I don’t know what triggered the Facebook algorithm, but I notice that many of my followers are authors, and for some reason, a lot of you are from the UK , some are from Canada, Nigeria, Sweden, a few from the USA and only one from India. Forget being accomplished, I don’t even consider myself in the writer category; I blog every now and then and I feel extremely honored to be in the company of all of you authors, poets.

Pardon my ignorance, but that was the first time I ever heard of such a thing. Hmm.!!! My first reaction, “I would love for my name to be one of his characters even if it means she is convicted of a crime.” (This particular author writes crime thrillers and courtroom dramas). But then he would have to change his plot or storyline to reflect so...
