Hello to everyone on the Network, I'm happy to join you!
I already wrote about my main writing interests, (in my profile) but I should also note that I publish a monthly ezine about Regency England for fans of Regency fiction, writers, history buffs, Anglophiles, Janeites, and period fashion fans. I invite anyone reading (YOU!) to sign up and give it a try. (It's completely free--a $97 value). You can always unsubscribe if you aren't happy with it. (I have lots of fun filling it with colorful illustrations, though, so I think you'll enjoy each issue.) And if you think I'm biased in favor of my ezine--why, you'd be absolutely right!

Before I go, just want to add that I appreciate those who have already extended a warm welcome by inviting me to be a friend--and all those who will.

Thanks much,

Linore
PS: SIgn up here;
It's fast, free, and easy!

Hi Linore, thanks for your friendship. So glad to hear that you enjoy poetry as well. I also love Robert Frost and some of the classics - Yeats, Shelley, and Shakespearean sonnets. But I adore Billy Collins! If you haven't read any of his, check him out. His poetry makes me smile, he has such a unique way of observing every day life that just tickles me! I will be sure to visit your website.
Take care,
~Colleen

Hey Linore -

I am so happy to finally find you on Book Market. You know I'm already a huge fan of yours!!! You are amazing!!!

Love ya!!!
Smiles - Stacey

Thanks for the kind words! Hope all is well.

Hi Linore,

Thank you for the comment. Your work also seems very interesting, and I wholeheartedly agree with you on the integrity and purity issue. I also like your book cover. I will soon be featuring the work of Pat Simmons who is also a Christian Romance author in Featured Books section of the website and hope you would consider having your book featured as well.

hello Linore. thanks for the friend invitation. I also agree in purity and sexual integrity. I applaud your work and hope your word spreads like fire. I myself have two daughters and we are doing everything we can to make sure they understand how very important this is. +

Linore, you are so right! There are many talented writers and authors on here. It will definitely take me some time to review my friends work and/or services from many of the authors here.

About being featured-- copy and paste this link www.author-promotion.com and click on the "Author" section and you will see the information on there.

Let me know if you have any questions?

-Nadia

Linore, I have three, not four published. I have four written, but not published. Thank you for your nice comments. Your new project "which incorporates the idea of purity and sexual integrity as the only tenable way of life in the 21st Century," sound very, very interesting, and may I say, probably sorely needed . . . I'll be watching this event . . . Thank you again . . .

Hi Linore,

Thanks for the suggestion. Ironically, I was in the process of doing the same thing you suggested. I'm late, but I am sending Osteen a copy of my book. I wanted to mention that his sermon inspired the book's title and title poem, but not the book itself.

I would love to exchange books! Although, I couldn't do so at this time. I currently don't have any available copies and won't be getting any soon. I will definitely let you know when I have copies available.

I would also like to write a novel or screenplay and it would be Christian Romance. I already have the concept and storyline of what I want to write about:) But it won't be published anytime soon, though. My next book would be poetry.

Talk to you soon.

-Nadia

Hi Linore,

I finally made a book trailer. Let me know what you think?

-Nadia

Keep up the good work yourself, women need guidance more than ever these days as do men you know.

I will keep in touch with any new developments,

Thanks,

Linore, here is the link to view my trailer:

You can also just click on my page and scroll down on the to left corner then click video.

I hope you like it.

-Nadia

Linore, it doesn't work that way. This is my first time uploading any video on You Tube, but like in all things, you have to promote it to other You Tube subscribers to really get any traction. Although you never know who can see it regardless.

I would love to do another video reading a few of my poems.

-Nadia

Thanks so much for the invitation. I lived in Ohio for 9 years!

I like the idea of your book. Very much needed.

Hello, I looked at your ezine and was really impressed. What a great idea! How do you set something up like this? Which software do you use? Keep up the great work! I write as a columnist for Today s Zaman an English national and international newspaper printed in Turkey and on the web. You can read one of my articles if you go to: http://www.todayszaman.com/tz-web/yazarDetay.do?haberno=120328 Hope you enjoy it!

