| Josh is working on his next Jessewaves column and debates the self publishing v publishing house costs and profits etc... scary fact - so far for Dangerous Ground all he personally has made (i think before tax) is $5342!! criminally low figure hey? |

| That's craziness. It makes me wonder how many authors never make a profit. | |

| Oh, a two week stagger would have been awesome! It would have been a delightful fall treat for me. As it is now I have to make decisions. Ugh. | |

| Finished Snowball In He'll. I'm not really a fan of period stories and I would have to say the 1920s-40s would probably be my least favourite of all, but I loved this book! Including the time it was set in. I'm glad that we're getting another book. | |

| I finished Rifter so much to discuss. I feel like I know more for some reason. I'll wait to comment until everyone finishes. Finished CUTYS too. I agree Shay is was a fabulous read | |

| CUTYS It was a fantastic book. I found it a bit intense to want to reread right away. Well, maybe some select scenes... | |

| Personally, I think this may be Josh's most beauriful writing. Not the most intense, or the sexiest, or the funniest...but the words and phrases were .... Well, beautiful. | |

| I agree with you, 2shay. When you compare some of his older books to CUTYS you can clearly see he has matured and grown as a writer. It was all around an excellent book. | |

| Josh certainly knows how to write a well turned phrase, and I love how his characters grow and are so fully developed. When everything is so beautifully crafted, it doesn't matter what emotional wringers the author has put me through, I want to experience it again anyway. CUTYS certainly qualifies. | |

| CUTYS Swift's thoughts about his father's funeral might have been the most beautiful imagery I've ever read. It brought tears to my eyes. Not in a weepy, emotional way; just because it was very moving. Josh can do that. The story was about a poet. Josh put the poetry in Swift's thoughts.....for us. wow... | |
