I know this is going to sound crazy, but I don't blog. I don't Facebook, Skype, LinkedIn, Text, or Twitter. I'm trying to get with the social media program, but I'm exhausted. I've also run out of original user IDs for my accounts, so there's really no hope for me... Luckily for us all, there are many people out there doing some great blogging, and these are some I follow:

| I love me my donuts- Satan Donut and Etta Donut, that is. Very unusual characters (especially their names), funny situations, and finally I came across a mime that didn't make me feel like I wanted to put a gun in my mouth - or his. If you enjoy a tw...more | |

From the second I started this book all I could think was "Wow!" and "What?" I've never read anything like this. It completely blew my mind. It was like being on some wild, weird trip that I wanted to end so I could figure out where we were going, bu...more |

Hi JL, the HP Lovecraft book looks great, and so does yours. I don't come across many comedy writers on GR, but here you are! Feel free to stop by my site sometime, http://www.theskyinsideyou.com

I have spent the last 2 summers perfecting my pseudo-scientific theories as to the best time of day, location, and what equipment to use. All I've managed to find so far is thousands of those little "tourist teeth"... every few months I release them back into the Bay, hoping the Bay deity will spit out a huge tooth for me in exchange...
One day last Fall my son was out walking the dog on the beach - no where near the water's edge - and literally TRIPPED on a tooth. 2.5 inches long, almost 2 inches wide. Unbelievable.
J.L. said: "Hi! Was checking out your reading shelves... interesting what we have in common, but also very interesting what we do not have in common... looking for new friends with different tastes to keep me from getting in a rut. Hope you accept my friend request :)"Friendship accepted, JL. Thanks for asking. Well, we not only have some books in common (though our ratings seem to be a bit off), but I grew up near the Chesapeake Bay and spent many days hunting shark's teeth. I didn't think they had any left. The biggest one I found (and still have) was about 1 1/2 inches. I have the theme for you new novel: While many animals go to a special place to die (ie fantasy graveyards for elephants) sharks go to the Chesaspeake Bay for dental work. OK, you owe me if the book goes viral!
