I missed the thread, FD, but thanks for coming here to apologize anyway. And, if you're a reader, and I suspect you are, welcome to the group. We'd be glad to know what you read and what you think about what you read.
FD, glad to see you are contributing to the site!
Again Ms. Fiona... I'm not a spammer. I just wanted to get the word out and I unfortunately put it in the wrong place. Of course, I've been accused of putting things in the wrong place for years.Fiona wrote: "Hi FD - thanks for coming back and to prove us wrong!
I'm sorry too if I went over the top, perhaps. Though please understand that most, really are just genuine spammers, make an advertisement for..."
Oh. It was wonderful. I lived through Vietnam, but was almost killed by the members of this group for spamming my new book.Elizabeth wrote: "I missed the thread, FD, but thanks for coming here to apologize anyway.

Thank you. I am humbled by your patience and kindness.
Miss a single day on Good Reads and you feel like you fell through the looking glass!
Well then Brenda, let me catch you up:I posted a spam about my new book, nobody liked it, everyone tried to have me killed, and then I apologized.
Now you're caught up.
Thanks again to all of you. I feel welcome and humbled.
Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the group, Frank.
Wow! I missed a lot.
Frank: just come in here read and chat with us. We are a good group!

Hello! Welcome to the group. What sort of books do you enjoy reading?
I read mostly espionage, spys and police novels. I'm a former law enforcement officer and I kind of draw from that to write.

That's not really my cup of tea, but my boyfriend is mad for that stuff, he reads a lot of John Grisham, some true crime things, and forensic books.
Have you read any of the James Bond books?
Oh yeah.. Ian Fleming is the god father of the spy genre. He was a spy for the British during WW-II.April wrote: "Frank wrote: "I read mostly espionage, spys and police novels. I'm a former law enforcement officer and I kind of draw from that to write."

No. le Carr'e isn't my interest. I did "see" the constant gardner, and if the book is anything like the movie, then I may have missed out on something great.Fiona wrote: "I got Casino Royale to read.

As for the comparison of the book to the film, with the exception "the Choir Boys" by Joseph Wombaugh, most of the movies are merely "based" on the books, which means they took extreme license with their interpretation of the book.Fiona wrote: "I got Casino Royale to read.

I'm a fool. An old fool who didn't read the rules and made several people angry who didn't deserve it. I need to apologize to all who were in on the thread yesterday (March 18, 2009) regarding my spamming my new book. You were right Fiona, I didn't pay attention to the rules, and I took advantage of you all. Please accept my sincere apologies.
Forgive an old man his ignorance.
