    When posting the Chiller reminder earlier I thought your name looked familiar. I have read all of your books, I love them!!! Especially The Red Church, that was my favorite so far. The Home was good too. Ok I am done gushing...

    More exciting news at the Suspense & Thrillers Group…as you might already know that Keith Katsikas, author of “2060: The Newton Prophecies” will be leading a discussion on his book. We don’t have a date set up yet, but will in a couple of weeks.

    In the meantime, Amanda Stevens, author of THE DOLLMAKER, has also agreed to lead the discussion for May’s Group Read, which is THE DOLLMAKER. I’m really excited as this is something new and might become a new trend with our group discussions. If you’ve already read the book, come join us. If not, see if you can grab a copy. There’s still time as the discussion won’t begin until the first week of May.

    P.S. If you'd be interested in doing this with one of your books, please let me know.

    Dear Scott: I hope my novel has as much success as yours. Do you use your goats to recycle your old manuscripts? My debut novel just came out last week. It's called HUNTING THE KING (not Elvis). If you have the chance, please check it out. The YouTube book trailer is awesome. Here are the details:


    HUNTING THE KING is a fast-paced page-turner that follows archaeologist Molly O'Dwyer into war torn Iraq in search of the remains of Jesus. ForeWord Magazine says: "Fans of intellectual thrillers and historical fiction will find a worthy new voice in Clenott. His best invention may be Molly O’Dwyer, a genuinely likable heroine who more than holds her own in a man’s world. An ambitious scientist, she is also an observant Catholic whose heart and mind don’t always agree. Given such an auspicious start, the sequel can't come too soon." Molly is an in-your-face woman with a mysterious past who is about to go on the adventure of a lifetime.

    To get a good sense of how exciting the novel is check out the heart-pounding trailer for the book at http://www.kunati.books/hunting-the-king-peter-clenott/. Or you can view it on YouTube or my web site at http://www.peterclenott.com.

    The sequel, TRACES OF A LIFE, has already been completed, as well, the first two books in a series with Molly O’Dwyer. In TRACES, Molly begins uncovering her own past while digging on an island in Boston harbor. Murder and cover-up and a mysterious past that many people, even those closest to her, don’t want revealed.

    If you have the chance, Scott, please let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Hey My Shelfari Friend!

    Just wanted to give you the heads up on my novel “Lovely, I Die” Available now!
    A housewife turned serial killer. “FOR EVERY WOMAN WHO WANTED REVENGE BUT ONLY IMAGINE IT....VANESSA DOES IT FOR YOU!

    A secluded housewife with dissociative identity disorder conceals human body parts in her sculptures. That would be the headlines of the Houston newspaper if she’s ever caught.
    Vanessa Morrison never plans to see those headlines. She never planned to become a murderess either. She wanted excitement in her secluded world of clay sculpturing within an abusive marriage, but nothing like this.

    When she discovers her husband’s affair with her neighbor Angela Reynolds and the scheme with her psychologist to institutionalize her, she realizes everyone around her is strategically placed. Vanessa is not sure whom she can trust and spirals headfirst into her personality disorder. Killing her victims one by one concealing them inside her sculptures.

    To Order…Go to
    www.freewebs.com/novelistgal/ or
    www.publishamerica.com

    “Don’t Forget! I’ll be on Shelfari’s group “ Flappers” “ Book Read for April” for my novel “Hypnotic” Hope you ordered your copy! Amazon.com, Barnes & Nobles, etc..
    I’ll see you there!

    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

    Someone told me about that you can click on a person's shelf and look at the bottom left for "books in common". If you click on that, it'll show you what they are. Pretty neat! I'm going to bug all my buddies ...

    Books in common: 3

    Howdy. Thanks for the note. Our group is pretty small, but fun and helpful all the same. Lately i've been writing more poetry than anything, but I finished a short story rough draft yesterday. I've been bouncing around ideas for a novel for years so...who knows.
    The mountains are a wonderful place to find inspiration, don't you think?

    Hi. I've accepted your Friend invitation. Thanks for asking me on.

    BTW: I agree regarding Dr. Seuss. The man is a genius but makes it look so easy.
