liked a quote
“Do not write to impress others. Authors who write to impress people have difficulty remaining true to themselves. A better path is to write what pleases you and pray that there are others like you. Your first and most important reader is you. If you write a book that pleases you, at least you know one person will like it.”

“Man leave the past in the past. That's where it belongs. The trouble with addicts is that they carry bad memories around with them - like old luggage. And in that luggage that's where they carry their blueprint for living. You got to decide what's worth keeping, and then set the rest of it on the curb for the garbage.

“Then you must tell 'em dat love ain't somethin' lak uh grindstone dat's de same thing everywhere and do de same thing tuh everything it touch. Love is lak de sea. It's uh movin' thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from de shore it meets, and it's different with every shore.”

“The one that sang, old Janine, was always whispering into the g***** microphone before she sang. She'd say, 'And now we like to geeve you our impression of Vooly Voo Fransay. Eet ees the story of leetle Fransh girl who comes to a beeg ceety, just like New York, and falls een love wees a leetle boy from Brookleen. We hope you like eet.' Then, when she was all done whispering and being cute as hell, she'd sing some dopey song, half in English and half in French, and drive all the phonies in the place mad with joy.”

Hello Sister Gurl. Yeech!I don't like vampire porn! Whether X rated or not,I find the funky breath freeks repellent. Despite all the recent depictions of the critters in books and films, and teevee shows, The image from that silent movie 'Nosferatu' comes to my mind. Ain't a goddamn thing 'sexy' about that boy!
Hey, what's going on, ma? I know your hard at work on your books, but if you get a chance, check out the book trailer for my debut novel, Metra City: Destiny's Kiss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXX76O...
