Hi hi!

Hi ya, you sorted out the cock ups from last week then!
Yes but only because i smiling a genius lol
Sharon wrote: "Hey. i love the cover."Yes I figured perhaps more people would buy Cally's Secret with two adorable babies on the front as opposed to three fat women, albeit that they were only temporarily destined to be fat! And the fact that it was as far removed from the previous cover as it was possible to be - a sort of before and after so to speak!
Morning all the sun is shining here. Springs on the way.

Morning all,
We have just had a snowstorm! Luckily it didn't settle! I am so jealous, and so sick of sliding down the drive every time I go through the gate!
You will be pleased to hear that I managed to add 2 pages to chapter 40 yesterday Sharon.
Sharon wrote: "Cool, I loved chapter 39."I am tying up loose ends, 40 gives reasons for things that have hapened previously I have about 35000 words or so to the end should be ample I think to get me to a star spangled finale, and of course leave the door slightly ajar, in case I need to transport the characters from there into another book!
I'm cooking Roast Chicken for lunch today got a couple of bargain chickens in Super U reduced to 3 Euros from 7, one went in the freezer and the other went in the oven, Alain needs bones for his chasse dog, black he may even get a little meat too as a special treat - He had ham bones yesterday and Sunday, lots of yummy marrow for him to slurp inside!
Trisha wrote: "Morning"Morning Trisha, our turn for snow today, it didn't settle though, which is good, though at least it would be a cleaner substance to slide down to the garage on for a few hours at least!
Morning TrishaHmmm sounds very intriguing, I look forward to it.
Lol okAll our snow melted yesterday afternoon

Questions like where did the C4 come from? how he knew where to find Antoine to try to finish him off as he was one of the people on his 'to do list'!
Did the children get chance to make a snowman before it melted or was it gone when they got home from school?
Cool. Obviously I will have to read the whole thing again once it is completely finished (probably more then once if I know you - lol)
Sharon wrote: "Cool. Obviously I will have to read the whole thing again once it is completely finished (probably more then once if I know you - lol)"Yep you know me too well, LTSC now The Menorah Murders is off to the Editors this Friday, I will catch him by surprise, he thinks he has to wait until the 12th but Christmas arrives late sometimes, and thanks to an unexpected windfall I have the money earlier than expected!
Do you want to read through it for me before I send it to him? There are lots of changes in the first 15 or so chapters that I don't think you've had the pleasure of yet!
Sharon wrote: "Yes of course, you know me."Yes, okay I will get it in the mail now!
Afternoon ladies!I have great news, found a flat; only 40 euros more expensive, it has 3 bedrooms, an OVEN, balcony and we have the option to buy when we sell ours. And maybe in two months time I'll be childminding a little baby. It's turning out to be a great month

Sarah wrote: "Did the children get chance to make a snowman before it melted or was it gone when they got home from school?"Not the right kinda snow for snowmen but they did get to go play in it

Oh Eva that's fantastic news, I'm pleased for you I'll start sending all the nice recipes through that you couldn't do before without an oven!
We don't get snowdrops here in the hedgerows, I wonder why that is? We have bluebells in the woods and in some places cylamen frow wild under the hedges in the autumn. I shall have to get some bulbs sent out here and plant my own and start off a new craze!

That's good they at least got to play in it, and come in wet, cold and in need of hot chocolate by the fire to thaw out no doubt!
Trisha wrote: "Yea but they had lots of fun"Good for them. Our weather here is bizarre today, we/ve had rain, sleet, snow, high winds and now sunshine and blue sky!
Morning allMore bizarre weather today, five minutes again the sky was black as thunder and the rain was bouncing off the road, and now the suns out!
Morning, It is so cold here today, we are probably in for some more of that white stuff.
Sharon wrote: "Morning, It is so cold here today, we are probably in for some more of that white stuff."Morning, well the rest of France is set to get it, but not us! And my dad always said there were times when it was too cold to snow, and if that's so why is there tons of the stuff at the North Pole?
lol - Good point!. I am getting slightly frustrated with twitter, it wont let me tweet anything. Have you had that problem?
Sharon wrote: "lol - Good point!. I am getting slightly frustrated with twitter, it wont let me tweet anything. Have you had that problem?"Err not sure, I haven't been on twitter today as yet, heading towards 3000 followers mark!
Cool. I haven't even reached 1000, but in all farness, I have been neglecting it. hee hee
Hi everyone. What do you think is a good way of coming up with a book title?
2920 is this mornings total! No I don't have a problem I managed to tweet to a fellow linked in member just!
Hi Tony. To get my titles for poems, I look at the music I listen to (soft rock, heavy metal) and sometimes choose a few words from them which gives me my title. Book wise, going by what the main plot is about, I would play with words from that.
That is another thing - Linked In. I am on there but still have not grapsed the workings of it yet.
Tony wrote: "Hi everyone. What do you think is a good way of coming up with a book title?"Hi Tony,
Like Sharon said the plot of your book should throw up several options, pick a couple and try them out - I have just changed the title on my second book from Light the Seventh Candle to its subtitle of The Menorah Murders - because I got the feeling it was a little to Mills and Boon for a murder thriller!
Sharon wrote: "That is another thing - Linked In. I am on there but still have not grapsed the workings of it yet."Lol you and me both, Arthur sent me an invitation and even though I click on accept itstill doesn't seem to work! Blondie strikes again I suppose!
How did you get on with the reading on the train?
I didn't. THis dozy blonde left it on my desk. DOH!
Sharon wrote: "I didn't. THis dozy blonde left it on my desk. DOH!"Sounds like something I would do that! What a team! I managed to read up to chapter 5, I am so bored with reading it, this must be the 20th time at least- time to get it up or sale. I do hope Paul doesn't find too much for me to correct!
