My real interest is reading fiction. It doesn't call for high maintenance. I don't have to remember to water them or feed them. I don't have to lavish time and attention on them. More, they keep me entertained, and if I cannot go to sleep, I have a trusty few that works better than sleeping pills.
Müzik
I love music, especially lyrical music with vocals, where I can hear the words, where the words are not offensive, just corny. I like to listen and sing along.
Filmler
I love the ones they categorise as "drama". I love those that make me weep buckets. Comedy is great, but not the "slapstick" stuff. I enjoy westerns, and sci-fi too.
Televizyon
There isn't much to interest me on television these days. I'd rather read fiction for entertainment.
Kitaplar
I like bestselling novels -- i.e. popular or mainstream fiction. I'm happy to follow the herd. If so many people love a bestselling book, I reckon "so many people" cannot be wrong! These readers have done me a favour by vetting the novels for me.
I have enjoyed books by Nelson de Mille, Judith McNaught, James Clavell, Edna Ferber, Lloyd Douglas, Jennifer Fallon, David Gemmell, Georgette Heyer etc. -- in no particular order.

I hate housework. I'm a good cook but I hate washing up. I love the garden but I don't like the hard work needed to make the garden look beautiful.
Well, however much we may love or hate anything, we gotta get on with life, and do what we must, if only putting in the minimum effort.
ABOUT MY BOOK
My book is now out of print. Some bookstores may still have a few copies, and Amazon may have some used copies for sale.
As the author, I have a small stock for sale which I have made available (in Australian dollars) from my website. It is also made available as a PDF download for $5.00:
WELL!! Now, I can justify my years and years of neglecting my house and garden by saying, "And didn't I get my novel published?"
So will I continue to neglect my house and garden?
What do you think???? You BET! I have a sequel to write!!!
Kimle tanışmak isterim:
Friends! Old friends and NEW friends. I'd like to make many, many new friends here on MySpace.
I'd like to connect with people who share my interests, who enjoy the same things I do:
I read a lot, mostly fiction, especially historical fiction, women's fiction, historical saga. I also read romances, westerns, thrillers and mysteries too.
I like people who enjoy the same old old songs/music of yesteryears and movies--classics as well as the box office hits of today.
I also love people with an attitude. I wish I could be as confident to have one too! And I surely admire people who champion causes.
Most of all, I'd like to meet readers and discuss books. If you happen to have read my book, I would love to hear from you.
I'm not here to promote anybody else's products. Promote your products on your page, and be friends with me.
Sanchona, Thanks for the invite! I read the first chapter and now I am off to order the book! The first paragraph in your "about me" section could have been written by me LOL! I also like to read lots of different types of fiction. I seem to go in phases with the types of books I read :D I can't wait to read your book!
Hi Sanchona! Thanks for the friend request! I am a fellow housework hater, and also detest paying bills or organizing finances. I enjoyed your first chapter! Kate sounds like a gutsy girl. debbie
Thanks for the birthday wishes! I did have a great time. Hope all is well in Australia! How's that new novel coming along?? You bet I'll be reading A Family of Strangers! :)
Aw, thank you for the early birthday wishes. ^___^ I actually am still waiting to pick up a copy of your book from B&N, so rawr, coincidence. =D Hope all is well with you! And thankies, again. <3
Sanchona Thanks for the information on your book. I will buy it and read it. I am always look for good historical fiction authors. I'm studying for an important work related exam now so my reading is on hold...but come October 21st I will be free to read again. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for the interest. I'll pick up a copy of your book as soon as I finish, "The Count of Monte Cristo." I'm about three quarters through it. It was kind of my warm up for, "Atlas Shrugged," but I'll make a detour since this is the first book I've seen on the myspace (plus, I enjoyed the first chapter and the synopsis).
hey sanchona! i hope your working on that sequel! i'm dying to know what happened to kate! have a great day, and don't break your computer in the process! abra
I really enjoyed reading your first chapter and just bought the 1st prequel on amazon. Will you be coming out with a paperback version of a Family of Strangers? Thanks and keep the books coming, there are not nearly enough GOOD historical fiction novels out there.
I am very sorry sweetest love to keep changing on you like this. I know it annoys some people so I wanted to apologize because I will do it one more time. Just to give you a warning, love. I do hope everything is well, though. -Earl of White Rose
