Hi Bob! I love what you said about your wife. I'm a big fan of humor in books, too, that and fast, fun reads. I think New Mexico is beautiful. I passed through visiting my brother in Scottsdale. Best of luck on your writing! Nice meeting you.

There is that aspect of the tortured Southern man! Well, if you ever need a book review from an editor's perspective to use in your next press release, I hope you keep me in mind. I do them gratis. All I ask is that you post my name and url with any snippets you choose to use. I post the review on my website portfolio page and also on other sites (Amazon, B and N, authorsden, etc).

Is that James Lee Burke you have on your reading list? I love his work. Light, fun, and so full of the local color I grew up with...

Hi Bob....you asked about Five Star. They are a terrific publisher, but with a limited horizon for most authors. Their primary market is the library realm where VERY high quality hardcover books are the norm. The downside is, they do not market to the bookstore trade so authors have to bust their own humps to make a name. But then, if it was easy, everyone would be an author, right?

Thanks for the note. Drop over to the author group I started and join us. Great group of people....

MORGAN'S OWN BLOGSPOT

Come on Over

I'm over at a few other blogs today. If you get a chance, come on over to see the Christmas Decorations at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com/

At http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/  the topic is Spoiled Milk. Ever sit down to read a good book and been disappointed?

If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.

Thanks,
Morgan Mandel

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?

Library Displays - See Make Mine Mystery Monday

Have you tried a library display? If you want to see mine, come on over to Make Mine Mystery on Monday.

Thanks,

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.
