A theory --
I think that creativity, by its nature, means being outside of the norm. There's a heavy social price for straying too far from acceptable behavior within a society. Which frequently means that creative people have to either (1) choose to "behave" which denies a part of...
3 Books in a Year?
Yup. And two Anthologies with short stories, and my son moving back to Denver, and conferences where either Cathy's teaching or I'm on a panel...
Hi Guys! Missed you, but, um, I've been a little SWAMPED. Hope you liked the excerpt.

I really didn't get into the other series by Parker as much as Spenser. I think Hawk has changed as well as Parker's presentation of him. I think being around Spenser and Susan has given him more of a sense of "family" than he used to have and that, in some ways, has made him grow up, but...
For the record, it takes a while for people to warm up to you here. But it's basically a good bunch. I'm a relative newbie myself, but I'm glad I stop by.
So - let's get to know each other better:
(Personal details) :
- Where are you from? (Country, state, city...) Currently? Texas...
Ok
1) When I buy a book, start reading it and someone else in my household decides "OOOh that looks cool" and scampers off with it and starts reading it when I'm cooking dinner or "indisposed".
2) When someone borrows my book, reads it in the tub and drops it.
3) When someone borrows...
You're Love in the Time of Cholera Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by
sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the...
Aha!!!!
You're Malta!
With a strange attraction to crosses and falcons, you are one of the most mysterious and unknown people in your group of friends, your community, or pretty much any category you want to mention. You keep to yourself, but see yourself as a knight in shining armor, ready...
Personal Opinion
I think that marijuana should be treated the way alcohol and tobacco are. Legalized but regulated. I think it would bring in income to the governments, regulate quality.
I think that the drug itself doesn't lead to harder drugs, but I do believe the associations do...
Purgatory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and...
Thanks guys!
Thanks! I feel so welcome!
I'm liable to be kind of sporadic about stopping by. Cathy and I got some very good news, (a 3 book deal for 2006 :D), but that means that we're going to be busy writing (which will impact my computer time). But I intend to stop by here at least a...
Hi Guys
Jim Butcher's The Dresden Chronicles are a lot of fun.
I liked Eddings, but it's been a few years since I've read any of his stuff. Pretty much stopped after the Mallorean Chronicles. I just started on the Discword books, (Terry Pratchett I think -- but I may be wrong). They're...
Hi guys! I've been gone a while. (I'd like to think some of you missed me, but you may not have even noticed.) Anyway I see there are a lot of new folks here so I wanted to say HI and that I hope to be able to come by more often again and get back in the swing of things.

The Penguins
No, not death to the penguins. We need villains for our heroes to fight! The penguins don't even need costuming -- they're already in their tuxes.
Suggestion
I agree with the wabbit. But also, if you know the author's name you can call your book store or local library and have them check "Books in Print." Some libraries even have access to a listing (Don't remember the name of it) that covers some of the out of print books if you know...
Hi Guys/I'm Back
Hi guys -- been gone for a few days. Thought I'd pop by and look what I saw!!
I love to read. I love to read almost ANYTHING. But I tend to divide my reading into:
"beach books" which are the written equivalent of junk food or action movies. They're meant to be read...
