About Me:
I'm owner of Flying Turtle Publishing, a small publishing company and I write fiction as ML Barnes.

I've been a practicing word nerd for most of my life, now naturally morphed into a self-published author and publisher. I've never met a bookstore, garden or hike that I didn’t enjoy. I'm based in Hammond, Indiana.

Hi Mari, I can't seem to find the discussion I met you on, but if your reading group is interested in one of my books (The Candle Star, to jog your memory), I thought I'd pass on a sale Lulu is offering.  20% off all books through Sept. 9.  The checkout coupon is "September305".

Hi Mari!  I'm glad you enjoyed the chapters on my blog :-)  Thank you for your invitation.  You have a great idea, and I would take you up on it, but I am writing my blog as I go, and trying to publish a completed novel at the same time...so I already have a big project on my hands.  I will definately keep up with you.  You sound like so much fun!
