Popping In to Say Hello
Hi,
Shirley here. Just popping in to see what's going on. The new format threw me for a moment, but I got it. I like that I can add this to my favourites (English Spelling) and not have a difficult time finding it as I did with the other format.

Virgin Island Location Stories
Hi:
Last year Sandra Kitt's "Adam and Eva" was on my top ten books. I loved the story and I am very interested in stories that have a localtion in the Virgin Islands? Can you suggest any titles that take place there? Reading "Adam and Eva" was like going back to St. John and St. Thoumas.
Thanks,
Vince

Followup Question on New Spirit
Wayne,
I didn't see whether you'd gotten an answer about New Spirit not accepting submissions on the old board before it was shut down. I'm putting this here because we apparently can't start new discussions in the New Spirit folder.

Back Publishings.
Hello I am new to this forum but I am happy to know that they have it. Now maybe I may get answers to my long awaited question.Being an Arabesque reader before Harlequin buy out, I know most of these books are no longer in publishing. I would like to know would Kimaini be able to re-release some of these published authors in the near future.I am interested in all of Alice Wootsen as well as a sequel of Linda Walter "On a Wing and a Prayer" which was "A Matter of Time". I would appreciate any input or direction on this subject thank you. I really enjoy books with sequels and continued characters.
Ce-Love I know that each
Ce-Love
I know that each month one of the Arabesque releases is new and one is a reissue since Harlequin is trying to rerelease several of the older books published by Pinnacle and BET. However, the reissues for the next few months are by the more best selling authors: Brenda Jackson, Donna Hill, Adrianne Byrd, Gwynne Forster, Rochelle Alers.

Back Publishing
Hi,
Arabesque does reissue some of the books. However, one way to let the publishers know you want the books is to write to them. You'll have to snail mail a letter to the editors at Kimani Arabesque and ask them about reissues. Tell them your love of the books. A letter goes a long way.

Hi Shirley H.
I got your newsletter the other day and was glad to see the Claytons continuing. Since they are not being published under Harlequin, I will have to go out and search for the latest. Hopefully my local Walmart will have it. They are usually my first try.

The Clayton series aren't all from Harlequin. There are several books published by Kensington. The newer books are from Kensington.

The Clayton's
I finished On My Terms and really enjoyed it. You mean I have missed something.
I just went to look over your newsletter and realized I have The Secret. I bought it when it was released and I ashamed to say I haven't read it. I didn't realize it was Clayton story and it was related to A Father’s Fortune and Love on Call. I think it was the switch of publishers that confused me. Now that know it is definitely moving out of the box and to the top of the list. I just wrote a comment that I have been hoarding great gems in my TBR boxes.
Well Rosa's book is going on my 2008 must read list as well as Right Guy, Wrong Gown. I'm glad you put out that newsletter.

The Secret - Shirley H. I
The Secret - Shirley H. I read Owen's story this weekend and all I can say is this reaffirms my decision to read more from my shelf is stop buying so many books. On the other hand if I stop buying books I won't have so many hidden treasures on my shelf. I don't know how I didn't relate this book to the earlier Clayton books. I know it had something to do with the change is publisher.

About out of print books from BET and Pinnicle
I live in Charleston and we have used book trading places. That is how i got a chance to read all of Brenda Jackson and Francis Rays, and other that where printed long ago. I realzie this is a foru not looked at much, because a lot of this things where posted 2 months ago. But if that person still wants to get out of print books check eba and places like that.
Give God thanks in all things.

A Exciting New World...
Hi All
I just purchased a Sony Reader and I'm so hooked, I keep downloading books....but I'm over my budget for the month, so I've stopped. Anyone here uses a ereader and loved ebooks as much as I do.. Of course, it double good because all the Harlequin/Silhouette/Kimani books are availabile in this format. Beats waiting two weeks for my books to get here. Now, it's instand download.

Movies
My list is short this summer. Maybe there are others that will catch my eye.

Wayne - Right now I can't get into ebooks. I don't have a reader and sitting in front of my computer to read is not fun. Maybe I'll try a reader someday, but I'm kind of old-fashioned with it comes to reading.

E-Book Reader and E-books
I love e-books, print books, all kinds of books. Since I'm a bookaholic... I read my e-books on my laptop for now. I have a huge computer file full of them. I would love to get an e-book reader. The Sony Readers are so nice. A friend of mine has one here and I just love it. It has a nice leather case and it's so sleek. I would love to get one. But I can't seem to stay out of the mall. I spent my e-book money on a cute summer wardrobe...
So I guess I'll be reading them on the laptop for a little while longer...

Movies & Books
I just saw Narnia and Indiana Jones. And I bought Season 2 of Monk because he makes me laugh. Dark Knight is a must-see. I'm not sure about Hancock. Must see Mark Wahlberg in It's Happening - Sci-fi apocalyptic movie.
But I've been doing some reading too. I haven't bought any e-books because I work in the day job on a computer and write my books on the laptop. Physically holding a book is a release from the gadgets.

TV...
I'm a TV addict more so that movies. I spend lots of time on prime time. I don't mind the summer, especially for the cable channels...
IN PLAIN SIGHT looks good, as well as the new season of L & O; CI... There are a few more summer series coming... Did any one watch THE TUDORS. Awesome riviting television...
wj
Indiana Jones
If you were a fan of Indiana Jones, then it's right up your alley. Nothing spectacularly different. But I enjoyed it. I liked all the movies with all its over-the-top story lines and extreme characters.
I did hold out for a cameo of Sean Connery, just because...
But I have to say that Harrison Ford sported his 65 year old physique very well. Face was always weathered, but his body was in shape. And even though I know they used stunt men, he still had to be pretty agile to do what he did.
It gets my vote.

There's always the long weekend coming up. Maybe I'll do two movies - Hancock and Wanted.
