Thank you ladies for the suggestions ! I will definitely look for World without End Sany, and Death comes to Pemberley Yonuh. I will also look into P D James. I just spoke to my daughter and she told me she had read Pillars of the Earth before watching the tv shows and didn't think they were very good either. So I'm happy I saw them first !! smile

Aaron Paul Lazar is an excellent author, Chatty. I bought Healey's Cave for a neighbor and her sister bought two other books of his. I'm on my third Dianna Gabaldon, "Voyager"; the first book was 600 plus; the 2nd 700 plus and this one is 900 plus pages. This gal can write. Her descriptive abilities are outstanding! I prefer smaller books, 200 plus pages or so are fine. But once a person gets hooked on these Diana G. books, they seem to be a goner!!!

yonuh,
I'm thinking reading all those Diana Gabaldon books helped you meet the quota for that NaNoWriMo club you joined. What say you?

I don't know, jabber. I read a lot - I devour books by the dozens, hundreds even, every year. I panic if I have nothing to read!

Exactly! That's why you're able to meet a 50,000 word deadline in a month.

Love the concept of using voice recognition software to write a book. Are there any you particularly recommend?

Somewhere we have a license to an early version of "Dragon Naturally Speaking" but we haven't used it.

In a somewhat related vein, Ronda Del Boccio, who is my mastermind partner, mentioned a free tool, Screenr this morning when we were talking.

It only allows you to record five minutes at a time, but it allows you to create and share web screen casts. You could use this to read a part of a book chapter you're developing or have published, while allowing users to read it on the screen. Or read it on the screen while they hear you speak it.

It opens up some interesting book marketing options.

I love to read, but I am never getting time to focus on and make progress writing a book. Ideas from those of you who have done it are welcome!

I'm with you, Yonuh. I've always got a book going. Right now I've started rereading The Same Sweet Girls by Cassandra King. It was written in 2005, and the protagonists are all approaching 50 yrs old. They've been friends for 30 years.
Anne: Thanks for the link to Screenr. It sounds intriguing. Unfortunately, my computer doesn't have a camera. But I'll keep the info for the future, in case that should change.

On Saturday nights I watch a show called PIT BOSS, it's about a man Shorty Rossi who rescues Pit Bulls and finds then good homes. He is a small person and has just written a book called, FOUR FEET AND GROWING. I am looking for his book to begin reading it, he's had quite the life.
