Robert, I finally read The Vampire Tapestry which you had added to my Best Vampire Horror Novels list a while back and at your recommendation. I have to give you a big thanks for suggesting it! It is really one of the finest novels of the genre that I have read so far! Thanks so much for suggesting it to me! It is one I am sure I will return to again in the future and will recommend to others.

Thanks for accepting my friendship, Robert. I love reading horror and thriller type books, so I've put "The Pines" on my wish-list.
Thanks for the request, Robert. I'm a transplant to Jersey and The Pines looks intriguing. I want it but since my wallet is light I have to wait. Stupid rent and electric bill.
Check out an ALL NEW interview with Robert, all ye who enter here: http://www.freewebs.com/hfrzine/hfrin...
It is NOT tacky to recommend your own book! You should check out ~The Drama Unfolds~ by Me/Andrea M. Kulmanhahaha... :~D
Hi Robert and thanks so much for adding me as a friend. I visited your web site...very cool! If you have time, I'd love for you to visit mine, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, who I see is also one of your friends. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our book you can click on…clairkelley@synthasite.com. This site is brand new and in the editing stage as is our story. Please visit it as well. Blessings,
Jeannie
