    Hi Jeff
    I'll pop over and have a look at storycasting.com. Sounds interesting! With three books on the go, I have quite a few characters going around in my head at any one time!
    Best wishes,

    Hi Jeff, Thank you for the offer to put a book on your website. I am not an author. I have been looking for someone to write the history of my father and uncles, gun toting smugglers, involving the Black Medalian Grang and her sons. My family had nothing to do with the death of Black Medalian. This took place during Prohibition in West Palm Beach, Florida, U.S.A.
    Thank you for the offer anyhow. Bruno-uno or my other name Howard H.

    Mr. Reid. My name is Howard Hawse. I think you might be interested in my father's story. I am the last male relative of the notorious Carroll Gang of West Palm Beach, FL during Prohibition. This is a story kicker from real life. My wet nurse, Martha Woods, hid me in the crib with her own baby to keep me from being kidnapped by the Black Medalian Gang.
    AW, caught your eye, didn't I! If you are interested we can go on to what happened to the 50 Chinese being smuggled from Cuba, the decapitating of two carloads of people, a caravan of undertakers and their hearses going north. Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it!!! The name I've used most of my life is Bruno, not Howard. You, of all people, should know, "truth is stranger than fiction". I live about 12 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge. ciao for now Bruno

    Okay, I'm finally responding! I think the music was the Twilight Zone theme though I can hardly remember. Oh, yeah that new character without a face? Well, I kind of found a face but it's an avatar photo. I need to find out who created it. Any ideas on how to research that? Or, would I just have to go into the site to find the contributing avatar creator? In any case, more characters have sprung up out of my head like Athena from Zeus' cranial cavity so I'm trying to find actors/actresses that might fit my characters in this same new story.
    In any case, hopefully I'll have some time to contribute more here.

    Jeff, a month ago you helped me with a problem. In my book club group I have two books that we were reading and now we have read the books. And I cannot get them to move to the We Have Read shelf. Then I want to add the January book to the We Are Reading Shelf. Can you help me again? I sure would appreciate it.

    Just finished Heart-Shaped Box and saw what you wrote about the cast; Rob Zombie is exactly who I thought of from the get-go.

    That would be fantastic, Jeff. I've signed up on Storycasting.com. What a marvellous idea for a site! I'll definitely pop back and do some casting. Look for my friend request on MySpace.

    Hi dear friend...
    this poem donate for you and your friends in new year :

    " sometimes it takes adverse conditions
    for people to reach out to one another

    sometimes it takes bad luck
    for people to to understand their goals better

    sometimes it takes a storm
    for people to appericate the calm

    sometimes it takes being hurt
    for people to be more sensitive to feeling

    sometimes it takes doubt
    for people to trust one another

    sometimes it takes seclusion
    for people to find out who they really are

    sometimes it takes disillusionment
    for people to be come informed

    sometimes it takes feeling nothing
    for people to feel evrery thing

    sometimes it takes our emotions and feeling
    to be compeletely penetrated
    for people to open up to love

    we have gone through many of thing
    I wish we don't forget that
    we are ready for love
    in every moments... "

    merry Christmas

    You recently wrote: Thanks, Amanda & team, for the ability to add books to the Group bookshelf without having to put them on my own shelf first. MUCH appreciated!! You folks are really whipping this site into shape! Can you lend me some of your programmers, so I can make improvements to my own site? ;-)

    I have not found this to be true. Several days ago I added 12, now 13, books to our group and they all appeared on my shelf. Can you tell me what I did wrong? After writing this, I think my question really is how to post to the group without having the books appear on shelf?! Any thoughts. Thank you very much

    Let me know how and I shall get the ebook to you. It is only a short, and a quick read. The blurb for the book goes as follows:
    Hajj has lived on Jaguar Island for a long time. He has stayed away from the main lands, keeping to himself and watching over his people. The natives of Jaguar Island know him as protector, for he is offering them sanctuary when the world would have driven them to extinction for their differences. Many of them are shifters in their own rights. There are a few wolves, a variety of other species, but Hajj is the last Tangatar of his kind, the persecution left few if any of the great cats or so he thinks…

    The home he'd built for his mate has been stolen. His hopes of a family and a future, usurped by humans, his island falsely claimed by a vicious and greedy human. To Hajj’s surprise, the man has brought a young and beautiful wife, leaving her alone and untouched with only a sour and cruel housekeeper for company. The mistreatment has to end, and Hajj is determined to save the young woman at any cost.

    But for Hajj, there is a surprise waiting in the night, a surprise called LOVE.

    LOL Send me your email addy, and i shall send you a copy of the 7K wonder! it is just a shourt, and I doubt it is worth much. If you don't have time or don't want to, it is allright, It doesn't matter either way! LOL It was the result that came from a dare, one of the "I Dare You To Enter" this contest type things between friends, only I kinda lost the dare. *shrug*

    ROFLMAO! I have only one published, and that self-published after the short contract ran out. It is the one whose cover I use as an avatar. I have only one other finished, I am not a very good writer, but thanks anyway, Jeff.

    I finally got around to putting an announcement on the Romance at Heart Magazine for Storycasting.com. It is on the index page at this URL: http://romanceatheart.com/index.html I hope the gals and guys who read RaH will stop by or even join. We have some very talented authors at RaH, and they produce some interesting and good work.

    Thanks Jeff.

    That is so true, many of them must just see the $$ signs flash in front of their eyes, and then lose all their senses... i'm afraid that must have happened with one of my favourite chick-lit authors, Sophie Kinsella ~ although the movie based on her 'Shopaholic' series is not out yet, i am debating about whether i want to go and see it. From what i have heard they have ruined the whole thing (in my opinion) ~ not just the cast, but the fact that they have changed important parts of the storyline to the point where we won't even recognize it being the same story... not to mention the fact that they have shifted the whole thing to New York, when it is based in England (and of course that is not going to work, English humour is a lot different to American humour). I'm appalled!
    On a more positive note, i am so impressed with the way J.K Rowling stepped in on her Harry Potter movies, and refused them to turn it into a Hollywood movie, insisting that they had British actors playing the parts. I am sure that is why the movies have been so successful :)

    Oh, no offense, btw... although i am actually British, i consider myself a Kiwi since i have been here a long time now (since '93).
