#WARNING! #FakeInstagram #ScamAlert

Heading out to help my hubby celebrate his birthday, but wanted to let all my followers know that I have NEVER (nor would I EVER) direct message anyone from Instagram. It appears there are a couple of fake accounts with my name on them, though they have added a number or two behind the name, and they are trying to scam folks. PLEASE DO NOT ANSWER THESE MESSAGES. They are NOT from me, and I have no idea what they might be trying to accomplish. Tomorrow, I will find out what I have to do to close them down. 

I’m SO sorry for this! (It’s why I closed my Facebook page 2 years ago!)  It’s just not worth the risk, sometimes.

 

Thanks, Everybody!

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who commented on my post about beta readers. I decided to remove the post because I did a terrible job of explaining what I really wanted. (I’ll admit, I’d just come back inside from some labor intensive yard work in 90 degree weather, so was probably too tired to even try to tackle the post.)

Please know that I definitely understand that most writers don’t have the time to be beta readers for another writer. I was mostly hoping you might have a friend or family member who’d enjoy it, but honestly, it’s not a big deal. And I apologize profusely for bothering you folks unnecessarily. 

So … pay no attention to that crazy ol’ granny behind the curtain. A good night’s rest in the glorious air conditioning, and she’ll be back to normal again. (Or, as normal as she gets, anyway.)

And THANKS for putting up with me. (I do go crazy now and then!)
