Learning the ropes.

Learning the ropes Hi, I'm nicah. I'm new that to all this, so you'll have to suffer with me as I try to learn. Fortunately, I have a friend, nic, to help me with the technical details. If you've seen this before, I published this earlier (6/12/19), and I've learned a few things since that prompted me to republish it and make it look a little prettier. Let me introduce myself. I'm nicah, nicah la Cortes. That's not my real name, it's my pen name, and I'm a writer. nicah is a diminutive, and it's always spelt with a lowercase 'n'.

Secret Family - Part Seven.

Secret Family - Part Seven. gOOd Reads, Novel, Novelist, Writer, Writing, Blogger, Free Books, Free Serialized Books, I've been working hard to get up to date. You will see that I've decided to re-publish to six parts of 'Secret Family' under its original title 'Searching for Love'. I've struggled with that for quite a time and I'm finally convinced that it's the right decision. As far as my reader figures are concern the damage was already done. The revamp of my site 'nicah la Cortes' is almost complete. It's taken far longer the I had anticipated will the expected delays to my writing schedule. As usual nic has been in attendance in 'guru' mode. He's fixed a couple in the 'Blogger' platform for me. I'll blog about that in due time. Hopefully you are keen to get and read, so I'll let you. nicah. ----- o O o ----- Cover art: The cousins chillaxing. 18. Tim was the first do...
