I need to give Jane Sheeba credit; she caught my eye by writing like crazy. I remember a while back seeing her guest posts on multiple blogs. OK, like every blog it seemed.

Everywhere I turned I saw the name, “Jane Sheeba.” I was impressed. Think about it; many famous and wealthy singers rarely turn down the opportunity to work with other singers.
