Hi everyone, My name is Martin. I live in Kent UK. I am married and we have one son. I trained as an actor at a place called RADA and have worked fairly extensively in all areas of the theatrical business. However, these days I devote most of my time to my writing. I recently brought out my debut novel, a horror/thriller called Niedermayer & Hart by M J Johnson. I am delighted to be part of any group that bears the name James Mason - in fact, my wife is away tonight and my son was going to come over to watch the DVD of Salem's Lot with me. Anyone who has seen it will recall James Mason gives a truly chilling performance in it.
Many thanks

Martin

[Kristi]

Has anyone read the Fifty Shades of Gray trilogy? I am trying to decide if I want to read it. Any thoughts?

[M.J.]

Sorry Kristi, haven't read so can't help.

Welcome M.J.- so happy to have another James Mason Fan! and yes- He was very chilling as the Antique Shop owner in Salem's Lot!!! Just perfect in every film he made- even the ones that were below him in quality.

[M.J.]

Did you choose James Mason as the name of your group because you're a huge fan of his work or was there a literary connection too. Did James Mason write anything?

Martin"

Hi M.J.
I chose James Mason because he is my favorite actor- since I was about 10 years old. In Oct of 2009, when I started this wonderful Group- I chose to use James Mason's name to honor his memory and do my little part to keep his magnificent career alive. I have several nice picturesof him in the photo section, and quiz questions about him in the polls section- everyone check them out! There is even a picture I drew of James Mason!

btw- James Mason did write an autobiography, published shortly before his death, and a book with his first wife- a whimsical account of their life with there many cats- he was a great cat lover- and he drew all the illustrations in the book- THE CATS IN OUR LIFE

[M.J.]

Anyway Rick, thanks for inviting me to join this excellent group. I very much look forward to participating in it. Over the last few years I have turned my hand to writing. My debut novel is a horror/thriller called Niedermayer & Hart, I have another book 99% complete apart from a few minor changes I plan to make and I've just begun work on a new book. So far I've been fortunate and picked up very good reviews on Amazon (mostly UK but some .com)and I recently got my first on Goodreads. So, upwards and onwards!
Thanks once again Rick and members of the JMCBC for inviting me along.
Martin

I wish to make my book available free to the James Mason members who would like to fetch a copy from Amazon. The Chesapeake: Tales & Scales is a collection of short stories of fun, fishing and nonsense from around the Chesapeake region. A review would be appreciated as well. Welcome to all the new members of James Mason, a most interesting group.

[Kristi]

Wow! I don't have a Kindle but I am going to have to hit the library and check out everyone's books!

[Brian]

Thanks so much for the invite Rick. I look forward to adding something to the group. I'm currently writing and performing more than reading. I'm a stand up comedian with 2 comedy books published and a third on the way. I also write for an online comedy magazine called "AmocK". James Mason was a great actor by the way, it's cool to see a group in his honor. If you like to laugh here's my website, there's vidieos, animated pieces,short stories and check my calendar for a show in your town. I'll also leave my amazon page here just in case.I'll be reading a lot this summer while on tour sitting in hotel rooms or comedy condos(the house's or apartments the clubs put us up in). Take care care everyone http://briantshirley.webs.com & http://www.amazon.com/-/e/B005ZTNU7Q

[Paige]

Rick - thanks for the invite to the group.
If anyone is interested in reading a story that will take you on a journey beyond your imagination then I think you should check out my novel, Believe Like A Child. My story will bring you to the dark side, a place where no one wants to go, but must, in order to better understand the evil that exists. My novel is about a seven year-old girl who is raped by her live-in uncle. The story reflects what can and does become of children that are subjected to such treatment. Child abuse, of any kind, is the most horrific thing that can happen. While the beginning of my novel is based on my real life, the remainder is a work of fiction that was written to entertain the reader and to convey a powerful message. You can read the first 11 pages at www.paigedearth.com. I will warn you that the book is graphic and would tell you that while some may have difficulty reading it just remember that it is much more difficult to live through it. My novel is available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon.com. I look forward to hearing back from those of you who give it chance and give it a read!

