    I hope you will take the time to view my YouTube book trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-t0K34iU6g. I am doing some research about potential characters to play the lead role in the upcoming movie. Hope you can help me out. As Ralph Eggleston Director/Production Designer of Pixar Animation Studios said,
    "I LOVED the book! It's a missing, ENDLESSLY fascinating link to the history of Hollywood. Thank you for researching and writing it!! I hope it's been widely well received, as it deserves to be." Best wishes. Gaelyn

    Hey Jessicat! Happy new year to you as well :) Are you enjoying all of this rain we're getting? I love it--lots of time for reading! Though this weekend it's preventing me and Stagbeetle from getting to the Getty to see the Medieval Treasures exhibit...

    Yes the book is published. My great-grandfather is the founder and namer of Hollywood. His name is H J Whitley. If you like Hollywood visit my site at http://www.thefatherofhollywood.com/hollywood_Blog.asp
    and view Women of Film. It is an amazing piece of art.

    No, I have not read Enders like you i have been reading other things and favourites, right now I am catching up on making Christmas cards so not much reading time available. My reading world expanded some years ago when i did my 'A' levels in Eng. Lit. long long overdue. This encouraged me to expand my narrow horizons out of the sci-fi world. Still like it though. may try your recommend after Christmas from the library, Evelyn S

    Yes, Jessicat, cats people forever. The Queen's fool was a bit slow at first and i would not say it is my favourite out of them all, but it carries the tale through from Henry and Kathryn to Elizabeth. you also get a picture of how F who did not follow the rules.

    Hi Jessicat. Thanks for the comment and add. You certainly have an ecclectic taste in books and we share many of the same interests and titles. Good to find another LA bibliophile--a species not so easy to find here ;)

    Gorky Park? Oh yes! You must read it. I read it a long time ago. I even enjoyed the movie.

    Get it out of your library and then buy a copy if you want to have one on your self to read on a rainy day when you have nothing else exciting to read!
