I think the questions for books we have done as a group on 4MA might be good to look over too. The mods there seem to have such a good insight into what to ask. I still panic at the idea of doing a minor review on Amazon!

I'm really glad to hear you turned the corner. It's been such a process, and sometimes the reality comes in waves, you know what I mean? You think it's better and then it hits you again.

I *think* you'll be okay, given what you've said, but I won't give you any spoilers. Main thing is, I'm very glad to hear you like the characters. It's always a trick introducing a new series and because of the nature of the story there's no sit-down-have-tea-talk-about-feelings time that would be realistic in the beginning. I will be very interested to hear your overall impressions about how they develop as you continue.

And thanks again for doing those questions for the first book. Kevin put them on my website, I think.

Thanks. Yup - we turned a corner yesterday and the world tilted back to something more normal. Not that it won't have its moments but it is okay now and getting better so that is all to the good.

I do very much like your style. I like your characters too. I have a really hard time with kid stuff - am one of the ones who could not get past the first part of Field of Blood at all and gave up on Dead Run too even though the kid stuff was only at the very beginning. To be honest, that bothers me more than your story does - the kid was built up as a person and then killed off and it was not necessary to the story. That did me in. I am a bit better when there is a reason to include it if that makes any sense.

Ah, I didn't realize re: 'no kids'. I look forward to what you have to say... glad you like the style.

Hope things are going okay.

Okay so he printed the first hundred pages - only it crapped out at 61 so he has to try again. I read those and am suitably impressed other than the subject matter which I am ONLY reading because I like you (I am one of the no kids allowed ones). We will print the rest hopefully tomorrow and I can see how it all goes - I do like your style very much.

I know how that is Lynne. I seem to be able to find ways to mess up the simplest things!

Sweet Cheeks? Okay. I won't say a word.

Finally got a cartridge for the printer, now I just have to get Colin to make it go. I am useless with this stuff (great with playing at making webpages and graphics but useless with printers and scanners - go figure)

Norby, NO, you cannot call me that.

You have to consider the source. I did, after all, call him Push Daddy.

I can't believe someone just called Sandra Sweet Cheeks and is still living. Are you not feeling well? And can I call you that?

Good lord...

I think you'll fit right in here Tony!

Hey, Sweet Cheeks! You still using that name? Friend of mines (he's big in chemicals!!) told me you were.

Hummm - now I have to think. How much?? Will have to get back to you on that.

Okay, how much can I buy the truth for?

I was sworn to secrecy

Geez, who've you been talking to? I have to know which bribes are working!

Rep huh? All I have heard about you has been good so that just don't carry no weight kid. Maybe EvilKev could shed light on your darker side?

Me? Good? Well, maybe sometimes. But don't let word slip out. I have a rep to maintain!

Oh you are a good girl! Thanks.

Let me know when you have time to write it --- I am sure I can be a great help. Might want to list it as comedy though (somehow I don't think anyone would take my very sincere ideas very seriously)
