    Hello! I was a little surprised (though I shouldn't be) to run across your name on Shelfari... I really enjoy your columns in the Sun Journal. :)

    Hey, Flamer,
    I didn't know I had an Author Unbound page. I'll try to find it. I know Shelfari has a new feature but haven't had time to check it out. I hope you didn't "act up" too much, but knowing my Crime Fighter, you probably did ... with your keen wit and humor. hehe
    I've been reviewing like crazy at Amazon. You should read the comments on my "Boston Red Sox Women's Shorts" review. I got almost 70 comments. Can't beat your old ones on your blog. I need to drop by there soon. Are you still going hot with that one?
    I'll e you some night soon around eleven ... and we'll chat like the olden days. we need to update each other on our writings.
    c u soon, kiddo, and tell TH hello, that little cutie,
    Fondly - Betty

    Hi, Mark, Am trying to recuperate and get back to normal, but it's going to take time. Very tired. Anyway, playing around tonight and placed your new short story and ASTERISK on my shelf alongside PINK ROOM and LEGEND. Waiting for your second novel as you're waiting for my fourth, I hope. Isn't this a great site for book lovers. What's the latest book you've read. Any recommendations for my SHELF?

    Mark, if you ever want to do a column on police and politics let me know. I not only served as a police officer but then was elected to the village council and then to the Mayors position. Read my bio on my book site on Amazon. Dreams In Blue: The Real Police.

    Thanks
    Richard

    Hey mate, nice to see you round here. Good fun to see what people have on their shelves -- at least what they want you to see!
    Bye for now!

    Well, sweetie, a shelf is a place you put books! You big tough crime reporters should know that! (teasing) ... Actually, this is a place where book-lovers gather to share their LIBRARY of fave books and make reviews and chat. Many of us are authors, too, so it's another way to Network and display our own wares. Don't feel shy about putting your own wonderful book on your shelf. Thanks for placing mine. I appreciate that; perhaps your shelf might be the very place where that big movie producer spots my TOONIES and makes it into an animated movie. One never knows, my friend. The more publicity, the better. I enjoy making little notes to the other SHELFARIs ... but don't have a lot of time for book discussions, etc. Cute photo of you, BTW. I "lurk" around your blog and you have had some great topics lately. Keep it going, Mark! - Take care - Betty
