    Thanks for reading my poetry collection At Home in the Mountains.
    See "Feather Crown," a poem based on a true story from my childhood. I saw the crown for the first time as an adult professor. I have a newer book out by JSF as well titled Mountain Teacher--An Eastern Kentucky Teacher Tells His Story. It is a contemporary The Thread That Runs So True about teaching in the mountains. My web site is www.kenslone.com. There you will find a link to my myspace page. Thanks again for reading my poems.

    We are genuflecting. Thaaaannnnkkkk You for the great review of SINS OF THE FATHERS.
    Glenda's friends, not just because she reviewed our book, but because it is one of the very best book review sources in blog land. Check it out, I may go back to reading YA fiction because of her review in the area.
    http://www.readandlead.blogspot.com -- put it in your favorites and check in frequently. She has read and more importantly understood the book, which isn't true all reviewers. More than once I read a review for a book I'd read and wondered if it was the same book. Reader's Corner is a work of love.

    How is the blog coming? I'm sorry, but I lost the URL. Send it to me again. Ford was upset with me for telling that story about the dogs and their mess. I thought it was funny.

    Here it is bad weather. Rain, wind and only 15 degree. Could you send me a little sun, then I will send you some rain for the flowers and plants ;o)
    From the Discworld-series I like Sourcery, Intresting Times & Soul Music. The first in the serie, The colour of magic, is a little dull. Book 2 is much better, so please don't give up after number one. You can check wikipedia for a good list of books & subjects. It's so funny to see what he used for the books: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld

    With 'Here comes the sun' on my Ipod I say "goodnight" from here to you! (Gosh... it's early morning again!)

    Ooh, now I really jealous! You've seen them... alive. That must be a magical experience!
    If you want to read something funny, fantasy & SF you might want to give Terry Pratchett's Discworld series a try. Off to work for me now! Have a nice day with a lot of reading!

    Hi Glenda,

    Thanks for your friendship request. I gladly be your friend! I love your shelf with all the books about Indians and of course The Beatles. There so many of them on your shelf! I really get inspired by it. I wish I had that many books about the best British band. I got a few, but specially the old ones, are so expensive and rare here in Holland. It's always a good quest to find them for a good price.
    It must be fantastic to work in a library. It always was my childhood dream to become a librarian, a bookstore holder of a archaeologist. Working in a bookstore and being a historian comes near of that I think ;o)
    I hope we can exchange a lot of idea's about books and good reading. Looking at all the animal- and childrensbooks on your shelf, you might like the Chronicles of Ancient Darkness by Michelle Paver. It's about a boy Torak and his wolf who try to defeat the Soul Eaters, an evil clan of Mages, who want to take over the power. It takes place in the Stone Age. You might like them.
    Have a very nice day!

    Keep on reading!
    Monique
