.
Have a great day.
