I just visited the list as well, and voted :)

What fun :)

Thanks for including Sons of Avalon Merlin's Prophecy, I am all giddy inside :)"


So glad I could make you all giddy inside. :oP That's always a good feeling. I get that way every time I sell a book or get a review.

I find making lists super fun; I have 14 at the moment. I have four guides and I think I might do a goodreads themed one too. They get more exposure 'cause they are more work to write them, so logically, there are less of them.

...I'm beginning to ramble.

Thanx for the votes!

Thersa Sorry about not posting the link earlier when I found it. That would have been the nice thing to do, Doh!

And Jaimey, I also fanned you (and tossed the grape or two) and added your books to my To Read shelf.

Thanks to Todd, I'm going to devote this afternoon to tagging books by others and tagging listmania lists this afternoon. Perfect for Framing, Murder at Blue Falls and Meow Means Me! Now! are my books that need to be tagged. Email me at the address below with your Amazon link if you want me to tag yours. Thanks, Maggie Bishop ameliaadams@peoplepc.com

I have tagged your books on amazon and added the tag "goodreads author" to each. I have also made a note to add some of your books to my next "Goodreads Author" list that I am compiling. Thanx for participating and have a lovely day!

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Maggie, Thersa, all!
Thanks for continuing to tag. More authors have submitted their books so more blog updates to do!
Also, a couple more review to write - argh!
Finally, I think I'm going to add a "goodreads" shelf section to the blog to see what kind of interest there is. Looks like a good number of folks participating on the blog are also goodreads authors.
Stay tuned all - I love this group - you all rock!

I'll keep ya posted...


message 673: by Dee (new)

Dee Marie (dee_marie) | 460 comments Oh, sorry Todd...

The questions is...What is the word count on the follow-up novel for Time Cavern?

You know I am going to form a Listmania Todd Nag Team ;]


message 674: by Jaimey (new)

Jaimey (jaimeygrant) | 232 comments Lists are fixed. I overlooked a few things...


message 675: by Thersa (new)

Hello Theresa, I tagged your book at Amazon, added it to my to-read list over there and here at Goodreads.

You do not have any reviews at Amazon. If you would like to send me a pdf, I'll review it for you. I lived in Japan from 1960 to 1964 -- Dad was in the Air Force.

Thersa Maggie, hello and thanks so much for the review offer. That is incredibly sweet of you. Unfortunately, the book hasn't been published yet. It's coming out on May 1st. I'm under sworn secrecy until then.

That's always me. According to my mother, I'll be late for my own funeral.

Vincent Lowry (vlowry) | 110 comments Thanks!

I've voted yes on all the list links above, and tagged the book that tagged mine.


message 699: by Gina (new)

Gina (grcollia) Totally off topic, but related to Amazon... would any of you wonderful people happen to know how Amazon reacts to reviews that reveal vital elements of a book's plot? I just got a five star review from someone who reveals the plot and ending of The Wonderful Demise of Benjamin Arnold Guppy! Admittedly, they actually manage to get it wrong... but still, it's not on. I've used the report button, and sent a separate note through their customer support thingie, but do Amazon whisk them away at speed, or will the darned thing stay there for a month or three? :o(


message 700: by Todd Fonseca (new)

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Gina,
Good question. Usually reviewers who review plot endings indicate with a warning a spoiler alert! Usually amazon is pretty good about responding. Having said that, it has been over a week on my last question.
Let us know what happens!
