Book review: Isaac and the Egg, by Bobby Palmer
Isaac and the Egg by Bobby PalmerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book. It's quite unique. I'm glad I decided to read it. It kept me entertained on my journey to and from work for a few weeks. It's very imaginative and immersive. We follow Isaac Addy who is grieving the death of his wife. At his lowest point, at the start of the novel, he finds an Egg. I thought the characters were Read more of this blog post »

Hi Maria, I'm glad you enjoyed the blog novel. Thanks so much for the thorough review ;) (and cross-posting the review on other places!). I think my first two books (writing/editing/publishing/marketing) have exhausted me quite a bit...I'm looking forward to "continuing on a degree" soon (in the process of registering for classes). I think it'd be a nice change of pace.Thanks again. Have a great weekend; I will send good thoughts/good karma your way in the meantime.
Jess.

Maria, thanks for the friendship, make good use of your "in-between" time. Best, cinda williams chimawww.cindachima.com
Happy St. Paddy's to you Maria . . . Love your leprecauhns!! (let's keep 'em guessing about that one!) -- Quinn
Hi Maria --Thanks for your recent comment regarding 'Horse Latitudes' in the Amazon UK fiction forum "Why hasn't somebody made the movie??"
Unless the book in question is plot-driven, genre fiction (ala Tom Clancy), gotta stand by the old adage "Great books make bad movies." Great books are the product of great writing. It's all about words. Films are a visual medium. One doesn't readily translate into the other (or with the same effect). I've always felt novelists are closer to musicians or composers than screen writers. Tho I wouldn't mind some Hollywood producer writing me a fat check for the movie rights.
By the way, hope you have a very happy birthday!
Quinn

Maria, thank you so much for the glowing Amazon review you gave What Remains. You certainly boosted sales.I've just received my copy of A Time to Tell and look forward to it--though my mother will probably read it first. She is staying with me to recover from hip surgery and is enjoying my home library.
Again, many thanks!
Hi Maria,Thanks for the friendship on Goodreads. As a writer myself, I am looking forward to reading your books
