“Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

“And Lot's wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human. So she was turned into a pillar of salt. So it goes.”

Ed Rambeau Thanks for accepting my friend request, Rasmenia. I suppose the best way to introduce myself is through my website:

http://www.edrambeau.com

Also, take a few moments to view my YouTube promo video of my first novel, FORBIDDEN STEPS, and be aware that I also prepare videos for other authors as a business similar to the one you're about to see:

Again, thanks, and I hope you have a terrific day, Ed

I'm glad you added me as a friend here on Goodreads. I see we enjoy some of the same writers. Here's wishing you a good year and much success with Human Detritus. And if you get a chance, I hope you'll take a look at my spiritual fiction allegory, Song of George: Portrait of an Unlikely Holy Man. Namaste, jesse


Cheryl Thanks for the friend request. Your book looks good and I marked it to read!
