I am a firm believer of everything happens for a reason.  It?s a fun practice to retrace my steps when I notice something wonderful happen in my life. Meeting Melissa Foster is one of those ?wonderful happenings.?  As a new author, likes on my Facebook fan page were seriously lacking. Melissa posted a link to the WoMen?s Literary Caf? on my fan page one day and invited me to connect with other authors. It was almost an afterthought when I accepted her offer. After that choice life was a whirlwind of activity and excitement! Melissa started a Facebook group of the most fun and thoughtful group of people I have ever encountered. We constantly bantered, encouraged, and sympathized with each other. Through this group I had my first interview as an author, the thrill of having a wider fan base with increased book sales, and friendships that have brightened my life. Dazzling ideas and cross promotion opportunities are now a near daily occurrence. The premise of ?together we succeed? permeates everything that WLC stands for. Not only giving back and helping others, but doing so with the highest standard of integrity. The growth I have experienced with WLC is incredible. I now hold the position of WLC Tweet Queen. Actually, I write gratitude tweets for the awesome bloggers that are key to the success of WLC. I accepted this position so I can continue to help grow this wonderful community. My hat is off to Melissa for daring to dream big and inviting me to experience the magnificence that she attracts.
