Sadly gone way too soon, Sheila Connolly will live on in her books.
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing all of them. Some I've read and more that I have on my TBR list anxious to read.

I still have several books of hers to read, so it will feel likes she's still writing them for me. And yes, she will live on through her books.
DeleteThanks, Lisa. Sheila is definitely missed.
ReplyDeleteSunday blessings,

So much, Pat.
DeleteHas anyone thought of naming a character after her in a book?
ReplyDeleteHi Ginnie. That's a lovely thought. Shelia was part of a group of authors called Wicked Authors. Perhaps you could write them and suggest it. https://wickedauthors.com/
