FAREWELL TO RETIRED DAMES

Jewels of the Quill bids a fond farewell to our Dame Obsidian. We wish you success in all of your endeavors!
Michele writes: "Jewels of the Quill are terrific writers and classy dames. My time as Dame Obsidian totally rocked (get it...rocked?). I feel very fortunate to have been a member of this group. Karen Wiesner does the work of a dozen people and her commitment and effort on behalf of JOTQ is awe-inspiring. I wish every Jewel love and laughter. Thanks for a wonderful year!"
Jewels of the Quill bids a fond farewell to our Dame Opal. We wish you success in all of your endeavors!
Alice writes: "I very much enjoyed my association with Jewels of the Quill members. The friendships are much prized. Since my income didn't justify the expense, circumstances dictated that I no longer belong to the group. I will miss the camaraderie and the knowledgeable information often received. May you all have much success."
Sherry Derr-Wille
Jewels of the Quill bids a fond farewell to our Dame Diamond. We wish you success in all of your endeavors!
Sherry writes: "In every relationship there is a time to say hello and a time to say good-bye. I have found that my career is taking me in several new and exciting directions. In order to do justice to both the group and myself, I have made the decision to leave the Jewels of the Quill. Although I will no longer be featured, I will be accessible to my friends and fans. I have enjoyed being part of the Jewels of the Quill and wish everyone the best. Please keep up with what is happening in my career at my website, or contact me at derr-wille@excite.com. I always look forward to hearing from old friends."
Debbie Fritter Jewels of the Quill bids a fond farewell to our Dame Emerald. We wish you success in all of your endeavors!
Debbie writes: "It is with sadness that, due to the demands of my writing career, I must depart Jewels of the Quill. This is not good-bye to JOTQ fans or from the other Jewels, it is simply a farewell until we meet again in another place and another time. Please stop by and visit me at my website from time to time. I'd love to hear from you."
Diana Kirk Jewels of the Quill bids a fond farewell to our Dame Pearl. We wish you success in all of your endeavors!
Diana writes: "It is with great sorrow that I am leaving this wonderful group of ladies at the end of June. I've had some health issues this past year and in order to keep my strength up, I'm limiting what I can do. So, for all my readers and Jewels of the Quill, it has been an honor sharing these web pages with you and I especially thank Karen Wiesner who has been my pillar and rock this past year. I will continue to edit her Hard Shell Word Factory books and I thank you, Karen, for all you've done for me and your understanding with my health issues. Hugs and love to all, Diana."
Jaye Roycraft Jewels of the Quill bids a fond farewell to our Dame Ruby. We wish you success in all of your endeavors!
Jaye writes: "It has been an honor and a pleasure to be a Jewel, and I have enjoyed the fellowship of the many signings, shows and conventions I've attended as Dame Ruby. Unfortunately, my writing is moving away from romance, so I must seek out new avenues of promotion. I will always treasure this time in my career, and I know that many of the friendships forged here will remain. A big thanks, too, to my fans for their support. Please know there are more books on the horizon, and I can always be reached through my website."

Julie writes: "It is with regret and fond remembrance that I leave the Jewels. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time as Dame Peridot and treasure the friendships I’ve made here, but it’s time for me to move on. Even though I’m leaving the group, I’ll still be there for my fans. They can always reach me at my website. I wish all the Jewels the best, and now it’s time for me to say goodbye."
