Angela Dove launched a new book

We are happy to welcome new member of Netwest, Angela Dove, author of No Room for Doubt. Angela launched her book at Osondu Booksellers last weekend. Those who attended the Netwest picnic in Maggie Valley a couple of years ago will remember Angela who was our special guest.

The book is selling well, according to Margaret, owner of Osondu in Waynesville, NC. She said Angela is not only a good writer, but also a good reader. Angela will soon be visiting California where she will sign her book in various locations.
