I've been following this plagiarism business a while now. Today it was announced that Cassie Edwards and her publisher have parted ways over the allegations. Obviously, they are of a different mind regarding fair use. It's brought up the question for us writers: What constitutes plagiarism? A court in England found Dan Brown not guilty in the case of The Davinci Code; and as far as I can tell, these two cases differ only in the fact that Cassie Edwards didn't include a bibliography giv… Continue
Where did 2008 go? I guess when you’re busy time really does fly because mine has certainly taken wing.
WRDF launched in February of 2008 and its membership has grown steadily. I hope that means we are doing something right for our members.
We have some fabulously talented writers among us. I would encourage you to take a little time to visit a couple new pages each week. The photos, videos, blurbs, excerpts, bios, blogs, graphics, and I could go on and on, are super fun and so interesting. No one has an excuse to be bored on this site with so much to read and see.
I hope you’ve kept up with WRDF’S newest features. All are great promotional opportunities for writers and great fun for our readers.

Hey there, Cheryl! Thanks for stopping by. I don't know how we keep up with all these sites. Barely...I'm thinking.
The Gatehouse Mystery was fabulous. Of course, I was hooked from The Secret of The Mansion. I loved the Happy Valley Mystery too (the basketball scene where Trixie shows off then feels flushed and embarrassed looking over at Honey so cool and collected). Though as a kid I remembered being puzzled at the change in style. Didn't realize until I was an adult and tracked down my lost childhood books that there were two different authors!! *slaps forehead*
Thanks for the memories AND for the nice comment on my blog. *smile*
