Embroidery, cross-stitch or free-style is magical! I'm into any kind of needlework and bead work.
Post some pictures, Shakes, Lorna. We want to see!!! Onesecondglance, I stunned my kids (when they were teens) by hauling out some of my Deep Purple and Uriah Heep albums. Okay, they're on vinyl, which my grandson thinks is hilarious - "Why didn't they just put it on a CD?" <- This from a 10 year old. But have you listened to Deep Purple's Rockin' the Philmore or Deep Purple in concert with the Royal Philharmonic? Brilliant stuff. I just have to turn the volume down a bit now. (Must be getting old.) BTW. Love the book titles. Rock Music - for parental dummies?

Low-tech Lorna has no digital camera or smart phone. I'm sure your grandkids would think I'm just this side of relying on smoke signals (and maybe they'd be right!)

Tossing up old bands: Can (the German guys), Velvet Underground. And for guitar, Townshend, baby.
Glad I'm being watched...couldn't think of an interesting way to be bad anyway! |

*pokes head in*
Hi, guys. I'm kind of somewhat new to the M/T/S, as far as writing it. (The trunked WIP in my siggy is a Suspense, probably a very poor one but Suspense nonetheless). Right now, I'm working on an Urban Fantasy WIP for the second half of Nano, which ends on Saturday I think. Anyway, I do like a lot of M/T/S and Romantic Suspense. Um, I do tend to suffer from foot-in-mouth syndrome from time to time. So,.....yeah. Nice to meet you guys. *waves* |

Allo Silver-Midnight. As long as you like chocolate the foot-in-mouth syndrome will, in all probability, be tolerated. So... c'mon, fess up - what sort of chocoholic are you? Just don't mention nuts . . .

hey silver-m! Good to see you here. I love a good romantic suspense novel; if it has comedy, also great. Elizabeth Peters, the possibly underrated Susanna Kearsley, CS Harris, the late Ariana Franklin. Please tell me you'll be the next one of their ilk. Ilk. Ilk. (Suddenly thinking how strange a word this is. ilkilkilkilkilk. having one of those moments. Does every writer have those? Ilk. Illlllk)
Chocoholism is not required. If you hate all sugar, all crunchy snacks, all cheese and caffeine, that'd be a little odd. |

Hi folks. Nothing to add, nothing to offer, just been too long since I piped up in this forum and this thread seems the most active right now.
So.... Hello! |

Hi Mark of the terrific website. Any news on the book? Does release date seem impossibly far away?

We're taking a brief break from the madness that is Disney. People are rude! |

I'm getting some blurbs in (got one from Jeff Abbott, which was cool) and generally working on marketing stuff, but October does seem like a million years away, to be honest. You coming to Austin for the release party?

You have given me some more authors to check out in Romantic Suspense though, which is a good thing. (I had to look up the word 'ilk'. )Quote:

HJ that is cruel! I know this is MTS but "And a woman who... No, I'm going to stop there." is leaving me dangling, wanting to know what, why and when, maybe how.

Except when you're watching stories about that strung out little yellow bear.
Yeah, I'm talking about Winnie the Pooh! Always looking for his next smackeral of honey. We know what those stories are really about.

I collect teddy bears, have about one hundred. My favourite, at the moment is Clarence. He gets cuddled every night. Well, it stops me sleeping on my hands. Though it does not stop him from falling out of bed and me tripping over him when I get up and nearly whizzing out of the window. I sometimes think he is only here for the honey . . .
