This group is open to all authors, writers and readers, but is especially targeted to those authors who have a presence on MySpace and would like to extend their exposure. This is NOT a critique group. Spammers, be warned!
AT the request of a friend, I have decided to add another group to hold discussions on spy novels and related reads.

- About Me:
- I currently do not have any published works. My first story I have written is "Choices". It is a story of a teen, Karla, whose parents have decided to move to a new location. Karla is upset about the move. She is afraid she will be leaving her friends behind.
Karla enters a new school and makes a new friend, Carol. Carol introduces Karla to a different sort of crowd. Karla is impressed by Carol's poppularity and is drawn to her.
Carol invites Karla to a teen drinking party. Karla makes up a story to tell her mom and leaves with Carol to attend this party. Excited by the fact she is on her first date with a football captain, Gerry, Karla does not know she has made the wrong choice of friends.
Disaster ruins the party for all the party goers, especially Karla.
My story and desire to write for Young Adults comes from watching my own two children grow into adults. My son struggles with an alcohol and drug addiction. I would really like to reach out to other teens and maybe be able to sway at least one into making better choices in their lives.
After coming to a completion of my first book, I feel I would like to make a series of books. The books would have a common setting. Each one would have different themes to deal with.
I would like to use a six degree approach. Each character would know another character that would lead to the next book.
The next step I need to learn is how to research for writing the next book.

Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan

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.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
Was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, and posting your thoughts on your blog (or on Amazon.com). If you're interested, I'd be more than willing to send you an e-book version by e-mail. Just let me know. You can read a summary at the link below:
