About Me:
"Reach for the stars. Even if you fail, you will have climbed to a great height." -- Newton Love Sr (my dad)
I have packed at least three lifetimes into the one I now am living. What haven't I done? The list is short, and getting shorter! Most people who hear my life story tell me "Bullshit! Nobody can have done all that!" It's all true, except the culturally required embellishments. read my bio. (Sorry, temporarily on the bounce...)

On my spot on MySpace, I present a much broader spectrum of topics, especially American Indian topics on My Blog.
I Am A:
Reader, Writer
Website:

Even going by genre and era, it could take a while for the several hundred of them. If could choose only one, it would be Reaching Out by Henri J. W. Nouwen.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
Do Android Sheep Dream?, Blade Runner, Princess Bride, Casablanca, Dead On Arrival (1950s Edmund O'Brien), Maltese Falcon, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Time Bandits, Brazil, ...

    You beat me to it with the Lone Ranger reference, so you must be my kind of folk. I slightly knew John Archer who has since passed. He was at the time the last living person who played had The Shadow on the radio. His daughter is Anne Archer.

    Hiya there!
    I am so proud to be your friend, and not only a virtual one. I was so happy Dominique made me discover your first novel and I was very proud when you accepted my ideas for a starting point for a novel.

    Delphine, I was about to give up writing when you read the draft of my first novel. You wouldn't let me quit. I'm forever in your debt.
    Professor, I am still your student.

    Hi Newt! What do you write? Are you working on a second novel? I'm on my second now and wondering how - and if - I'll get through it ... boy, some days you gotta wonder why we put ourselves through this...

    But we manage, don't we?

    Cheers!

    Wowza, Newt! Thank you so much for your note and for offer of scientific genius. Your note is the latest in a series of CUPID kismets...while writing, I walked past a group of black-tie clad folks standing on the steps of NYC's Puck Building.

    Intrigued, I asked what they were doing.

    "It's a wedding!" said a puckish looking man. "Wanna dance"

    Seconsd later, I found myself dancing (in a jean skirt) at a stranger's black tie wedding.

    "My name is Jimmy Love," my cupid said as we danced.

    Any chance you have NYC relatives who invite strangers to dance? :)


    A relative, perhaps? :)

    Hi Newt,
    how's things? I find myself hardly able to do anything else but write my daily pages for the new book, which is great fun, but exhausting as well.
    At least I have fast access to the net now over here in France...
    See you in Goslar! Anne

    I love your jack-of-all-trades blog. Guess I'm sorta there too. I've tried doing a little bit of a lot of things. Hey, my maiden name is Love too and I'm from Pennyslvania - we could have 6 degrees of relative-ness. PS: Do you speak French, or are you faking it?

    Newt, you have a seriously quirky brain...assuming you translated that poem sober. Who the heck is Henri Nouwen, by the way? Never heard of the dude.

    Aug 27, 2007

  • Cyndi Martin

    I'll be there!!! Can't wait!

  • Louisa Christy

    Aye, that it is. Me Da' was part Cherokee. What a mixture. My mother is German and I was born there as well, but am a proud citizen of the US. So, a hello to you cousin(?). lol

    "If a author writes a novel in the forest, and nobody reads it, did it make a sound?"

    Love this! Great quote. Nice to meet you, Newt!

    Wow, that was a hard comment to follow before my morning coffee. :)
    In addition to free thinking, crime novels are the only place I can kill people and still go free, too.
    gotta love that.

    The traffic signs are out there! You know in this technological age it is possible that I can be both one and many, and indeed every time you see a traffic sign don't you wonder? What is it thinking, can it see inside? And with my Italian links, I think the conclusion is forgone. Al Capone, schmone.

  • Kimberly Davis

    Thanks, Newt. I agree. Where would we writers be without readers? And if not for us to gear our writing towards the readers, then shame on us. =] Good luck on novel number 4!

    Oct 1, 2007

  • Katy Carr

    So it has! We are taking a break from infesting traffic signs, and are thinking through our new host target. It could be anything.

    Congratulations on your foreign sales! Who's the publisher? Film rights too. Very exciting.
    I'm about done with agents too. All they've done for me is get my hopes up and slow me down.
