Aww thanks :) I like the quote by the way.
I'm in the final editing stages of my first novel(in short, a war story); And I'm in the process of writing a second book, kind of like a self/help book I guess..It's about a situation that happened in my life- and it's changed it dramatically, and I want to help those who have been through the same thing and don't know what to do- or just help those in general. I got professional help for it- but I know for a fact some won't even tell a soul. And I hope in writing this that it helps those who won't tell someone...(well, I hope it helps everyone who reads it..but yea)
And I've also written several poems that have been published in the newspaper and online, along with several other poems that i've written that I hope will one day be collected in a book :)

Psh....I've read it. it's completely predictable, and if you've read
Jurassic Park- or
Sphere, then you'd totally see it (
Prey) as a rewrite of both those books.
On the other hand, I concur- that although it was predictable, it's not
that bad of a book.

As for me; I just started reading "Flirting with Fourty" written by Jane Porter.
And I just finished "Right before your eyes" (dont remember the author) But it was an excellent book.
