Author J. J. Hebert	Feb 21 2009 3:14 AM As you may or may not know, I turned twenty-five recently. Instead of gifts this year, I'm asking everyone to join my Email List on www. jjhebert. net. Unconventional, my newest novel, will be published by Mindstir Media later this year, and joining the Email List will ensure that you receive updates regarding my book release, contests, giveaways, and more.
GABRIELA ROMARIA	Feb 9 2009 10:20 PM Hi! Have a very good week, full of joy and love!... Never say:"It's too late,...'cause where is love, everything come true!" Make the most of life, love and be loved, worship the friends you have ..'cause they can be the diamants sent to us from above! Gabriela Romaria
GABRIELA ROMARIA	Nov 13 2008 4:22 PM Thank you for your friendship! You’re great! My page will show a new profile for a week!!!................. Like a symbol of the praying for the right cause of all these children in world!!! My idea comes when on of myspace friends, Pastor Frank from "CHAIR BEAR MINISTRY" Serving Children with Disabilities & Life-Threatening Illnesses, email me this: “It has been pretty said here within the States due to the major loss of employment and all the many people loosing their homes that I just do not know what to do for the many that suffer around me and I feel that my hands are tied. As a Clergy member I have a very opened mind and I do not stand in judgment on others because it takes everyone to unite to see true peace on earth. If you would like to help our cause please pray that the blessings of abundance will overflow within our wells and that our cup will never run empty.” Please add the same profile to your page for one week as a symbol of fraternity! Bless, bless, bless!!!!

Camellia F. Petal	Mar 31 2008 5:03 AM You know... I have some amazing writers in my classes this year and three weeks to fill with them after the AP exam in May. Imagine how much of a rock star I'd be in the eyes of my students if I could score a guest speaker like you. Also, you could single-handedly be the fiery inspiration for some kid's first novel. I'm just sayin'.
Thomas	Feb 2 2008 4:22 PM Hi, some fool have used my site to make that comment below! It wasn't my comment! Michael Simon is really a great auhtor, by the way!
Anthony Neil Smith	Jan 6 2008 2:33 PM Thanks for the add. Enjoying your books and looking forward to more. All best in 08.
Judy	Dec 17 2007 7:55 PM Many thanks for the add. And thanks for the great reading time I always enjoy with your books. Happy Holidays and Best wishes...Judy
Monique	Nov 19 2007 11:44 PM Many thanks for the addition to your myspace friends and family Monique
Sam Suede	Nov 18 2007 4:44 AM My previous comment was too vague. I'll try to emulate your style of concise, to-the-point writing and sum up the jist of my comment in one simple sentence... Your books are masterpieces. Sam
Sam Suede	Nov 16 2007 5:56 PM I gotta disagree with Greg's comment below. I thought that the number of plot threads in Dirty Sally was good - keeping the plot moving fast and furious - and you tied them up satisfyingly. Nearly all authors could've and should've had more editing before publication. Your books don't have any fluff, fillers or unnecessary tangents. I don't know whether it's all your doing, or if your editor deserves a piece of the credit, but your books are published in a "just right" form.
Sam Suede	Nov 16 2007 5:44 PM I think that you're being hacked. Somehow I don't think you'd post a comment to me with a link to learn about my karma. Sounds a bit too New Agey/Hippie-ish for you.
Camellia F. Petal	Aug 27 2007 4:52 AM Happy birthday, my favorite creator of intensity and authenticity and uncertainty and grit. I love the world of your books. I'll have to slide your new one in somewhere between The Scarlet Letter and Gatsby. Huck Finn has occupied my summer reading. I need an escape route. Don't ya think? See you Wednesday!
Sam Suede	Aug 26 2007 5:19 AM Jasmine has read both Body Scissors and Little Faith today, and The Last Jew Standing is on reserve at our library. I know, call us cheap, but we gotta save some dough. Maybe the library will order more copies of your books, when they notice that they're flying off the shelves. I hope you're writing another book - we're dying to find out what happens what that Last Jew finally sits down. I bet he'll recline, so that the seder can commence.
Sam Suede	Aug 25 2007 6:24 PM My wife, Jasmine, has just finished reading Dirty Sally, and it's official - she has pronounced you to be BTE (Better than Ellroy). Jasmine refuses to do anything today, 'cause she's staying in bed reading Body Scissors. I'm gonna finish reading Dirty Sally ASAP, but I'm swamped with work at the moment. Sam
