Don't know what I would have done without Keith Olbermann over the past few years. He, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert were my heroes, a comedic Maginot line. I watch Chris religiously too.

Good luck with The Big One.

Cheers,

J

At 7:58am on March 15, 2008, JackBludis said…: Nope ... Most have to be my age to sell that many. I wrote several before I sold one. And had sold only about 1/2 of the books I have written. One of my favorite lines came tongue in cheek from one of my sons: "This is my dad, who's written more books than he's read." Lately, though, I read only about 10 to 20 times the number I write.

My son lived in Baltimore for a while in that area. I was in Annapolis and would go there on Sunday afternoon and we would have conversations punctuated by gunfire. after awhile you get so you don't even flinch. My son was called Jack, too. I just added a published poem of his to my blog. You might like to read it. I think it's good, although it tugs at me, especially because of the title.
Thanks for communicating.

Thx for the add. You are much further along the road than I. First novel here. But had my taste of rejections and now getting the taste of promoting. Writing easier. On the plus side good reviews and writing very rewarding. For more on the plot and reviews please check my website; brian-m-kennedy.com

Best:

that's all. xxxx

At 12:30am on March 1, 2008, Jim Gracie said…: Thanks for inviting me, Jack. I'm finding the website confusing at the moment, as I'm trying to find my way around it and write at the same time.

At 6:53am on February 29, 2008, Betty Gordon said…: Jack, I'm glad you enjoy "City Confidential" as I do. I think it is a wonderful travelog in addition to presenting the mysteries.

I enjoyed the mention of Shakespeare in one of your recent messages. I used some of his quotes for section breaks in my recent work.

You have a wonderful writing history or I should say accomplishments, Jack, and I wish you continued success.

At 6:50am on February 29, 2008, Betty Gordon said…: Jack, what I like so much about City Confidential, aside from the mysteries involved, is that it is a wonderful travelog of the city they're featuring.

I was especially glad to see you mention Shakespeare. He is my ultimate favorite and I used several of his quotes in my recent work.

Jack, you have a wonderful writing history or I should say accomplishments.

At 3:45am on February 29, 2008, Carol Exline said…: Glad you liked the avatar. Thanks for adding me as a friend.

At 2:36am on February 29, 2008, Jordan Dane said…: You must have real pull with the author to get your hands on No One Heard Her Scream. She must really LIKE you. :)

At 3:53pm on February 22, 2008, L.J. Sellers said…: I'm sure you're right. I haven't opened a book by either of those authors in 20 years (but I remember enjoying them at the time). I'm always surprised by mystery readers who say they reread favorite novels again and again. I can't even keep up with the new ones.
I'll have to check out No Country for Old Men. People either love it or hate it, so it must have something to say.

At 6:21am on February 21, 2008, L.J. Sellers said…: Thanks. The cover has garnered some attention.
You reminded me to update my favorites. I forgot
Rex Stout and John MacDonald.

I should just have copied your list of favorite things because it pretty much matches mine. Magnificent Hack, I love that. I think I wear the same hat.
