| 8/13/2009 Hi Everyone.. There's a new teriffic site another author told me about, it's called: " Operation Desert Swap," It's to help our guys and gals in the military. You join and adopt a soldier and on October23, 2009 you send them a book, those in the military after they finish reading a book must pass it onto another soldier, I think it's a great idea ! Also you must at least write your soldier a letter once a month. Check out their site and list it on your website. I already joined .... http://operationdesertswap.webs.com:USA: Cheers...Joe... |

| joefrank...you are like a bad commercial. You keep coming up saying the same thing. Why don't you try getting books from a publisher? Writers on this forum write books, we don't print them. I'm sure the USO sends stuff to those in the service. If you really want to help the guys and gals over there...call someone in DC...get the war stopped. |

| 8/13/2009 Excuse me if I offended you, all the authors do is send a copy of their book or other books they may have available...All we're doing is trying to help these guys and gals , and I am not a bad commercial, you offended me by saying this.. Cheers..... |

| The site looks like it's more of a penpal thing than anything. It suggests a copy of the author's own book, then monthly followups with letters.
www.booksforsoldiers.com is an existing nonprofit that sends books to those stationed overseas. Why not just go that route, if books are truly what you want to send? |

| Dear friend Joe, It seems a long time since I have seen you around. I still have your lovely photographs of the leaves and the hummingbirds. I am proud of you for having the new mystery coming out. How is our Miss Dusty? What would you and I do without Wooffer or Dusty? They are so much a part of our lives. You make me smile just seeing your name because I know how very kind you are. Domenic, Like me, Joe has been part of another message board where no one knows your name and could care less if they ever hear it. Joe gives it a good shot and has much to offer. He is not a bad commercial, he is just trying to help. Love, Betty |

| 8/13/2009 Dear Betty... I had lost this site for a long time, until a few days ago I found it, then I couldn't remember the pass word, finally I did ! I have to get a rollerdex ! Miss Dusty is doing great, she's 9 now, it's hard to believe that time has flown. PA now has a new program for book signings: booksignings@publishamerica.com The young lady in charge Karen is great, she got me two book signings at a major bookstore here and a month later at a fancy pet boutique...I'm elated, I tried for 2 years, no one wanted to talk to me, but whatever Karen does, I think she put a match under them, but I'm happy, also about the muder mystery. I belong to a local newspaper pet site " The scoop," ove 400 pet lovers listed. What have you been up to ? I thought maybe you would be writing a sequel to Wooffer? I love the stories you write, very relistic and calming. I did join another site that's books for soldiers and you send it directly to them, no matter if it's your book or another kind of book, at least I know I'm making a soldier happy. Anyway what's your next project ? LOve Joe & Dusty... |
