How else can I fill an entire bookcase?<br /><br />You're right about new blood--the blessing and challenge of an open critique group. <br /><br />CarolCarol Woodsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-80158816836493652362011-11-01T11:38:27.437-05:002011-11-01T11:38:27.437-05:00Carol, thanks for the update on the Lessers, and c...Carol, thanks for the update on the Lessers, and congratulations on the group's birthday. What an extraordinary run--there could well be a book in that alone. Great to hear there is wonderful and talented new blood there these days; that's no doubt what has kept the group going strong so long. And I hope there's space on that shelf for me, too. I'd love to be in that company.Elizabeth Lyndhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02638768950811415099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-50783621511949684772011-11-01T10:39:45.745-05:002011-11-01T10:39:45.745-05:00Elizabeth, well said.

I wouldn't want to be the one to insist on a tiara for any of these men, but agree that one would look good on them, if only metaphorically.<br /><br />Bill Lee has a new book out, Home is a Long Time Ago (Sunbury Press), a love story. He's working on a new manuscript. The gist of this one is, don't kill his girl, or you will spill guts you didn't know you had--then you die.<br /><br />Jeb, his vocabulary on super-steroids, has created yet another other-world, full of duplicity, color, and sound. <br /><br />As long as we're focusing on the men from the Lessers, meet Ray, Carl, Hunter, and Gerardo--and listen to their eclectic mix of stories.<br /><br />Incidentally, the Lessers turned 24 in October. Many faces, several meeting locations, one focus.<br /><br />Joan, I'm glad to hear you're collecting Lessers' books. I have a shelf dedicated to just that, and plan to expand that to the entire bookcase as time goes on (hint, hint--there will be room for your books).<br /><br />Carol Woods, Benign Dictator of Lesser North Texas WritersCarol Woodsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-32385596509815846452011-11-01T07:58:15.966-05:002011-11-01T07:58:15.966-05:00Great post--those guys are terrific!

I own two of Bill Lee's, just bought WWSD (I critiqued only part of it at Lessers) and pre-ordered the collection featuring Bill Francis.Joan Morahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03152990243138876941noreply@blogger.com
