I write short stories for magazines and even have work in Portugal and Cyprus with connections in 62 other countries. So I haven't had my head in a book in a while. I recently added a book to my reading pile called "I've Never Met an Idiot on the River" by Henry Winkler. I enjoy him as an actor, I'll see how he tells his own story, a slice of his life.Check out Royal Ferdinand > http://tinyurl.com/43k7yr7 and http://www.solsticepublishing.com/cat... is my first book, "Death & Taxes" > twelve stand alone stories with poems. Publisher said my manuscript moved him to publish it.

Hi Christine, so nice to hear from you! I am very much enjoying Briggen. It has a lot of similarities to Star Trek in the world Ann has created (I am a big Star Trek fan!), she has created a very rich world...

God's GiftLittle baby on the hay,
soon there'll be another day
when nails shall pierce You hands
and feet as You provide our sin's defeat.
Risen Jesus on the throne,
we lift our praise to You alone-
for You're the gift that we receive
the moment that our hearts believe.
-Roy Lessin
This Christmas,as you consider all the awesome things that have come to you through Jesus,God's perfect gift,remember that it is but a taste of all the good things yet to come.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
love,bonnie
