I am late in posting, but I have a good excuse. I've been writing and reading. I'm deep into work on my National Novel Writing Month project - Mrs. Boyd. I'm currently approaching the 15k word mark.

thanks Karen. I'll be interested in hearing what you think. I've added your book to my to-read list.

Kate
Hey, Karen!
Thanks for the comment and for befriending me back! I really like your blog and congrats on the debut novel...I'm adding it to my "to-read" list.
And don't sell yourself short on the comedy...cracking labs up is no small feat. (They are a notoriously tough room.)
Take care...

hi karen! thanx 4 accepting my friend request. i'm brigid, and i'm fifteen. i love 2 read, and I also write a lot. i've only written one book so far, but haven't had any luck when it comes to publishing. i'm working on like four other novels write now. if u ever have advice for young writers, i'm here :)
I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me yesterday. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.Argh...this is terrible...
Again, I'm very sorry.

Here’s wishing you a nifty New Year filled with noiseless noses, neato nicknames, noble Nebraskans, gnarly narcoleptic nebulas, and novel novels about nut-eating narwhals and novercaphobic gnats. -Jeremy :)
P.S.—I’m currently offering autographed/personally-inscribed copies of my novel, Vacation, with free shipping for those in the US. If there’s anything you could do to help me spread the word about this, I’d really appreciate it. Feel free to click here for details:

Hi Karen!Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.
-Jeremy :)
Hi Karen!If you don't mind sharing--I was wondering, what's your favorite book of all time?
Here’s wishing you a weekend filled with wacky whims, wonderful weirdness, and well-disposed werecats.
-Jeremy :)
Thanks for being my friend, Karen. Seems like I have to find the Janeology. :) Keep on writing, ok !
