    Charity is never so lovely as when one has lost consciousness that one is practicing charity. 'You mean I helped you? I was enjoying myself. I was just doing my dance. It helped you, that's wonderful. Congratulations to you. No credit to me.

    I just don't like vampires so I'm out of the loop on all these vampire books. Don't like much wizardry, horror, etc. Maybe I'm chicken little. When certain images get in to my mind, I will definitely have nightmares about them for days!

    The Book of Night Women, was boring to me...I was in about over a third of the book and got tired of reading it. I might try to read it again...but I don't know--I hate to quit reading something because its way to slow. I just finish read Up at the College by Michele Andrea Bowen, the author of Church Folk...it was pretty good.

    Hi Phyllis,

    It's funny that of all people here on Shelfari, you should post a question on my book.
    That's because I've been planning to contact you myself, once the book is released.

    I've been following your review work on Blogspot and Amazon for the past year or two, and really like how you approach and analyze stories. I'll be sending you a package later this year.

    Till then, warm greetings from a sunny Aruba,
    Anouska

    If you look it up on Amazon, the Kindle note is just beside the book. Jim Duggins, THE POWER: A NOVEL OF VOODOO. I really am eager to have YOUR opinion since I've read your responses to other books ... this one, is historical fiction but based upon a real woman, escaped slave, voodoo queen, entrepreneur, civil rights activist (all this between 1826-1857... another volume SLAVE STEALER due out this fall).

    Regards, Jim D.

    I'm sorry, but "well, duh!!" I don't know how to do that, the posting the purchase link. If you go to Amazon.com and look up Jim Duggins, book name is THE POWER: A NOVEL OF VOODOO. If you went to THE POWER alone, I think sometimes people get lost because there are so many books using the word "Power".

    Not the same kind of book at all, but I'm currently working on an "on line" book ... which my webmaster must removed a couple of glitches before it's ready ... but it's a psychological thriller told from the point of view of a prison psychologist interviewing the young prisoner. I'll surely let you know when it's ready. I intend to release it one chapter each week to elicit comments from would be readers and I think you probably could offer advice I need.

    regards, jim

    Take care,

    Jim

    It's on Amazon.com and available on Kindle as well. I'm really eager to hear what you think ... I worked on the book off and on (while teaching) for several years, then progressed through the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest, but have little feedback from people I don't know, but whom I believe to be readers.

    Hi, Phyl: I've been out of touch for three weeks ... but I'm back now ... I'm currently reading HARRIET AND ISABELLA a novel by Patricia O'Brien about Harriet Beecher Stowe and her sister involving their family's responses to Henry Beecher's trial for adultery in 1872. It's a wonderful book in terms of deep characterization and the sensitivies of intelligent, liberal family members presented with a moral dilemma.

    Good to be back. Jim D

    I definitely plan to read the next book by this author. I've seen similar "class divisions' while growing up - light skin/dark skin, clubs belong to, etc.
    I'm nearly finished with The Urban Hermit (funny memoir), starting The gGrl in the Green Sweater, about a chapter into Enrique's Journey and two chapters in to Jump at the Sun. I'm polishing up a piece I'm to read on Saturday about strong women. Send me some recommendations. Thanks for taking the time to post.
