Hurrah for us. Our community is still growing. Don’t hesitate to join us, if you have hesitated: we don’t send you messages or spam or any sort of mailbox clutter, or let anybody else do it, either. I’ve been known to look up an addy when I need to contact somebody specifically, but that’s the only use made of that list, pinky-swear, and if you make that first post, I can vet you’re not a lawyer from Hong Kong and all your future posts will appear immediately.

800! I think you’ve grown by about 500 since I joined last September. This is my go-to site: there is a generosity and wit that your leadership spreads through the entire community. Where else could we be discussing books, gardening, linguistics and more?
:blush: I enjoy this site—you’re a great group, no work at all to moderate: it’s always a pleasure to be here. We discuss an insane number of topics—but we have so many interests! Just wait until (as planned) Jane and I attempt to saw through the wall of her closet to come at the plumbing of the tub (in our sole bathroom) before the leak rots out the timbers of the house floor…you have not yet heard anguish and drama, especially if we end up having to hike 2 blocks to Joan’s place to get a shower for a week!
I suppose you could always bathe in the Glorious Pond, splashing away under the Magical Waterfall while the koi nibble on your toes?
Yay! It’s good to know you are well-thought-of…
Azureblu, would you mind letting me know if Linda ever got her meteorites for her students? I mailed them out before Christmas, but since then, not a peep.
…not a lawyer from Hong Kong, eh? 🙂
I had a sollicitation from Dubai this morning. A chap wanted to give me 12 million dollars to distribute to mankind, because he had a car wreck in Israel and is demising, not, however, without flooding the internet with such letters. My usual is a lawyer representing a German tourist who died in a plane crash (this varies according to the headlines) or the Haiti earthquake, wanting to give me a paltry 9 million; and the lawyer from Hong Kong who routinely hails me as dearest and wants to give me 10 million because—oh, I forget, is it the lady without issue whose husband demised, or is it the elderly businessman who wishes me to carry on his philanthropistic endeavours?
I really think the guy from Dubai is bidding the highest currently. But I STILL will not let him register on this blog. Only you fortunate and felicitous souls have that privilege. 😉
Heck, if you can get $10 Million for this blog, go ahead, and just post the new site so we can follow you 🙂 Then you could sell the books for $1 on CC and not even bother with a paper publisher…

I’m afraid I’d still want to pay the regular price for them; an author’s riches don’t make their words worth less. Besides, authors are generally only rich as Croesus in fiction, not in fact …
Hello CJ. Here is another new member saying hello.
I have enjoyed your books ever since a colleague got me to buy Gate of Ivrel, saying “Try this new author, she is going to be big”. He was right! I’ve just read Regenesis, excellent.
Thank you, and welcome!
chondrite,
Yes,and the kids absolutely loved them. It took almost three months to arrive(not unusual where she is). I am so sorry that you have not heard from her.
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity!
