OH thank you thank you thank you!

How did you know my favorite cake is white cake with chocolate icing?  Or fudge icing...

Now we're havin' a PARTY!

I read somewhere that all those who fasinate themselves with Bordenism are prone to white cake (yellow as a back-up) with chocolate or better yet fudge frosting....I think its just a theory though...BC

Let's celebrate the publication of our MEMBER, Tina-Kate's BOOK!!!  Hooray!

Thank you Kat, for always being so sweet.

Congratulations Tina!!!  Wish you well with it.

Thank you, Harry.  So far things are looking quite positive.

Yo Tina...congrats on the publication...is this your first book?  How long did it take to write it?  I am, like so many others, a furstrated writer I have subcribed to the Writers Digest Mag and I recently recieved a letter of opportunity from the same company as your website, Xlibris, offering a chance to send a manuscript for review.  Are they easy to deal with?  Any pointers would be greatly appreciated...Best Wishes on your book...BC

Hi, Bob.  The key to dealing with Xlibris is patience.  If I had to do it over, I would check around & look at as many of those net based publishers as I could.  Shop around.  Be forwarned, YOU do 99% of the work & they take their time processing it.  I've done 2 books thru them now (the other for my father) & hesitate to say I'd do a 3rd.  I basically used them as a stepping stone to bigger & better things.

"Paradox" took perhaps 4 yrs from blank page to finished product, 8 months in production, 3+ yrs of researching, writing, editing, proofing, etc etc.  However, I LOVED every minute of it!  It's a very entertaining tale.  I used the age old advice of, "Write the kind of book you yourself would love to read".  One of my motivators was the fact I wasn't finding fiction that was REALLY entertaining me.  I kept getting disappointed by authors who had great ideas, but they never seemed to follow thru with what the book jacket promised.  I HOPE my book DOES.

Power to you for looking toward your dreams.  Do what you love, & you can never go wrong!  Best wishes, T.

Sincere congratulations!

T: thanks a million times itself...I have toyed with the "I am goin' write book" mentality for several years and I really think I need to start on it.  Thanks again for the insight and inspriation...BC

Wow!  Bob x 2.  I'm suddenly discomBOBulated!  I can feel my ego expanding by the second    Sorry, I'm an incurable punster.

Bob G:  Thank you, kind sir.

Bob C:  Your very welcome.  It's only a matter of what the folks at that sportswear company say, "Just Do It".  Happy writing!

T.