I have just finished my second novel, When Smiles Fade. It’s currently with my editor and you can enter at the link below to win a copy when it is released in July 2012.

I’m thrilled to be a part of this group and hope to learn from all of you and find new friends!

Love,

Hello everyone! thanks Rick for inviting me to this group. At first I couldn't remember what books James Mason had starred in, so I IMDBed him and discovered he was in 20,000 leagues under the sea, which was one of my favorites as a kid. Super neato!

my name is Jason Henderson and I am the author of one novel thus far,Halfway to Nowhere . I love reading books, always looking for something new. Either it's because i find it interesting, it's new, or I think I can learn something from it writing-wise.


I love to go camping and chill with nature, traveling-- even though being on an airplane scares the willies out of me, and of course hanging out at bookshops. I LOVE music, too.

[Doreen]

Hello to everyone, and thanks to Rick for the invite!

Along with my wife I publish select, quality books. We don't churn out titles because we believe that good reading stems from quality writing. Our approach has resulted in several award wins for our authors, so hopefully that means we are doing something right! Most of our titles are on my Goodreads bookshelf, which I am also updating right now, but all our titles can be seen on the websites www.ll-publications.com and www.logical-lust.com

Great to be here and this sounds like a vibrate area to dicuss books :)

[[deleted user]]

Appreciate the invite, Rick. Sounds like an interesting group. Look forward to following and participating in the discussion.

I am the author of A Lovely, Indecent Departure: A Novel, a literary thriller that shares the account of a young immigrant mother to the US who kidnaps her son from his American father and with her family's help flees to her native Italy.

You can read more about me and the book at my website: http://www.stevenleegilbert.com.

Thanks again!

[Jonathan]

I am the author of Clouded Rainbow, From Vegas with Blood, and A Smudge of Gray: A Novel (which is on Amazon Kindle promo today! Download now! 6/15)

I'm impressed, concise & to the point.

Never be afraid to make personal changes you feel needed in your life.

In the end, no one else makes them & if change is going to happen, why not be bold?

Seems you are.

Bravo.

So very sorry to hear about your leaving Carroll- have you blocked the person? flagged him/her? reported them to goodreads? I get a fair amount of "wackos" emailing me from goodreads and usually I just block them and report them to Otis and they go away.

Hello all. Thanks for the invite. I am a YA author of fantasy and paranormal romance who left Dallas, Texas and bought twenty acres in North Mississippi. My husband, daughter, and I love our peace and quiet and taking our Kindle/Nook to BnN, BooksAMillion, Starbucks, and Cracker Barrel for an all night ereader night. I have read over thirty books since Christmas alone wiht my awesome BnN Nook. I am currently reading Hush Hush by B. Fitzpatrick for the third time, Pride and Prejudice for simple classic fiction inspiration, and Hatchet because I am using the novel in my 6th grade classroom this next year where I teach 20 eager 11 year olds who are thirsting for knowledge. LOL Well, most of them. Some have to be coerced. Looking forward to hearing from others and their reading endeavors. Cyndi ;)

Welcome Cyndi!!!! "an all night ereader night" sounds like heaven!!!

[M.J.]

I haven't got the stamina for all night reading myself - but my 88yr old mother-in -law (and life-long avid reader) stayed up all night reading after I'd given her a copy of my book. Which is a compliment I guess. Unfortunately, her memory is very poor and if you asked her a few weeks later what it was about she wouldn't be able to tell you. But she still loves reading!

[Howard]

M. J., my 91 year old mother, still a professional musician, read & commented on my newest book before publication.

It's SiFi, about Time Travel, not her normal taste but it contains a lot of true history that included Schumann & his peers & her insight, being astute & to the point, was more than helpful.

The book is dedicated to her, but not only for that assistance.

So don't count the older ones out.

They're just in a different Timeframe.

[Cyndi]

Very cool. I myself stayed up till 2:40 am reading till page 79 and had to force my eyes to close it was getting do good. Guess I came from a long line of them, as my 96 year old grandmother stayed up the other night reading her Nora Robert book. She is one of my number one fans and I hers. Ode to the bookworm. ;)
