3Rs Reading Den has grown by leaps & bounds in just 2 short years and it's all because of the support and encouragement of our "friends & visitors." The unexpected loss of loved ones, serious health issues & the complete crash of my computer, left me with the feeling of running in quicksand...
Again - the kind words of the wonderful people I've met since joining the writing community gave me the strength to keep pushing forward!
THANK YOU - from the bottom of my heart!
I have loved books for as long as I can remember! My Mom introduced me to the magical world of literature with the "Little Golden Books" and immersed me in a positive educational environment...complete with ABC,123 bedding, curtains, etc.. She was a beautiful woman, the definition of class, elegance & sexy smarts! Losing her at the age of 5 means that my memories are quite limited, simply b/c we didn't have enough time together...so, in some small way, when I open a book, I feel extra close to my Mom...knowing that I continue to embrace & enjoy the magic of books would make her very happy..
I look forward to many years reading, reviewing and sharing my love of books with everyone!

I enjoy a wide variety of music & have recently found Zen instrumental music to be very soothing & relaxing! Some folks refer to it as "spa music" - & I can see why ... I feel re-energized & totally peaceful (at least for a few minutes)
I enjoy a good stand-up that keeps you laughing 'til your face hurts...A dark, horror movie that gets you tingly & nervous...But - by far, my favorites are those based on true stories and documentaries!
You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind.
You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life.
Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling.
And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!
You're Loosely Based!
by Storey Clayton While most people haven't heard of you, you're a really good and
interesting person. Rather clever and witty, you crack a lot of jokes about the world
around you. You do have a serious side, however, where your interest covers the homeless
and the inequalities of society. You're good at bringing people together, but they keep
asking you what your name means.

My Dad & Mom My Grandpa My Granny They inspired, encouraged & guided me..They encouraged me to shoot for the moon - because even if I missed, I would land amid the stars!
My husband ~ without whom I would be as a ship, without a captain, floating aimlessly without direction, purpose or meaning... I am so thankful His love, support & unwaivering confidence without which I could never have stepped into the reading/writing/reviewing community!

I always hated standing up infront of the class & telling everyone "a little bit about yourself..."...I just never knew exactly what to say - But, here goes!
I live in the mountains of upper east Tennessee with my wonderful hubby & daughter...we have a lil' Yorkie, named Kofu, who is always right by my side!
I enjoy a wide variety of movies, music and books --I love crosswords, cross stitching, cooking, long road trips, meeting new people, learning new things...Good coffee, chunky mugs, comfy PJ's, over-sized sweatshirts, sweet cookie scented candles & books...lots & lots of books!

Wow. Things are finally falling back into normal and the stars are aligning. The cuts have healed and Adventure Three is off to the printers. A package is already addressed to you and waiting to be filled. I think this is the best adventure so far, but #4 is, which I just started is looking good. I hope all is well and I will talk with you soon. All my best. ~patrick

Hi RJ, How have you been? I've been busy here. I'm moving up to Portland next week, the next Edgar Font book is coming out soon and I now have a web program. Take a look and let me know what you think. The first few episodes are in Edgar's "video" section or on YouTube. Have a good week and an adventurous weekend. I'll talk with you more soon.
