Death on the Nile is one of my favorites. :confused: I don't think I've seen "The Hollow." Could it have a different title in a previous version? I know several were re-issued with different titles. Cathy

Hmm. Yes, and no, Ou Be. While some publishers ARE, in fact, willing to allow an author his/her head in grammar if the work is such that standard rules can't apply and retain the novelty of the work, most American publishers do hold authors to grammatical standards set out in a number of...

Hmm. I'm not quite sure what you're asking with some of the questions, but I'll try to answer and perhaps you can clarify if I didn't answer what you wanted to know. Are aboriginal Americans (or Native Americans as they're known here) considered blacks? No. They're considered Native...

Antonio doesn't do it for me as much as Ricardo Montalban. Cute YA movie is Spy Kids 2, where they're BOTH present. :D Also "give me the whim-whams" voices: Sean Connery Patrick Stewart Yum!

Okay, let me rephrase that -- what I meant to say was that I think it's unfair for a few people of one culture to demand of the rest that they be excepted from knowing the primary language. It's only realistic to accept that English is the *primary* language of America. Not the only, but the...

Hmm. Sorry you disagree. I sort of thought we were on the same page. I really would like to see the end of checkpoints and fences and border issues. We probably disagree on the way to get to the ultimate goal, though. I do think we're making headway on the race issue. Interracial...

Good point. I tend to favor balance. An equal number of liberals and conservatives that compliment the checks and balances. If a conservative is in the white house, then the judiciary or the congress should be liberal. If one county judge is liberal, then the district attorney should be...

I found it interesting because it seems to be the same every time. Cities = liberal, country = conservative. Is it that people with liberal views tend to congregate with others similar to their views, or is it being IN the city that changes the perspective? Is it how a person was raised...

HAHAHA! Too funny, SillyWabbit! Very cute. Cathy

Wow! Go away for a few hours, and it takes 30 minutes to catch up! :eek: LOL! I won't weigh in on everything, but I'll go through a few that caught my eye. Novella, yes, I read what the read was about. In my opinion, the article in question managed to play on paranoia, skew the...

You might also try the publisher's websites. A lot of times they have information on upcoming signings by their authors (especially if they're *booking* them...) Most of the sci-fi/fantasy authors are out of a few houses: Ace/Penguin (also ROC imprint) Tor/Forge/Orb Berkley They...

Welcome, FAB. You'll enjoy it here. I've seen some reviews of your books, and they seem interesting. You should get the Spanish Triology reviewed by Romantic Times Bookclub. They have a huge reader base all over the world, and it would dramatically increase your exposure and sales. Drop by...

Yes, I do. It means that certain areas chose not to show it, instead putting on a different movie. That doesn't mean it wasn't broadcast. In fact, it DID appear in a number of areas around the country. Affiliates every day change programming of the main network, for various reasons. A show...

Highly educated doesn't mean unemotional, watercrystal. Most wars and crimes are emotion-driven. Anger, and hate and fervant belief that one belief or another is "right" cause intelligent people to lose their minds, or at least shut down their minds long enough to cause harm. Do people need...

Hence, saying it WAS broadcast. Whether affiliates feared the FCC was immaterial. I doubt they will do anything to the network. We'll have to agree to disagree. I could find completely opposing reports in the press. But that's the beauty of this country. You can FIND opposing reports. ;)

And see, I disagree. I actually think that the U.S. is more tolerant than many places in the world. Of the thousands and thousands of schools here, there are a very few where the bannings occur, and they seldom occur for long (usually only until the next month's PTA or school board meeting)...

Fair enough. What do you consider free, bobby?

Freedom is one of those tricky things. Everyone interprets it differently. Does making a movie available or not available on network television imply freedom? Not to those with no access to network (only satellite here, folks, with no local channels). Not to those with no television. Is a...

Hmm. There are a couple of ways. Check your local bookstore. If it's a chain, like B&N, Hastings or Waldenbooks, they usually have a flyer at the front desk with upcoming in-house signings. You're also in an area where there are a lot of Cons. Sci-fi conferences and the like usually have...

have you ever been in true love? Yep. Am now! 20 years and counting. can you dance? Nope. can you sing? Used to be better than I am now. Had a 4 octave range in high school. Probably only 3 now :( can you paint/scuplt/draw? Not so much as a straight line! :rolleyes: can you...
