Hi Folks, if you are interested in what things/life was like in the 1930's till the 80's in the Midlands UK.
I could recomend 2 books. These 2 books are about the author's family life has a Blacksmith.
So if your're interested I could give you details. He started writing after he had recovered from an heart attack.

My book's called Beyond His Dark Materials. It's literary criticism, so it's pricey--though as academic books go, it's on the lower end of the spectrum--but at some point there should be copies in college libraries. It's only been out since September so I'm not sure how many libraries have purchased it yet. There is a kindle version coming at some point.

Tad I was looking around amazon...is your book called "Blue"? If so I'm getting it asap!

I do have the golden compass around here somewhere so I'll dig it up and read it in your honor...

How do you go about getting a book on Kinde? Does it cost an arm and a leg?


Hi there. It doesn't cost a thing. They just take a cut out of your sale.

I'm very proud of you! Congratulations! Can you provide us with the name of the book? I'm reading Antonia's book now.


Thanks Snodderly. It is called "Blue." I don't really want to post my name here, but if you are on Amazon, you can do a search. My initials are D.E.M. I know we are not supposed to post links, but there are a few on here that know how to get in touch with me on the alt.

Yes, but please please PLEASE understand that I am a newbie. I'm not the best writer and it has a few Stephen King-ish parts to it.

The funny thing is, I started writing this months before the crap with X began and had it almost finished. I had it all done except for the last two chapters. I knew how it would end, I just didn't have it written. When X started her "journey", I put it down. I finished it recently and read it. I couldn't believe how much I had in common with one of the main characters in the story. Kind of creepy.

I would have never even started it except for the fact that X kept encouraging me to write a book when I lost my radio job the first time.

Again, please go easy. I do not consider myself a writer.

Hmm.. I was looking too and having a hard time finding it. Got an ISBN number?

Congrats on getting it done!
Heard any good music lately? Been into the blues lately (BB, etc.) Good stuff!

Had a friend the other day that was telling me about a Come Together version by Michael Jackson. Actually pretty good. smile
