Quote_tiny Graeme added a quote:
"On the seashore of endless worlds children meet.

The infinite sky is motionless overhead and the restless water is boisterous. On the seashore of endless worlds the children meet with shouts and dances.

They build their houses with sand, and they play with empty shells. With withered leaves they weave their boats and smilingly float them on the vast deep. Children have their play on the seashore of worlds.

They know not how to swim, they know not how to cast nets. Pearl-fishers dive for pearls, merchants sail in their ships, while children gather pebbles and scatter them again. They seek not for hidden treasures, they know not how to cast nets.

The sea surges up with laughter, and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach. Death-dealing waves sing meaningless ballads to the children, even like a mother while rocking her baby’s cradle. The sea plays with children, and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach.

On the seashore of endless worlds children meet. Tempest roams in the pathless sky, ships are wrecked in the trackless water, death is abroad and children play. On the seashore of endless worlds is the great meeting of children."
Rabindranath Tagore
Quote_tiny Graeme added a quote:
"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
William Butler Yeats
Quote_tiny Graeme added a quote:
"All the young can do for the old, is shock them and keep them up to date."George Bernard Shaw
Quote_tiny Graeme added a quote:
"Find out what your hero or heroine wants, and when he or she wakes up in the morning, just follow him or her all day."Ray Bradbury

445025 Hello Graeme, thanks for the kind word. It's nice to make a friend with author overseas too.

Also Graeme, is it common to publish novel as ebook in malaysia actually?

I haven't had any thoughts to publish novel in eBook format, though I think it's good media promotion though, since nowadays people used creative common license. I plan to do so after my contract with publisher end.

Do you speak Malaysia language? Indonesia and Malaysia language are not much different, you probably could read my novel too. :)

By the way, your novel Secret of Aeternius sounds very interesting. I hope the publishers here will license it.

Also I have read the Rule of Four. It's kinda interesting, but a bit too hard for me to grasp the entire plot though.

445025 hello Graeme, mice to meet you! Thanks for adding me as friend.

I saw your profile that you have authored novels too. Why haven't you activated your author profile? I think it's very good to promote our books here, I just did it recently.

I'm a beginner novelist, I just made my debut in 2007, though I hope I will publish more novel in the future :)

630905 Thanks for the friendship, Graeme!

Here’s wishing you a fantastic day filled with fabulous fates, fanciful festivities, and frolicking phantom footstools.

I was wondering if you'd do me the honor of reading about my debut novel, Vacation, which recently made the Bram Stoker Award Preliminary Ballot. Your support would mean a lot to me. If you'd like to do me this honor, feel free to vist my site here:
