I say this in advance, before I post anything too crazy. :) First, allow me to introduce myself: I'm Cheris Hodges, the author of seven novels, including Just Can't Get Enough, Cautious Heart, Searching For Paradise and Second Chances at Love.

In the coming weeks, months and whatever, I hope we can talk about a variety of things. Check me out at www.cherishodges.com or join me on MySpace at www.myspace.com/cherishodges Peace!
