Yes, it’s true. After all this time, I’m finally giving it away.

What are you waiting for?
ENJOY!!

It’s nearly Halloween!!
(and if you’re looking for a great Halloweeny read, Loose Id’s HOWL might just fill the bill—three authors, three stories, all werewolves in e-book and print—what’s not to like?)

Okay, enough shameless promo, lol. I’m lovin’ this season. So many television stations are playing scary movies right now, and I’m eating it up. And if you haven’t caught it yet, the Bravo channel has an EXCELLENT show they’re re-running intermittently called “THE 100 SCARIEST MOVIE MOMENTS.” Commentary, quips, and clips from some of the best horror flicks ever.
Get a taste!! :twisted:

And stay tuned to this channel too—free reads a-comin’, with links to others. :waving:

I’m blogging at the Chica’s site today—and I’ve invited a friend named Dick.

Come say hello, and learn to secret behind Real Magic in romance. :waving:

A small rant…
Just a teeny, tiny little rant before embracing my bed, which is calling to me…
And I know I can’t be the only one who feels this way, but~~~~

I WILL BE SO GLAD WHEN THIS FREAKING ELECTION IS OVER!!!!
:uzi: :uzi: :uzi: :uzi: :uzi:

I am so SICK of the negative-campaigning, mud-slinging, backstabbing-bitchery going on in what is laughingly called “the political arena” these days, I can’t STAND it!

When did we, as a people, decide it was okay to allow these buttholes to run for the privilege of representing us by using such tactics? They don’t even bother to say what they STAND for anymore—just what the “OTHER GUY/GAL” has supposedly done wrong! I don’t care what party you support—they’re all slinging the same shit.
Do they think we’re such sheep that this crap really works? And here’s an even SCARIER thought—is it possible they’re RIGHT? Because every year it just gets worse and worse.
Effing incredible.

And now we have a nationally syndicated radio talk-show host (who’s been no angel himself) accusing someone who’s asserting his right of free speech (remember that?) of DELIBERATELY EXAGGERATING AND/OR USING HIS PARKINSON’S DISEASE TO DRUM UP SYMPATHY FOR HIS FAVORITE PARTY??!!

I would say we’ve pretty well reached rock-bottom.

I WOULD say that, but I know better.
Wait until the NEXT election… :poof:

“I specialize in murders of quiet, domestic interest.”

The very genteel-looking older woman above has always been one of my heroes.

So when a traveling friend recently came across a battered-but-legitimate first edition of her book, “The Murder of Roger Ackroyd” in a remote bookstore—selling for practically nothing—I was more than happy to accept. :yesyesyes:

For those of you with only a passing acquaintance, this is Dame Agatha Christie.
Author of over 80 mystery novels, she has reportedly sold over two billion books worldwide.
According to Guiness, she is the best-selling writer of fiction of all time, and, with the exception of Shakespeare and The Bible, the best-selling author of ANY kind.
Her stage play, “The Mousetrap”, is the longest-running play in the history of the London theater, and most of her books have been adapted in some form to film or television.
And while other best-selling authors blazed then flickered away, Agatha very calmly kept churning out one best-selling book after another, often 2 or 3 in a year. Just a little old lady sitting quietly at home, plotting the murders of dozens of people. God, I love it, lol!

I fell in love with Christie’s work as a teenager, and devoured every bit I could get my hands on. I’d guess I’ve read at least 98% of it all—and I can honestly say I never came away from a single one of them disappointed.

Even if you’ve seen the films or watched the series—if you’re ever in the mood for a good read in a succinct, simple style, with a mystery that’ll have you whipping through the pages, wanting to curl up before a fireplace, and bring a little smile to your lips long after you’ve finished, I HIGHLY recommend Agatha Christie.

Quite a Dame, that one. :mrgreen:
