Please Introduce yourself here (January 2012 part 2)

[Kath]

Five more people and we hit 1,100! Are we saving the next party for 1.500?

[Maureen (Mews)]

It must be around 6 months since the group started. We should have a 6 month party!

[Simon (Highwayman)]

We should have a 1111 party. It would be great if we could hit 1111 at 11:11 on 1st

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Geek!!

[Patti (baconater)]

Our party co-ordinator needs to get cracking.

Oh, Emma?

[Joanna]

Love that idea, Simon! A 1111 party!!
We launched our novel on 12-Jan-12 at 12:00 :D

Lol! Ready and waiting :-) we definitely need a party soon, it's been AGES (well prob a couple of weeks anyway!)

[Rachel]

Hi all. I joined the group a while back but just had to re-join :(

Anyway I'm a newbie and I LOVE chicklit!!!

[Lorraine]

Hi Rachel !

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Hi Rachel.

Isn't it time for a February Introductions thread? Patti? Simon?

[Patti (baconater)]

Whoops. You're right, Gingerlily.

Welcome Rachel! You're in good company. Lots of chick lit lovers in here!

Sorry things messed up and you had to rejoin. I wonder what happened?

Hi Rachel!

[Ian]

Hi everyone.

I'm Ian. Twin brother of Stu. My debut novel - ABIDE WITH ME - is released in two months, and I've just put together a short story collection - UNCLE MILDRED AND OTHER STORIES - with all proceeds going to cancer charities in the US and the UK. In total, I have had almost forty short stories published online and in print, one of which - SURF RIDER - has recently been longlisted for a Derringer Award.

So, hi there :)

[Lorraine]

Hi Ian and welcome ! Funnily enough I saw you posted on Kuforum today and I was wondering if you were ever going to pop across to say hi on here :)

[Patti (baconater)]

Well hi, Ian!!!

Stu has told us nothing about you!!! ;)

I'm so glad you've joined us. I'm sure (I hope!) Stuart has warned you that we're all bonkers and very friendly and once you open your author thread we'll go in and talk about food....
There may also be talk of whips but only if Gingerlily finds your thread...

[Emma]

Hi Ian, welcome to goodreads. Only asked Stu the other day if you were on here. Looking forward to reading your work too. Absolutely loved Stu's Tollesbury Time Forever :-)

[Emma]

Am sure GL will give you a tour of her dungeon if you ask nicely!!

Ian, one-clicked uncle Mildred, looks good and love Rebecca's painting

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Hi - did someone mention whips and dungeons? I'm all ears!

[Patti (baconater)]

Ears. Uh huh. Our widdle bunny you are.

[Lorraine]

Lol !

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I may be a bunny, but I ain't widdling!

[Patti (baconater)]

Don't make me cut off your widdle powder puff tail!

Oops. Think I just had a cartoon moment.

[Philip (sarah)]

Welcome Rachel and Ian.Looking forward to finding out more about you both.

Patti were you up too late last night?

[Kath]

Welcome Rachel and Ian - Ian, poor lad, you have a hard act to follow here!

[Geoff (G. Robbins) (merda constat variat altitudo)]

Hello Rachel and Ian. Good to see you've started posting Rachel, it's all downhill from here. Every post is easier than the one before, ask Patti.

[Jud]

Welcome Rachel and Ian and anyone before that who I have missed

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Oooh, I'm getting close to 5000 comments. Better start posting a bit more...

[Jud]

I'm still miles off 4000 :o(

[Ian]

Thanks for the lovely welcome, everyone. And Emma, thanks so much for downloading the book. A cause close to me heart, you know. My stuff is a little different from Stu's. Not so much of the beautiful poetic phrasing, more sort of stripped down. But we both share the lunacy gene so there's some oddness in there too :)

[Elle]

Hello Hello Hello!

[Ian]
