I am a author/writer involved in penning a trilogy on the period in my life from 1978-to 2002. First book, "A Step Of Faith" was published Nov. 06 and is available on-line. Next book, "From Darkness To Light" is finished and was edited by Marsha Hubler of Keystone Books; I am working on the third. I also write poems and short stories. Some poems...more »

    We are a praying family! We never mind extra pray - ers. :-) Surgery to remove a couple of nasty lymph nodes was yesterday and went great. Weekend in MI for the nephew's wedding was also wonderful. Just now coming up for air. Presently struggling thru OWow (my nickname for the Oscar Wao book) - my reading group is reading it for meeting Aug 18 or I'd probably set it aside. I do recommend the Beryl Markham volume tho. But truth be told, I've knitted more than I've read for the past week - I can carry on a conversation while knitting! :-)

    Not in ages. Ages. Might have to add her to my list. The problem is the stack presently sitting in my 'reading nest' is enormous - trying to read 6 in the next 2 weeks. I'll be off, in the air part of the time, at the hospital with my dad part of the time - expect to read Alexandre Dumas, Simon Winchester, Beryl Markham, and the Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (for my reading group), among others.

    Bees is one of my alltime favorites. (Not on my shelf because I had to draw the line somewhere - shelfari shelf is 2007-2008.) I've read a lot of Nicholas Sparks; is Walk the one with the teen with cancer? Sweet. I loved Notebook. I always have a couple or more going at once. I'm on the road a lot so there's always an audio in progress. And there's always a To Be Read in the car in case I get stuck in a waiting room somewhere without my current read, or knitting project. One of the women in my reading group owns a used/rare bookstore - so like you, I read a lot of used (gently, usually) books. I think I can get afford a better volume that way. I get my audio from audible.com, download and burn to CD. (iPod on my wishlist right now - then I will d/l and put it on the pod!) And while I'm always interested in what's new . . . I read the not-so-new as well. One of my favorite reads in the last couple of years was the Scarlet Pimpernel - written in . . . what? 1905 or thereabouts? You know, one of those titles I had always heard, but didn't know a thing about.

    A little slow - I had to stop and knit some baby booties for a friend! And I'm within 30 pages or so of finishing Love in the Time of Cholera so read a little on it last night - I am not loving this book . . . that everyone said I would. I got into the Tesla biography after finishing The Invention of Everything Else which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just amazed that his is not a household name. Haven't had time to look - anything new on your shelf?

    Sure. I'm pretty conservative, Christian, divorced (a long time); I do not discuss politics, except to say that I don't believe Pres Bush is responsible for everything that is wrong today; I work in the big bad oil & gas biz and I use reuseable grocery bags and conserve fuel and electricity; I am old enough that I no longer care much for self-help books. If you still want to be friends, I won't say no. I'm still interested in locating your book.

    I googled 'a step of faith' and many, many entries - care to give me a link, a publication date, or a last name? RR