Since my book has been out for 7 years, I'm not sure a review would help but I'm currently working on another book and might ask for your help when it's finished. Thanks!

I can help some there, Linore. I co-own two popular blogs, Novel Journey and Novel Reviews, where we interview authors and review their novels. Most are CBA authors, but some are ABA (but the work must be G rated). Google Novel Journey and you'll find us.

The other thing I'd love to recommend is ACFW (American Christian Fiction writers). We're actually an international group now, with 1400 members. Joining ACFW was the best thing I ever did for my writing. Our members are some of the best-selling authors like Angela Hunt, Karen Kingsbury, Deb Raney, and others you see here, too. But there are also a lot of pre-pubilshed authors. You'll get the best writing and marketing advice ever!!

So check it out at www.acfw.com You'll be glad you did. :o) It's a great community of Christian authors.

Hi Lenore,

Always looking to network with Christian authors. I found you on Ane Mulligan's site and would like you to be my friend,

Hi Linore,

I would like to invite you to join my Ning Book Marketing network. I have been a published author for many years and love to network with others who have a passion for writing and publishing.

Have a great day.

ACFW is perfect, Linore. We're even working on local chapters, and the annual conference is the premiere fiction conference! You'll be glad you joined.

Hi Linore,

When you get a chance send me a bio of yourself (perhaps something you have not already listed in your profile) and I will add it to my blog on BMK.

-Nadia

Ok, will do, Nadia, and thank you. Oh, and I got your address, thanks for that, also.
You are keeping busy, girl!
Talk to you again soon,

Linore

Hi, fellow authors. Isn't this the truth?
Book research can take you into places you'd never *normally* consider venturing. In my current book project, the hero, Jason, owns a Harley Davidson. Online snooping around just wasn't answering all my questions, so I went to a meeting of a local group of Motorcyclists--and met some fabulous people.

The group was a chapter of the Christian Motorcyclists Association, called "Warriors for Christ." I was able to ask questions to my heart's content, and was even given a nice close-up inspection of a sporty Harley as well as a few "dressed out" bikes. This is going to be perfect for my heroine's first ride on Jason's bike.

I do remember my one--and only--ride on a motorcycle. I was visiting my cousin and dear friend Carol at her brother's house in Vermont. Just being in Vermont was an amazing eye-opener for this city girl. (Seeing pictures of a place just isn't the same as being there!)

Anyway, Kurt, (Carol's older brother) took me for a "spin" almost the moment I set foot in his house. It was extraordinary. I was terrified, but also exhilarated. The beauty of the mountains took my breath away, and the winding country roads, empty except for us, were surreal. The unfamiliar climbs up steep, mountainous strips of road, lined thickly with dense forest, was simply unforgettable. Kurt was having fun showing off his beautiful adopted state, and I was clinging to him for dear life. When we halted atop a nearby summit for an awe-inspiring view of mountain tops, I might just as well have been in the Alps! To me, this was like another country. I just couldn't believe the beauty.

Even so, it was a relief to climb off that bike. But that was over twenty-five years ago. (Yikes! Time flies.)
After seeing so many beautiful shiny bikes up close, and putting my newest fictional heroine on one, I'm starting to think it's high time for another ride myself.

Want to "haul" a rider, anyone? (Just kidding. That's biker-speak for carrying a passenger. See? You learn important stuff when you do face-to-face research!)

Blessings,

Linore

Hi Linore,

I've added your bio to my blog. Thanks.

Have a Great Weekend!

I'll be looking for you on the loop!

Our conference is in Dallas this year from 9/20-23. I go on the 18th for some pre-conference board meetings. The loop will be a bit quiet while a bunch of us are at the conference, but we'll be blogging about it, so be sure to visit the blogs. :o)

Hi Linore,

I'll definitely check it out, and thanks for letting me know. I hope you enjoyed your weekend.

Hi Linore,

Thanks for the invite into your group. I think I've been to Waynesville. How far is it from the Indiana line?

Thanks for your comment.
I agree with you that short story ebooks can be a great way to build a profile.
I have three short stories out, soon to be four.

Good luck with your Christmas book.
