Hello Colleen--
I'm very glad to meet you here at Book Marketing Network. Your forthcoming book of poetry sounds like a deeply moving one and I look forward to reading some of your work. Peace,
Hi Colleen, Thank you for for your comments and very happy to read from you.
Portsmouth is in the Southcoast of England, Its an historic city, surrounded by the sea and one of the sea ports of England to the international community. Portsmouth is about one and half hours drive from London. Its a tourist place and is very wonderful in Summer.
I think you need to come to England again after such a long time, and do not hesitate to check out portsmouth....lol. That was a great holiday you've had and how is your son now?
My book is full of inspiration and do hope I make a great success with it. Just wish me luck,,,lol. Anyway,,it been great talking to you, take care and hear from you soon.

When Jane Fonda's father died, despit his neglect of her, she said it was like opening up a gate between her and her own mortality.
Love is not always power; that may be as
good a description of the human predicament
as we are likely to get.
Remember the many
compartments of the heart,
the seed of what is
possible. So much of who
we are is defined by
the places we hold for each
other. For it is not our ingenuity
that sets us apart, but our
capacity for love, the
possibility our way will
be lit by grace. Our hearts
prisms, chiseling out the
colors of pure light.
Thanks for posting back so quickly, Colleen. I see we must be online at the same time. My kids are nagging me to swim with them, though (it's 98F here in Ohio, today!), so I'm off. But thanks for that suggestion about Collins' poetry. After I get to yours, of course, I'll have to check out his.
TTFN,
Linore
Hey, Colleen!
So glad to "meet" you. I love poetry, particularly British 19th century and earlier, but I also have gone through stages of infatuation with the works of Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, and, to a lesser extent, Greenleaf Whittier. Give me "The Road Less Taken," anyday! (I still know it by heart.) And, some of Langston Hughes' "blues" poetry is to die for! (I warned you: I love poetry!) I will have to look up your work. OH--last, but not least, that troubadour poet, Bob Dylan! Despite some quirky or silly nonsense, some of his work is *almost* sublime.
(From an ex-teenage-Dylan-fan!)
Thanks again, hope to see you around the network--and maybe other places?? :D

Thanks for your comment, Colleen. Pleasure to meet you, too. And you look very familiar to someone that I just befriended on Myspace.
So far (with the first four novels, anyway) the stories have all been set in Florida. The majority of the time, in Northeast Florida. I try to incorporate what I consider to be interesting history. And as you're probably aware, Amelia Island is full of it with its antebellum homes, territorial period lighthouse, Fort Clinch, etc. With "Half-Red Skull," I was also able to mesh the strange history of Osceola's missing skull. As with any book, it was a labor of love to create. lol.
This picture in uniform was taken about ten years after I retired. My daughter graduated from medical school which she attended on an Air Force scholarship. Upon graduation she was promoted to Captain and I administered the oath. After residency as a general surgeon, she will spend three years in the Air Force beginniing in 09. By that time she will be a Major. Can you tell I'm a little proud of her?
Lulu seems fair and I like the quality. I uploaded my content in Word and Lulu converted it to pdf. The pictures reproduce very well and I had a lot of control over the cover. I don't know about the other self pubishing companies. You can upload your project and decide when to publish it. I changed mine a few times before publishing, when you do that, you just upload the corrected file and delete the old file. Same with the cover, you can use a stock cover or upload your own. It has to fit the cover so that took some cropping. I used a picture of two F-16's that I turned into a painting for my cover.
Best wishes,
