This has already been another busy week and baby-sitting grandchildren again this morning. Congratulations, Shirley, I know you will enjoy this book and want to read the sequel too. And I never mentioned to Jo-Anne that thanks to ACFW you and I have been in contact many times over a lot of years now, Shirley! And thank you for the birthday greetings. It has been a marvellous time and made me feel very loved indeed!Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-91023769892279295232010-04-13T01:22:14.358-07:002010-04-13T01:22:14.358-07:00Woohoo!

I would dearly love to send a copy of my novel to all of you, but unfortunately have to keep it to one person, who in this case is Shirley Corder from South Africa. However, if any of you do want to purchase one of my novels, you can do this via my website, www.jo-anneberthelsen.com. I may even give you an extra good postage rate in this instance!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-21274030754312953462010-04-10T22:52:33.224-07:002010-04-10T22:52:33.224-07:00Thanks for answering, Mary.

And it was a big birthday for myself, Shirl! I've posted a couple of photos on my facebook page for anyone on there! My daughter Gaylene (Hawkins) also just posted some on her page of the great photos she scanned from years gone by! http://www.facebook.com/MaryHawkinsAustralianAuthor<br />I know that after you've read 'Helena' you won't be able to resist the sequel. It gave me glimpses of what is can be like for migrants to Australia after the second world war. However I found the story of a blind girl in 'Laura' hard to put down! Hope you do check out Jo-Anne's website too!Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-50230501399132553602010-04-09T14:08:42.493-07:002010-04-09T14:08:42.493-07:00Welcome Jo-anne, and thanks for sharing.

I'll understand if you can't.<br />Blessings as you continue to follow your dream and God's vision.<br /><br />Mary? Who had a special birthday? Sounds like a great time.Shirley Corderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429641202607657089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-55628214615298099622010-04-09T08:05:40.233-07:002010-04-09T08:05:40.233-07:00"Show me Thy ways, Oh God, Teach me Thy truth..."Show me Thy ways, Oh God, Teach me Thy truth" was sung at my wedding and I do try to keep me mind open, but sometimes I wish God would just send an e-mail and lay it out for me! Congratulations on hearing your calling and acting on it. I'd love to get your book.Alice Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218095053108888830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-37910472552698582962010-04-09T08:00:58.949-07:002010-04-09T08:00:58.949-07:00Welcome, Jo-anne!
