You seem to have a boiling mind. I feel mine is always running 300 km/per hour and it would be so great to just find a place in the sun and to be able to write freely and with the amount of time needed. Im sure that after you finish that story, not only will you feel more light and free, you will a...

Hi farmgirlshelley, it's nice to hear from you. I hope you get to visit England sometime in the not too distant future, it's a wonderful country. The USA is very special to me too though now, I've done a lot of traveling and exploring over the years in the US, and love the place I now call home. (In...

Hi Mar, I'm only able to read 4-5 books per week as I'm a full time dad to my twin girls --- I recently converted their cribs to "grown-up" beds, and they frequently escape to play when they should be sleeping if I don't sit in the room keeping an eye on them. It's an ideal time to read my...

<t>I adore the Kindle but didn't really warm to the Nook, (or Barnes and Noble for that matter.) I've shopped with Amazon for many years, (200+ orders), and never once had a problem. With Barnes and Noble though I've had many problems --- the biggest issue that comes straight to mind was having to r...

Started to read ''McCarthey's Bar''. The Irish were lovable,the English uptight,the Germans humourless and the Italians had Style. I couldn't read more than a chapter. Sounds like a wonderful character study, (yes, that was sarcasm) --- the author must have read "Stereotypes for Dummies" ...

Just curious. :? When you pick up a new book, do you decide in the first two pages if you like the book or not? Also how long will you read a book that is not interesting you? No, I don't thankfully! I try to endure a slow start until the main meat of the story at least. For example, I would have g...

Hello all, I'm a mid-thirties Englishman from Yorkshire who relocated to Wyoming, USA a few years ago. I'm very happily married with 2 year old twin girls. I'm an avid reader, reading between two to five novels per week. I enjoy writing fiction too although this is a fairly recent discoery of mine t...
