A Night With the Swells
A Night with the Swells
A Short Story by BR Chitwood
I’m not a party-animal! Well, more accurately, my first reaction to a party invitation is, ‘I don’t want to go’! I’m basically a more private person and don’t like the first hour or so among so many people I don’t know. Now, with a few drinks, I can open the can to all my scintillating party skills that will ‘wow’ anyone within my auditory range. Read more of this blog post »

Thanks, Chad, happy to be connected with you. Have a great weekend...
Hope all are well and would like to wish everyone Happy Thanksgiving.Hope you all can catch my posts.
My best wishes,

Hi Billy Ray,Thanks for sending a friend request to this fellow Goodreads mystery author!
Forgot to mention...signed up for twitter and trying to get the hang of it (www.twitter.com/brchitwood). Any tips?My best,
Billy Ray
Been doing a lot of writing --- eight of my books are now out and available on amazon.com in book and Kindle. Guess I've missed a lot in the past few months. Can someone show me how to link my Goodreads to twitter? OR, is that a no no? Also, can someone show me how to do URLs, when to do them and how? It is shameful to admit but I'm lost in the digital world most of the time. I've tried to get all the 'straw' out of my hair...guess it's time to stop writing and just learn about the tech aspects of social networking. WHERE HAVE I BEEN?
HELP WANTED! (Free help, that is!)
Hope everyone is happily reading and enjoying life. The sun and surf are constant here on the Sea of Cortez. My best to all...
Billy Ray
Thanks for the friendvite, Billy Ray. You'll get the hang of things on here. I learn something new all the time.
A.C.,'The Moods' ("The Wind Among The Reeds") is also a favorite among Yeats' lyrics---'Time' is an ending theme in my new book, "The Cracked Mirror."
Are you familiar with James Kavanaugh's "Will You Be My Friend?"
And, will you be my friend?
Billy Ray
P.J.,Thanks for the congrats on "The Cracked Mirror" and for your good advice. It's good to make a connection and good to have a friend.

Congratulations on "The Cracked Mirror" and welcome to Goodreads. A word of advice: don’t enter your book into a Goodreads giveaway. The winners will not appreciate it and some will trash it for the stupidest of reasons. Don’t expose your book to abuse by rank amateurs, chosen at random, who have no idea how to write an objective book review. Most winners have no real interest in the books. Don’t waste your money. I appreciate and enjoy Goodreads, but will never again enter a giveaway.
