Welcome Home

This is a happy ending to the horrible story of my dear, dear friend Bonnie who lost her home and all it's contents in the May 22, 2011 Joplin, Missouri tornado. I could put links up to You Tube or articles about the devastating storm, but I want to focus on survival.  Bonnie has seen hard times, like so many other people, yet none so hard as this ordeal.  She could have crumbled, and perhaps did a bit in private. Yet after the shock of it all, I am not surprised by her strength. She did what needed to be done, and that was to keep her family together. With the help of her wonderful husband by her side, plenty of caring friends supporting her and her unshakable faith in God, today she has crossed the threshold of her newly built home.  In my book, she is the stuff heroines are made of...  Welcome home, Bonnie!

Bonnie unlocking her new front door and stepping into the brilliant future.

NOVEL JEWELRY!

WARNING: YOU WILL BE TEMPTED!

HAVE YOU HEARD? Each female character in my novel, The Goodbye Lie, has her own necklace created to match her personality! See for yourself at http://www.greenlightwrite.com/jewelrygbl.htm!

My wonderful sister and partner, Nancy Kamp , has fashioned unique pieces for you to wear to continue The Goodbye Lie experience while, during, and after you've read and reread the series. As you patiently wait for the next Goodbye Lie installment, treat yourself.
Plus, Nancy has also created necklaces to represent famous women in history. Included are biographies and other books featuring ladies of the past. You can learn about their lives as you adorn yourself with the jewelry Nancy envisions they would wear. What a fashionable and interesting concept!

Miss Ella sparkles in our Lakshmi Collection, but for quieter moments, she enjoys our Empress Pulcheria jewelry.

Aunt Coe Fries is a happy combination of stability and love. She is always there for her family, but she has never forgotten her happy and romantic youth. Aunt Coe indulges her yearnings for far away places with our Tatiana and Candace Collections.

Leona Visper is sexy and elegant. She revels in our Empress Anna Collection, but sometimes Nzingha's mystery suits her mood.
Grammy and Peeper still enjoy a bit of flirtation, and they love beautiful things.
Grammy favors Queen Liliuokalani while Peeper thinks our Betsy Bonaparte Collection is just the thing.

Aunt Noreen Duffy may not be the most popular member of the family, but no one can deny her excellent taste. She adores our Trung Trac and Queen Christina Collections, and is certain our Aphrodite Collection was designed just for her!
