Guess what we found... our very own Erin Klingler has a book coming out this next month -- and it's already on Amazon ! Isn't that cool? I know I'm really excited for her I knew she had a book coming out, but seeing her name on Amazon was a thrill, nonetheless It's only at pre-order status right now, but Erin says it will be available before the end of April sometime... hurry and reserve your copy now PJ

I understand that Erin will also be selling copies via her very own author website once that comes online... I hope Erin will be able to update us on that very soon. Congratulations again, Erin!!

Wow, guys! I'm both flattered and thrilled that you'd be interested in my little book. Thank you! (And yes, I'm so excited about finally seeing it listed on a site like Amazon.com that I can hardly stand it. ) Originally posted by Wendymr: I understand that Erin will also be selling copies via her very own author website once that comes online... Yes, I will have copies available through the author section of my website ( http://www.erinklingler.com) for any of you who would like to get one signed--though as I've been telling people, it will probably be worth more if it *wasn't* signed. My publisher is supposed to be sending me a stack of books in the next week or so, and then I'll have PayPal "Buy It Now" links set up on my author website for anyone who wants to go that route. Oh, and Meredith reports that Amazon.com says they will ship April 3rd (Saturday). Yipee! That's a lot earlier than I expected. Meredith asked when it will be available through Amazon.co.uk's site, but I guess I don't know that. "Love Beyond Tomorrow" is no Tom Clancy thriller or J.K. Rowling phenomenon, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. (Though I'll admit, I'm not happy with a few lines my editor decided to insert into the last scene without bothering to mention it to me. Editors. :rolleyes: ) And just so you know, the characters are Mormon, so don't plan on any gratutitous sex or violence. ) For any of you interested in learning more, I have the backliner and reviews posted on my site, and will be adding a sample chapter, etc. in the next day or so. Wendy, Pam, Annette...and everyone else who's been kind enough to show an interest--thank you!! You've made my entire year.

Congratulations, Erin!!
I can't wait to get a copy - and yes - I want one that's signed <g>. It'll go on the top shelf of the bookcase (after I've read it and showed it off, of course) so that sticky fingers can't damage it. First edition, signed copy of the first book of a great writer.
Way to go! You are an inspiration to a lot of us. Lynn

Darn, darn, darn! I moved too soon with Amazon. Okay, I'm off to cancel my order so I can buy a signed copy from Erin.

Way to go, Erin!! It's way too cool to be typing a friend's name into Amazon and coming up with a result. LabRat

Has anyone else read the book yet? I finished it this afternoon by the pool. I knew it would be a Christian romance but was not expecting the heavy Mormon aspect. There were lots of references that I didn't understand, for example MTC and CTR. Something called a triple combination was mentioned and I really doubt that it's an Olympic dive. It will be interesting to see everyone's reactions, especially to the heroine Lauren.

MTC = Mormon Training Center (A campus near BYU in Provo)
CTR = Choose The Right (gets put on rings and such, sort of like WWJD, I'm told)
triple combination = Mormon scriptures (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price)
Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.

Thank you ma'am. I also found out that the "quad" that was referenced is a triple combination with the Bible added.

You're right; it's not an Olympic dive. I just saw this and thought I'd answer your questions. Rivka replied: MTC = Mormon Training Center (A campus near BYU in Provo)

That sounds interesting. I'm not Mormon myself, but I've always had an interest in learning about other beliefs, even if they were different from my own.
You know, I don't think they ever really discussed whether Kryptonians had any religious beliefs in eiher the comics or the series (correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't read that many comics). I got the impression that the New Kryptonians in L&C were very Vulcan-like. It'd be interesting to find out more about their culture, just to get a better perspective on Clark's heritage.

This does stand for "Choose The Right" and is put on rings, etc. The "etc." being this. <G>

Picking someone's brain over AIM is fun. A couple of clarifications And the lesson is, when you ask someone a question in AIM (even if they ought to know the answer! Heh, now I can tease Katie.

I've read it, and I'd like to see a discussion about it but -- forgive me, Marilyn -- considering how this thread has progressed, I thought it might fit better into our Off Topic section, so I've started a new thread there... http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic&f=10&t=000479 Y'all come on over and jump right in!
