    <about><![CDATA[Hello.<br/><br/>I'm an author living on the east coast of Florida, enjoying the sun, sand and Atlantic ocean.  I have a day job, but what's more important is my writing.  <br/><br/>My debut novel, Hunting the Haunting, is now available through <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://Amazon.com">Amazon.com</a> or direct through www.huntingthehaunting.com. <br/><br/>The world of writing is pure magic.  To be able to capture thoughts (all the many millions of them, fluttering around like little bees) and polish them, stretch them, mold them into people, places and things, is just a phenomenon I've been obsessed with since I was 6 years old. <br/><br/>Aside from writing, I find great pleasure in the ocean, walking the surf regularly or just sitting having breakfast under the pavilion watching the waves roll end.  I read as much as I can, trying to spread myself and finding new authors, genres, etc to indulge in.  And if I'm not writing, reading,  cycling, on the beach, working or asleep, I could be sitting at the kitchen table working on a cross-stitch or needlepoint.<br/><br/>To all the writers out there - Happy writing.<br/><br/>To all the readers - Happy Reading.<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/>Jo.]]></about>

          <body><![CDATA[I have to agree with PrincessJewel on the 3 reasons to toss a book - I've never thrown one (away or across the room) but there have been times... Poor storytelling is a major peeve of mine.  I'm okay with telling, if it's done in a way that is alluring, intricate or emotional.  But if the overall writing is messy, immature or simply unthought, the book won't last past chapter 2 or 3, depending on the length.   There have been plenty of books where the blurb looks good enough and then disappointment jumps out like a prank can of worms.  That's the biggest let-down for me; A strong blurb based of false pretenses of what's inside the actual book.<br/><br/>Dog-earring pages??? That should be illegal. <br/><br/>Jo.]]></body>
