At 8:40am on April 10, 2007, Patti McCoy Jacob said…: I love John Grisham. Partly because of his work, partly because of his face. Oh baby...

Along the lines of dance, I started dancing when I was seven, taught dance in the areas of musical theater and jazz for several years during my early 20's, and now my children dance, with ballet as their cornerstone (of course). My nephew's wife danced on Broadway for years in Cats, Swing, and as Tiger Lily alongside my brother's wife Cathy Rigby who played Peter Pan. As for Cathy, before she entered the gymnastics world, she spent 12 years doing hardcore ballet. She and my brother just bought my children's dance studio this past Sept and are bringing in top notch ballet instructors from LA. Something this studio desperately needs. Anyway, Mary, nice to meet you, and welcome!

At 1:55pm on March 31, 2007, Steven Torres said…: Oh my, Missing in PPR. That's a tough one - not too kind to the kiddies as you have probably figured out by now. That one's the fourth in the series. Interestingly, (to me) that was te second book I wrote in the series. The first book published was the third I wrote, etc. Let me know if you'd like to see another of my books when you've finished and I'll send one along.

Another book, outside of the series, will be published this July.

How many have you written? Your writing has a certain, unforced quality, yet you have a distinctive voice. Much better than keeping mountain lions out of your backyard!

At 8:38am on March 31, 2007, Steven Torres said…: Wow! You like Steven Torres books. Guess what? So do I! Have you read them all? I can send you one if you're missing any. Unless, of course, you mean some other Steven Torres. There is one that writes about keeping mountain lions out of your backyard...

Inspiration

Inspiration is a sometime thing. Sometimes you've got it, sometimes you haven't. I've always thought, maybe wrongly, that the unconscious works for you. If you go around with your stories and your characters in your head, then you're bound to make progress. Maybe that's just the way I work, probably to relieve myself of guilt. I work every day, steadily, but I don't just write words, no matter what. Sometimes it's a paragraph, sometimes two or three pages. I don't think "writers' block" exists,… Continue
