Come rate books you read and help other writers know where to find the good ones. Be a book reviewer!
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!
Profile Information
- Are you an Author, Reader, Publisher, Editor, Agent or Other?
- Ahhh, shameless self-promotion. Y'either love it or hate it. Me? I love to hate it. But I digress....
I'm a best-selling, award-winning author (fiction and non for kids and adults) who also teaches writing and edits students' manuscripts (for free). I'm almost as proud of the 500+ (of the couple thousand I've taught) who are now published, themselves. Almost. hehehe
- Do You Have A Website?
- Yep. And you can visit it by going to http://www.loreelough.com (Be patient; there's really cool music!)
- About Me:
- At last count, I had 75 books (fiction and non for kids and adults; one novel optioned for TV movie), 62 short stories, and more than 2,500 articles in print. Since 1999, I've developed and taught writing-related courses for area colleges and online (including Writer's Digest), and frequently address writing-related topics for a wide variety of writers' organizations in the US and abroad.
- Do you have a blog site?
- http://loughdown.blogspot.com
- Favorite Books:
- Anything by Dean Koontz or John Grisham. Or Steinbeck. Oh, and Nicholas Sparks. And let's not forget Nora Roberts. And...oh, you get the idea....
- Favorite Bookstores on land or cyberspace
- Any place that carries printed books.
Coming to bookstores soon...
From the moment Simon brings Levi into the world, he loves the little Amish boy almost as much as he'd love a son of his own. So five short years later, when Levi is brutally murdered in the streets of Paradise--and dies in Simon's arms--he can't imagine a worse fate....
...until he learns that Julia, the new love of his life, will represent Levi's killer in court.
Will hate and suspicion destroy Paradise for him, forever? Or will Simon learn forgiveness and understanding and other lessons of the gentle Amish in time to secure his own happy future?
Find out this April, when Love Finds You in Paradise, Pennsylvania (Summerside Press) comes to a bookstore near you.
Also watch for Love Finds You in North Pole, Alaska in October '09, Love Finds You in Folly Beach, South Carolina, spring 2010...and even more titles coming soon!

Are you ready?
Anyway, I hope to get the house into decent shape before Christmas, when I do my annual meal for the family. There's also that Christmas list to get together. Time is ticking away.
What about you? Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you celebrate another Holiday? If so, are you ready?
Please Welcome Mary Cunningham, Cynthia's Attic Author
One of the main reasons for writing "Cynthia's Attic" came from my failure - failure to appreciate my ancestors. Our family stories are probably no more or less interesting than most, and I went out of my way to avoid remembering most of them or asking questions about my grandparents lives.
Or did I try to find out just which relative "supposedly" sold a city block on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles for $20,000? Guaranteed, I would not be sitting here writing a blog had that particular relative held on to the property.
Then there's the story, "Cynthia's Attic: Curse of the Bayou," of my great-great grandfather, Augustus Boilliat who disappeared in 1860 while taking a load of produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans? Oh, sure I've read different accounts about what happened to him, but lost forever are the stories his grandson (my grandfather) could've told me about facts he'd heard from my great-great grandmother, Marie Julia, about her husband's disappearance.
I remember a few accounts told by my dad about his adventures as a teenage cave guide at one of the largest caves in the Southern Indiana area, Wyandotte, but I only have to guess at some of the adventures he must've had.
The idea for Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle came from detailed genealogy research done by my cousin, Betty. Long before the Internet, she traveled to Switzerland to search for documents that would tie our great-grandmother, Harriet Kistler, to Peter Kistler the First, President of the Republic of Bern, 1470-1480. I've tried to honor the Kistler family in the fourth adventure in Cynthia's Attic.
Thanks, Morgan, for having me as a guest!
Mary Cunningham
She is also co-writer of the humor-filled, women's lifestyle book, "Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF)," along with published stories, "Ghost Light" and "Christmas Daisy," A Cynthia's Attic short story.
To celebrate the release of "The Magician's Castle," (Quake/Echelon Press, DEC 1, 2009), a winner will be chosen on each blog stop to receive a copy of the "Cynthia's Attic" short story, "Christmas With Daisy!" So, be sure to make a comment!

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?

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.
