Here’s a peek inside the Ask The Author Section (We are receiving about 50 letters a day.)

Question from Regina: hi! I loooooooove the book! it rocks! I bought the rest! but I like this guy, his name is David but he sends me emails often and smiles at me but I don’t know if he really likes me back. I’m waaaaaaay to shy to ask him too. I have known him for 2 years though.  please help weezy!

Weezy’s Response: Thank you, Regina.  Once you have been friends with a guy for two years and he’s writing you emails, etc.  I think it’s time to go in for more information.  This way, if it’s a no go, you can move on emotionally.  But, I have a feeling this guy likes you.  Emails are pretty personal but they also offer some safety.  Do  you think you can start dropping hints via email to gauge his response?

For example: Let’s say you saw something today that made you think of him.  In the email, you could write, “I saw a blue Mustang today and it made me think of you because I know you want one.”  He might write back, “Oh, really?” and then you could say, “Yes, really.  I do think of you upon occasion, you know.”

This sort of thing gives you a way out if he is unresponsive.  But if he says, “You think of me often, huh?”  Then you can say, “Yes, I do because I might kind of like you just a little bit…”  And then you take it from there.

Rehoboth, Deleware

Cape May long exposure

Through the Lighthouse Window

Climbing up to the top of the lighthouse.  To see the ships at sea.

The White Picket Fence.  Does it posses the magical power to enhance home serenity?  No, but it’s pretty.
