Shirley Gilmore Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Shirley Gilmore

@rtslaywood Not sure about classifying authors 23-33 years of age as "older." I was born in 1952. Now that might be considered "older." Growing up, I was inspired by Gene Stratton Porter. You've probably never heard of her. She wrote "Freckles," "Laddie," "A Girl of the Limberlost," et. al

@AuthorJFuller And if wishes were fishes, we'd have some to fry. I had never heard that saying before tonight. When I was working on my book, I looked up "if wishes were horses, beggars would ride," to see where it came from, and the fish saying popped up.
