Sharon Bolton has got a book coming out soon. I know her from Twitter. Say when you're thinking, a two pronged approach might be good.

Will keep you posted on Tom.

Yes when I messaged her and mentioned that she was our first Q & A author EVER, and would love to have her back for a second and I mentioned re- her book.

I am waiting for her to decide, as busy.

Jenni - a wonderful heartfelt message. Feel welcome to "babble". We all do.

Perri | -43 comments Late to the thread and have nothing to add which has not already been said, but I think it's important to add my voice to the huge appreciation for the work and attention from Sean, Janet and Autumn. You CAN'T please everyone, don't sweat it or take it personally. Easier said than done, I know. MOST of the group is happy or we wouldn't be here. That must mean you're doing something very right!


message 4161: by E. (new)

E. | 653 comments Stacy Green was interactive for a BOTM read and discussion of All Good Deeds for another group. She was extremely personable, casual, and contributed much. I went out and got 3 more of her books, as did many others. I hope she agrees to a q&a. I'm about to start Tin Gods in a few days, looking forward to it.


message 4162: by Janet , Moderator (new)

Janet  | 5303 comments Mod
I hear a lot of good things about Stacey Green's books. I have Tin God to read. I haven't checked but hoping it's a standalone!! Anal me won't be able to cope!!! ;-)

Thank you all for your kind words. :-) Nice to hear.

Hopefully, but a lot of work, he is very busy, has a page here, but not active, you can not friend him or ask him a question.

So having to go through everyone/anyone, agents, managers, Nelson and his publicity team.

Thank you Sean for working so hard for him to do a Q & A.

My brother says my Clyde is fitting sometimes. A black cat...can't imagine what he's implying, lol. Clyde's a handsome boy - he had his 2nd birthday - the terrible twos. =)

Heather Burnside (goodreadscomheather_burnside) | 385 comments I've just seen my first eclipse - yippee. We're lucky to see sunshine at all in Manchester so it will probably be the first and only time that I ever get to see an eclipse. :)

its kind of hard to describe the flavour but its the seeds you eat and i just chucked them in with the rest of the fruit for the smoothie - they are very good for you tho

Sean Peters | 10541 comments Mod
Pomegranate, mix well with raspberry, cherry or blackberry, and maybe strawberry.

A health food, high in Vitamin C.

Also very nice in a smoothie, is Acai Berry.

Although sadly I cannot have too many smoothie.

A natural smoothie had the same sugar as coco cola, and 16-18 spoons of sugar, although natural sugar from fructose.

I studied clinical sports nutrition under Patrick Holford. I studied this to help with my fitness for my tennis and tennis coaching, and ran my own nutrition business, while working full time.

My speciality was Vitamin C treatment, and sports.

But found working full time, and doing 27 hours of coaching, and running a nutrition business too much, so now just enjoy my tennis.

Even thats harder now at 57 years old/young


message 4176: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mccall it went very nicely with my mango pineapple and strawberry that i had last night. i have blueberry raspberry cranberry and apple with honey greek yogurt for lunch - looking forward to that

Kath Middleton | 235 comments Hi all. I have to say I find not only the number of threads here daunting but the fact that the ones I do follow move so quickly - more than a hundred on here since I last had the chance to look. Still, that's because it's a vibrant group.

Sorry to hear about you pet, Chris. They're part of you - part of your family. I've even felt like that about small birds.

So - happy World Sparrow day!

As I'm typing right now, mine is laying on my lap with her right paw and head resting on my left wrist. She tries to do this on my right wrist, but I'm right handed and have to use the mouse too often for her comfort. :-)


message 4192: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Mccall if I not going to bed quick enough for her dash will sit on the keyboard or in front of the tv.

if I have the laptop on in bed she will sit on my chest and I cant see what I am doing. she will also if I reading to long in bed lie on my right shoulder and start hitting the book - this is to tell me its sleepy time

Kirsten  (kmcripn) My brother's cat thinks his laptop is the competition and will do anything to interpose himself between them.

Anyone else a fan of Jo Nesbo?
I see he has a new book out in a few weeks,
I love his books, but the kindle edition price is £8.54!!
what the ....
grrrr!!
I know they all do it but it really grates on me these ridiculous prices!!

So now I'm not going to buy until the price has gone down considerably!
Rant over.

Thank you, Kath. It can certainly be a wrench, even the birdies, the turtles, and the guinea pigs.
