Favorite Quotes: "Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us." -Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice "'Tis pleasant, sure, to see one's name in print. A book's a book, although there's nothing in 't."-George Gordon Byron

Thanks,

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

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.

It is the Christmas Season. We are hurrying from place to place, fighting huge crowds nearly everywhere we go, and we are all enjoying the carols sung and played on the radio while stuck in traffic. We are all determining the best Christmas gift to…

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. I am writing because my debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available, and I was hoping you might be willing to read it and post your comments on some of the book review sites like amazon.com. If you're interested, I'd be glad to send you an e-book version of the book. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:
Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.
If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Thanks so much,
Chris

I keep hot, buttery-sweet cinnamon rolls on the cyber-table at all times—go ahead, grab two.
Have a great day and a successful year,
Lynda
I would have replied sooner, but my novel Deadly Enterprise was delayed and now should be released next week.
Did I ask you if you did reviews from e-book pdf downloads? I have a cryptic note on my promotions file that makes me think I contacted you about it, but I can't find that correspondence.
Chris.
Thanks for the invite. You know how authors love reviewers, well I'm no exception. I am an avid reader myself and I do reviews - but not full time, more or less as a favor for other authors. It sure is a good way to find new authors that you can grow to love.
Going to check out a few of your reviews soon as I get a minute.
Billie
Thanks for the invite, love the love.
Thank you for adding me. Have a great day!
M. :)
