Yeah, but I sing good old stuff, like Tin Pan Alley, old jazz, Mills Brothers, Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., etc.

I also am a former state and federal prosecutor.

Yeah, I define "a good round," as one with zero legal liability or body harm to myself and others ;)

Thank you for adding me as a friend. And, Haha...I have no idea why the avatar brings "Catcher" to mind. I read it about 40 years ago when I had to for school... and don't really remember it much. Now I will have to go and reread it so I can maybe catch the same idea.

Take care!!

Thanks for adding me as a friend, Jack! I'm just finding my way around this site, it looks great. Exactly what I was looking for!

Hi Jack, yes they are - all true. The magazines have been published here for 50 years but originated in America. The writing style was unique then...building up suspense etc. just like fiction.

hi Jack, and thanks for the welcome. I'm going to take your advice and read 'No Country for Old Men' - I hear the movie is great too.

Hey Jack. Good to be friended.

They ARE a strange bunch. I'm off to another day of wacky adventures. :-)

thanks for the welcome - without the writers there wouldn't be anything for us to enjoy reading!

Thanks. I've got another interview to upload later from You Tube but you can see it on my blog/web site www.paulinerowson.com. It looks as though I can embed it here- when I learn how to do it and have the time.

Hi, Just finding my way around this site, but it looks interesting. I liked what you said about finding your voice and agree with you. It took me a while to find my genre (crime and thrillers, though I started with historical sagas) and to find my voice, and I wrote thousand of words before doing so. Now I write with the male voice, which intrigues readers in the UK because of course I am female, and so far my thrillers are in the first person male and my detective novels third person male but all seen through the eyes of my main character DI Andy Horton. I feel this adds pace. I'm looking forward to exploring this site, when I have time ( should be writing) and reading the various comments.

Thanks for the comment, Jack. I'm gonna hustle on over to ThrillingDetective and check out "Blondes, Blondes, Blondes" pronto.

Yeah, I think you're right - I thought it sounded funny at the time - same thing though, just a different animal...

Thanks for the comment, Jack. It's funny, I sent that comment in on Saturday. On Sunday I threw away a whole chapter of the WIP because I realized it would be better shown (and in a different place) than told. Funny how often serendipitous timing works out here.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for the add. The thing is about Ed Wood is that it looked like it was a great experience to make as well as to watch. And I loved the mohair sweaters!

Hi Jack, what an impressive writing history you have, I will look forward to investigating your books.

Hi Jack - I try to maintain my monthly contribution to the "reading" stakes [vbeg]

Alex Kava is a woman! And yes, she's great. Try reading A Perfect Evil...

Pretty quick work here. There are a lot of serious writers here--many serious readers as well.
It's a group well worth being a part of.
