Yes, many people, including Tim and me, have full sets of these. I think they are wonderful.

*GASP* I have never heard of those books before. 🙁
Then my work is done for today. I’ve found a way to make you spend MORE MONEY ON BOOKS.
Which one should I start with?
Birthdays.
cool!
thanks for sharing..i love this type of stuff.
They are really good books. And if you’re looking for Mr. Right, the Relationships one is full of information.
I like them … but I prefer that my friends have them — because I can only use one day of them … feel free to xerox August 11th and send it my way!
Hey wait … are those completely different books then the birthday books? Anm I mad? I think so … nevermind
I don’t know if you’re mad or not. But when I say that about someone (Truman Capote!), I mean it in only the best way. 😉
I can’t wait to answer your e-mail when I have time. I loved what you said about Capote. But can’t believe you’re still picking on poor John Knowles.
I calls them like I sees them
Capote flaxen haired diminutive literary god
Knowles weasely little fink
🙂
I think it’s because you think Knowles is Gene. I don’t think Knowles killed anyone.
I don’t think Gene did, either. I think Gene’s AFRAID he made the accident happen, but that’s because he’s looking back from adulthood and probably still yearning for the innocence lost that summer. His worst fear–that he damaged Finney–was exacerbated by Brinkley and Leper, and they are HARDLY the most reliable sources/witnesses.
Knowles himself refused to say if Gene did it. It only matters that Gene thought he did. But Phineas, after all, forgave him not once, but twice. While that says something good about Phineas, it also shows that he held Gene in higher regard than Gene held himself. Who’re you gonna trust? Finney, or Leper and Brinkley?
Capote? A flawed and broken angel.
Brinkley..eyeroll… That’s BRINKER.
I can see how much you love the book. HA!
Damn. Undone by my momentary lapse of memory.
I think you meant to say, “Gore Vidal.”
I was thinking that, reading this post, Timothy. Gore Vidal…
Troublemaker.
Knowles has said he partially based Brinker on Vidal. Both attended at Phillips Exeter Academy, though Vidal was two year ahead of Knowles.
Yes, and Marika thinks since there’s a real-life Brinker, poor John Knowles has a secret adolescence littered with corpses.
Or maybe Vidal does.
That seems FAR more likely.
.. and boy did Finny pay the price for that … I hate Gene! Your logic and good sense means nothing… NOTHING! Okay, so maybe i will have to reread the book…
I’ll win you over yet!
Any bixarre accidents at his school? Perhaps? maybe?
I haven’t uncovered any. Maybe you should write a story sending a sleuth back in time to get the goods on John Knowles. But don’t be surprised if you catch him daydreaming, staring out a library window as he writes ideas for his future great novel in his own Moley.
Ha!
Now you have done it I am sending you a rather lengthy e-mail… I can’t shut up … in some ways I feel that you have asked for this.
Don’t you threaten me with a good time, missy!
Even I have the Secret Language of Birthdays book It’s a must for analyzing potential suitors.LOL Do you use them to help you develop the personalities of the characters you write about?
Really Rob
Funny you should ask. I’m not sure that we ever consulted these books specifically, but all four of the TJB writers have a general knowledge of sun signs, and at least one of us has very detailed knowledge. For that reason, we usually know the birthdates of all our characters, even if those aren’t mentioned anywhere in the novels.
(Sometimes we know a birthday before we write, but often, after we’ve developed a character, we’ll say, Wow, he’s a perfect Leo!)
Astrology does help us develop a general profile for a character, but we are not married to it.
That being said? Adam Wilson is very much a Gemini. I adore Geminis. And of course, as today makes clear, Timothy J. Lambert is a Gemini.
I wonder if I am a true Cancer.
As my astrologer friend Pat reminds me, we are more than our sun signs. Have you ever had a good astrologer do your natal chart using your place and exact time of birth?
No. I think it would be really cool.
Really Rob, that’s a beautiful User Photo. What is it? I’m Mark– hey, there. : )
Oh, Mark, you should go here! Rob wants comments on the painting, and you can see it much larger if you click on it.
You got it, home-girl. : )
Well, it’s not often now that I’ve been 35 for a while, but I just experienced a first. NO ONE has ever called me home-girl before.
And I liked it.
I don’t think I could be more pleased, that it turned out to be me. Dang. : )
Thanks Mark, I’m glad to see that someone else appreciates it. The weather was finally right (bright but overcast) for me to photograph it without using artificial light. It is a painting a friend of mine did a number of years ago– acrylic on hardboard. He said it was based on a photo of me waiting for a bus. So I’ve always said it was my backside art experience. I love it because it really captured what was going on inside of me at the time. If you’re interested I posted a larger version on my 5/26 LJ entry.

Hey-hey! These look awesome. Thanks for posting these. Never heard of the Destiny one. You’re great, Becky! : )
*blush*
You’re welcome.
