Hi, SEers! Mae here. 2021 is bringing a lot of excitement to a lot of people. Who isn’t exhilarated to put 2020 in the rear view mirror? Here, at Story Empire, we have our own reasons to celebrate. Foremost, we are kicking off the new year with a brand new SE member.

Please welcome D.L. Finn! Denise is a talented author of fiction, poetry, and children’s stories. She’s also a voracious reader, a wonderfully supportive blogger, and someone who brings a dose of sunshine with her beautiful spirit. We’re thrilled to have her join our group and we’re rolling out the red carpet in welcome. We hope you’ll do the same. Drop her a comment and say hello!

Ciao, SEers! Staci here. It is cause for celebration, and I for one, couldn’t be more excited! I “met” Denise online a while ago and grew familiar with her through her writing and her blogging, so it was an easy decision to invite her to join us based on those credentials. But over the last month, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know her better as a person through our private Slack channels, and in that time, its only served to prove we made the right call. She’s such a delightful person. If you don’t already know her, I know you’re all going to grow to adore her as much as we do. I’m so happy to officially welcome her today, and I hope you all join us in doing the same.
Hey, SE Readers! Joan here. I’m super excited to welcome Denise to our group. I became acquainted with her through blogging and have enjoyed reading her books. As Staci, it’s been wonderful getting to know her more through our private Slack channels and can say she will be a valuable addition to our group. Joining with the others in rolling out the red carpet today. Please join us in welcoming her to the SE Family.

Hello Seers. John here. I am so pleased to be able to welcome Denise to the Story Empire crew. Denise is an accomplished author who writes compelling fiction and beautiful Poetry. Some of her best poems have been composed while riding on the back of a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Denise is also a voracious reader who publishes her reviews on her blog. She also identifies books that deserve extra recognition since they somehow made an impact on her personally. I know you are going to enjoy Denise’s contributions since she has broad experience in several genres. By the way, Denise loves dolphins so this one is for her. Please join me in a big welcome to Denise.

Happy days, SEers! Gwen here. I’m so pleased to welcome Denise to the Story Empire family. Her motto, Embrace Your Inner Child, has reached across the globe and brought smiles to many. Through her beautiful poetry and thought-provoking books, she also opens hearts. I’m delighted she’ll be sharing her wisdom and grace with us. I suspect we’ll all be dancing with our inner child a little more, with Denise as our guide. Welcome aboard, Denise!
Hi Gang. Craig here and I hope you’ll help us welcome Denise to our little group. She is a veteran writer, and has a wealth of life experience to share. I’m looking forward to learning something from her posts and hope you are, too. I love the idea that some of her stories include a supernatural element. I think she’s going to help us broaden our base and allow us to offer more to our readers. Welcome Denise!

Hi everyone. Harmony here. I am so super excited to welcome Denise to our group. I’ve known this awesome lady for years online and cannot wait for her first post with SE tomorrow! Along with the rest of the team, I’m doing my happy dance. Denise is always super supportive of her fellow writers and opens her blog and her heart to us all. I’m sure that Denise will be a great boon for us all. So, please, join us in our happy dance in welcoming Denise to SE and tune in tomorrow for her first ever SE post! 🙂
‘Composing poems on the back of a Harley Davidson’ – brilliant! Welcome, Denise!
