My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Other Authors/Writers, Editors, Screenwriters, Agents, Publishers, Movie Producers, Jesus, Edgar Allen Poe, Ernest Hemingway, and I'd like to meet again the woman who screamed at me during a book signing for being a woman. She thought Dana Reed was a man and developed a crush on 'him'. I want to tell her I never meant to deceive her. She never gave me the chance at that time.

Reviews of my first mystery Unholy Alliance. I'm especially proud of the review by Nicholas Grabowsky, a dear, sweet, friend.

Dear friends, If you've sent a friend's request to me and haven't received an answer, it's because some are not posted although I receive email about them. And some don't take when I click the okay link. I've sent email to Tom, which doesn't reach him as I recently found out, but goes to someone else in charge. I'm still waiting for answers. So please don't hate me for a lack of approval. Dana
