Hi Heide, thanks for the add! If you haven’t already, please check out my novel, GETTING IN TUNE, and hear the fictional Killjoys at www. rogertrott. com. The story is about an angst-ridden guitarist who drags his band onto the road in search of the transcendent power of Pete Townshend’s Universal Chord. It’s a wild ride through the world of ‘70s rock & roll.
Hi Heidi! Thanks for the friendship! Where does your novel take place in Indonesia? My husband studied abroad there and I visited him for a week in Bali--gorgeous. But his whole family's into SE Asia--his brother's an ethnomusicologist. Can't wait to read it.
Heidi you inspire me! “Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.”-Karen Ravn Happy Easter, Love DDF
Each time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others... he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968)
Congratulations on your book!! I never knew you even aspired to be an author, but I can't say I'll ever be surprised again! I'm really happy for you. God bless, go for it, and be the absolute best you can be!!
Hey, Heidi! Thanks for friending me! Good luck with your book; it sounds wonderful. Sooo glad I've found other debut authors (and beach-lovers) on MySpace!
Hey there fellow writer. I'm at last settled accross the Pond, just wanted to say hello and thanks again for all the advice, I'll be in touch. Myspace and reading writer's blogs is keeping at least part of me in The States! C.
