Hey, everyone, be sure to check out Chester Campbells's new blog: Murderous Musings. The five-member panel includes yours truly on Fridays. http://murderousmusings.blogspot.com/
Well, maybe we're joined through the cosmos some way or other! And thank you for the congrats for NaNoWriMo . I won't get to do it this year bc the book I'm co-authoring has GOT to get thru the editing phases. We expect some rejections, but we have to birth that baby first. LOL!
OMG sistah! Well good for you! So you had your own car, too? There's stories to be told there and they're popping in my head. Dang this having to work stuff...I want to write full time. LOL.
Thanks for sharing that and for being a friend!
Blessings,
Jeannie
Hi again, I didn't manage to find your books in Borders today, supposedly our 'biggest' bookstore but that doesn't really mean anything because they're full of cook books & movie tie-ins right now. I'll go on looking in other bookstores & I left a 'query' for books by you at the counter (just in case they have a buyer who's paying attention!)
Yes, they were gorgeous. The one with the dark around her eyes was sold back to the Mother's breeder. And she's just qualified for Crufts! Pls. put yours up!
Now then I've always been so interested in film. Particulary the Noir stuff--the 1940s to 1950s. I really consider those films to be so artistic. Postman Always Rings Twice, Double Indemnity. I mean they achieved with their actor's facial expressions and tones of voice what no amount of humping and bumping could ever duplicate (in my opinion). Sexual attraction and manipulation smouldered--and we all got the idea! (more than)!
I wish I could live there and research material and set my novels there. (hopefully published novels)! I'd go mad, if I could.
I think that when you put them on your page, they automatically go on the main page but I wouldn't swear to it. Not too clever about the workings on this site! and I've been here a year. I mean I still don't know how to put music up from the computer--I only add things from other people! so best ask someone with a few more grey cells!
No, it's Jane Greer. They made a few films together. I think that one was called Out of the Past. There was one where she was a villian and it's great! Can't recall the title of that now though
Wonderful, bewar though if you have a weak constitution keep a trash can handy.
I will keep you updated as to the day. by the way Go to www.sedonatalkradio.com and then "Now That's What I'm Talking About!" and off you go.
If someone is new to the site, then they SUBSCRIBE NOW (Free) and that's it! I will be interviewed on this blog talk show on July 3rd at 7PM. I think you will enjoy it. Tell all your friends and neighbors as well - even your enemies if you have any lol. I will send out a reminder as it gets closer.

Hi Jean,
Thank you for that compliment. Yes I would say your roots were indeed southern imbedded.
Stay tuned for next Monday's blog. I will be doing one each Monday on that passion of mine. I have loved it since I watched "Have Gun will Travel and Wanted Dead or Alive." It took half of my adult life to get there.
As you can see the book coming out in Sept is a true crime. It will knock your socks off the book before it while fiction is more or less a prelude to the true crime.
Stay tuned.
Very Humbly,
Yvonne
I think it would make a great novel! go for it!
I did go back to the States after my divorce from my first husband but came back--too used to it here.
I live (married here again)in semi-rural Yorkshire and I like it. although sometimes miss glitz and glamor of a big city, -but we can go to London for that, really.
It's changed a lot here. although where I am, there really isn't any crime--which is how I like it. Don't actually think I could live in a big city anymore--and that's me saying that a former New Yorker!
Glad you like the place, Jean. I've deleted the photos for you, but in the future all you have to do is click on the photo then find the Delete link at its top right.
I'm not seeing any blank comment boxes from you, maybe you're referring to the blank box for further comments?
Jean,
Hope you get a chance to read 13 DAYS. Where in Texas do you travel?
L. A. really does come from my initials---and, a key scene in the book is set there. Good luck with your books!
Hey jean! I bet you could also say it's filled with all sorts of creative "people!" and I have no doubt that it probably is!
were you ever tempted to research a book about famous Hollywood scandals/murders/ i.e. the tawdry lurid stuff that sells well, which I like to read sometimes (in between the coffee table books)?!!!
second wow! Thanks for that! I see you're in Wyoming now. Is Hollywood, shall we say, as eccentric as it's supposed to be?
I mean when I came to live in England (marriage) people thought that all of the U.S., not just NY--was like Chicago in the 1920's ala the Untouchables tv show). this was in 1978--before the internet and a more global view of things--more sophisticated.
Wow! what a great place to be born! so colorful and interesting. can't get over it. would you say it had an effect on your writing--and or attitudes? I think I would have wanted to attach myself to a studio as a publicist or something!
