Thanks for the comments guys, and the reminder to visit... :)
It's been a heck of a year, so I've had to cut back a lot on my 'forumizing'. Good problems though, trying to cope with our publishing and bookselling expanding nicely for the past 9 months.
Now that I've got a few of our...
Long time since I read those Eric--don't have the books anymore--but I still recall one about 2 professors and a murder attempt with a billiard ball! I agree, very good short story writer.

Heh, had to chuckle seeing a thread "Historical Novels" started by "TheTimeIsNow" :D
Robert Graves [probably best known for the fictional I Claudius has written some fine historical non-fiction, mainly centered around the Roman-Greek eras.
If pre-history interests you, try Jean Auel's...
Are you talking about the movie Cider House Rules Alicia? I didn't see it, but I'd imagine the adult themes in the book would have been toned down considerably for general release. It's a long time since I read the book, but I'm fairly sure incest was one of the major themes in it.
Then...
Girl Interrupted is an excellent movie, see it if you haven't already--it was my intro to that fine actress Angelina Jolie. I don't remember incest being part of it though?
The best place to find novels/works dealing with incest is likely to be from about 200 years ago when the topic was a...
Hi Pat,
Yep, I was dragged up around Limerick. Lived in Belfast for a short while, but never made it to Derry. And just to prove I visited your site, let me say:
In terms of quality time--if you like--at the end of the day it's eclectic, if you will. :D
It's wonderful to see you're now...
In short, they are. We only do PODs for promotional purposes, plus whatever quantity the author may be able to sell themselves to personal contacts. POD is not marketable to the general public.
I think ebooks are the only viable option for small publishers and authors--but of course that's...
I haven't seen this movie yet, but I think I've read all of Ludlum's books--he's my favorite thriller author after the masterful John LeCarre.
I think Ludlum's early books are excellent, but he deteriorated in his later ones--can't give you a 'turning point' offhand, I'll see if I still have...
It's rare for me to prefer a movie to the book, but there are a few:
Marathon Man is a fine book, but an outstanding movie I think. Probably Dustin Hoffmann's best performance, Laurence Olivier in fine form, with Roy Scheider and Wiliam Devane also strong support. Very atmospheric and...
Hi everyone, this looks like a great place for book lovers :) I found my way here via Darren's sig in SitePoint, where I'm a fellow "enthusiast".
I'm from Ireland, so of course I was reared on books. Reading and playing various sports were my main interests right up thru college--yep, took...
