Posted on Wednesday, December 01, 2004 - 01:53 pm:        Hi all, happy holidays. I have become so incredibly busy and I really don't have time to post anymore--though I peek in from time to time and read. Anyway--the BLACK WORLD TODAY came out with their christmas list of 10 books you should read for the holidays. Imagine how surprised I was to find one of my books on the list! The review is "strange" however--because my book has nothing to do with Garbo's 1926 film (one of my fave films), other than I borrowed the title. http://www.tbwt.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=356&Itemid=40 There's some pretty strong titles on the list and I'll be checking out some of the others myself.   Kola_boof "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Kola_boof Post Number: 515 Registered: 07-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Because it's been so difficult for my publisher to get my books reviewed--this means so much to me. This review also ran in the Buffalo Times. OK. Gone again. I love you, my family.   Troy "Cyniquian" Level Poster Username: Troy Post Number: 191 Registered: 01-2004 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)
