Hello all, I'm so sorry I've been out of touch as of late. Sometimes life just gets in the way. There is so much to do all the time. Website, blog, research, writing, rewrites, edits, and I am looking for a new agent. Not to mention I volunteered to assist the local Elks Organization to assist with ...

Tom, My, my you are thorough. I'm happy to know you have been on my site recently. I hope you signed up for the contest. Even if you don't like my genre, perhaps you know someone who does. And I truly am giving away four free novels. BTW, have you seen my blog as of late? I wrote some things you mig...

Rancher, Welcome. Yes, it is very difficult to find a 'good' publisher. And most will not take your submissions w/o an agent. HA! Those are even harder to find. Keep at it if you don't like the one you have. Don't become discouraged. Keep plodding along. Someone will take notice, eventually. Big sto...

Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed a few of his novels, but in many cases I have had to skip past a few pages because he tends to drone on and on about ... well ... nothing! Not ever...

Starbucks - Iced, double shot, skinny carmel latte is the only way to go for my taste buds.

I have suggested my books in the past. But I have found that most folks on this forum are not to keen on fictional works. However, I do believe this one is worth a look. The title is Highway Destinations . http://www.booktalk.org/userpix/2033_thumbnailimage1_1.jpg Lonely highways lead to lonely live...

Pen wrote But after all, to a large extent, we are what we appear. In the same sense ... we hear and interpret what we want to hear. As far as TPoDG is concerned, I think we all take what we want from the literature. Homosexuality, religous conotations, good vs. evil, etc... As beauty is in the eye ...

TPoDG is simultaneously a Gothic horror story, a science-fiction fantasy, a homosexual allegory, a cautionary tale about corruption, and a manifesto for Wilde's beloved Aesthetic movement, a philosophy that gives priority to beauty and its particular demands over any other consideration ... moral, n...
