Comment by Rebecca J Vickery on March 19, 2009 at 8:17pm - I tend to think without wars we wouldn't need the spies. LOL Why don't you wait until the group grows and see what everyone thinks. I particularly love the historical spy novels particularly from the Revolution and Civil War. And especially if they have a thread of forbidden romance running through them also.

- Thanks Charlie Bear, for the suggestions and the welcome. Been there and read those, plus too many others to list. I look forward to seeing what goes on here. Are spy novels going to be included or do you consider those a separate genre? Rebecca

- Silly me, welcome to the group!

- Hey Rebecca! Wow, those are most definitely some great movies Ebay and Amazon come to mind if you are looking for some of these stories. here's a couple more for you: Where Eagles Dare, The Guns of Navarone, Bridge over The River Quay.

Hi Charlie Bear,
Some of my favorite war stories were made into the old movies like Raid On Entebbe, Midway, Flying Leathernecks, and Green Berets. You just can't find books like that now. But I'm still looking. LOL Rebecca

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?
Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
