Books & Authors - February 2007

I was just wondering if writing, for you, has been in your blood for a long time or whether it's a recent interest.

Feel free to browse my fledgling 360 page and comment!

I was going to narrate my book on Youtube, just for the fun of it. But It wasn't letting me make my account. Anywhere else I can do it? Or just blog it or something?

Is it a good or bad idea to keep it permanently in bubble wrap?

any advise would be very much appreciated
thanks in advance

Whether its the book that you have read, the stage show or one of the countless film adaptions why do people always seem to like the Phantom over the other characters? after all isnt he a murderer?

My favorites are Clemence Housman's 'The Werewolf'...George R. Martin's 'Skin Trade' and Melanie Tem's 'Wilding'.
What do you consider the best Werewolf stories ever told...in books...?

I think that would be pretty scary if they have. Expecially Alanna and Kel. The Song of the lioness and the protector of the small.
What do you think?

Can someone summarize, explain, give gists, or at least cite themes? I can't understand his work.

Does anyone know of an author who writes in a similar style to Barbara Erskine? I like a combination of Ghostly and Spiritual/Mystery/Romance/History/Thriller/Psychology etc. Also prefer longer books - 800 pages+ - hate finishing a good book.

It's called something like A Thousand Pieces of the Cloth. It has to do with monks.

Another time another place
Perhaps a different night
What seems so wrong at the moment
May some day be right

Revolving
Like clockwork
Around lifes precious machine
Play the game
Make the scene

To bitter to chew
To sweet to spit out
Savor the moment
Don’t drown it with doubt

Thoughts racing
Dreams escaping
Spinning confusion
Trembling, shaking

Purge the silence
Break the chains
That forever bind
What beauty remains

In my opinion he is Britain's best crime writer.

In the world ? Well, Michael Connelly of course!

What is the theme in this poem? & why?

Dusting

Each morning I wrote my name
on the dusty cabinet, then crossed
the dining table in scriptm scrawled
in capitals on the back of chairs,
practicing signatures like scales
while Mother followed, squirting
linseed from a burping can
into a crumpled-up flannel.

She erased my fingerprints
from the bookshelf and rocker,
polished mirrors on the desk
scribbled with my alphabets
My name was swallowed in the towel
with which she jeweled the table tops.
The grain surfaced in the oak
and the pine grew luminous.
But I refused with every mark
to be like her, anonymous.
