Thanks Mark for your friendship...looking forward to reading your work. After I get through this hectic drama of my 1st book release, there will be some free time before starting my 2nd book. Please see my print debut - http://bookstore.iuniverse.com/Produc...THANKS AGAIN!
Hi Mark! Thanks for your friendship. I’m Gusto Dave Jackson Publicist for Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and I wouldn’t be worth my salt if I didn’t tout our blog and organization. Chiseled in Rock http://chiseledinrock.blogspot.com features side-splitting satire and some flash fiction for intellectual readers.
This week on the Rock: Classic Love Triangle (comedy video with animals), in Monday’s interview with agent AMANDA LUEDEKE she hints at what the next wave in genres will be, and erotic romance writer E.C. STACY offers up another warped cartoon.
RMFW has several bestselling authors such as NYT Bestseller JEANNE STEIN and J.A. KAZIMER. You have an open invitation to the “The Rock” for contests, entertainment, and an insight to the world of writing! Let’s follow each others’ blogs!
Thank you for your friendship. Happy reading and writing. This place helps authors connect with readers and vice versa. It is also a great way to keep up with the books you've read. (Less buying duplicates - if you read a lot.)
Hi Mark, thank you for adding this author to your circle of friends here on Goodreads. I hope you'll add my books What Would Nancy Do?, The Christmas to Remember, In the Company of Women and Finding Normal to your to-read list. I look forward to reading your book reviews and recommendations. Happy reading!










































Wow, Tom, that's quite a book you have there! You've certainly been through a lot. Adversity does, indeed, build character. I've been sharing my own story of adversity here on Goodreads as a blog. My wife and I were chased out of South Korea by her powerful family and the cops and stranded in Hong Kong. I'm calling it "Our Story," and I post a new part of it every Sunday.
