These giants of show business and their mid career discoveries of the magic of lavage are a fascinating, postmodern phenomenon handled deftly by Jones.<BR/><BR/>Indeed, i would dare say no other writer since Hemingway has shown such a manly ability to penetrate the dark world of the World Wrestling Federation and colonic hydrotherapy, and touch upon each of them with a homoeroticism that i myself found rather stirring! <BR/><BR/><BR/>Chris Farrow<BR/>imagineblue11@yahoo.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-1135270026312195682005-12-22T16:47:00.000+00:002005-12-22T16:47:00.000+00:00Woo Hoo.

Gerard did it again.<BR/>And Dr. Ian Hocking is doing it.<BR/>Reminds me of back in the stone age when we didn't have podcasts.<BR/>I brought out my first novel, The Black Icon through a printer friend, the first review consisiting of guys reading it, out of boredom, on the assembly line. Soon the whole print shop was reading the thing, and they had journalist friends, and that's how it all started.<BR/>It took 26 years before a local library put its imprimatur on the Black Icon and I guess I could call myself published. But what we do in those 26 years of obscurity! The palliatives are everywhere, the drink, the drugs, the beautiful women--everything but hardcover authorship.<BR/>So my hat is off to you people who didn't choose self-indulgence or self destruction, but stuck with the project to the end.<BR/>Stunning achievement, Gerard Jones, and it looks like Dr. Ian<BR/>Hocking is on his way too (I do identify with a hero being chased by a shodowy "CIA" personage. One of my subsequent novels starts that way, but it looks like Ian Hocking had the discipline to turn the book into a thriller and not a personal narrative).<BR/>Good on you, gentlemen.<BR/>IvanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6656468.post-1135253607038139942005-12-22T12:13:00.000+00:002005-12-22T12:13:00.000+00:00Hi GrumpyJust a quick note to say that my own audi...Hi Grumpy<BR/><BR/>Just a quick note to say that my own audiobook/podcast is continuing in a evil-hand-rubbingly way over at my blog: http://www.ianhocking.com/dejavu/audiobook.html<BR/><BR/>I'm six podcasts into a predicted thirty-episode series (about 20 mins each). <BR/><BR/>If anyone else wants to do this, you might want to use a creative commons copyright licence (since the usual copyright licence is a bit unwieldly). I also have tips on my blog (click my name) about how a podcast can be put together equipment- and software-wise.<BR/><BR/>Merry Xmas<BR/>IanDr Ian Hockinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120409886797256087noreply@blogger.com
