"Thought I'd comment on two books that I read recently and absolutely loved. Lauren Groff's recent novel Arcadia kinda broke my heart. The main character Bit is a rare creature - an empathic male who doesn't run from crisis, but is the…"

Roland Goodbody commented on Barry Lane's group What are you Reading?"Yes, I've read it, Miles. I really didn't like it at first - I think I didn't like the main character - but by the time I got to the end, I thought it was a terrific novel.
I've also read the third in the trilogy - The Lay…"
Roland Goodbody commented on Barry Lane's group What are you Reading?"Hey Miles -
Poetry often makes me buy another round, too.
Seriously, though, I've got a copy of Birthday Letters at my mum's in Rowlands Castle and always dip into it when I'm back home. It was quite a find at a charity shop a few…"
Patricia Garrard replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Mystery Tour in the group Writer's Workshop"I was moved with memories of my own grandmothers so your writing was obviously powerful. I felt I was with you and loved the lesson at the end!"

Dig the Groove
This group is easy peasy. Let's talk music. Share your favorite bands, songs, performances, and how you use music in the classroom.
Amber White replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Mystery Tour in the group Author's Circle"Roland,
I felt like I was traveling along with you! You have a gift for injecting humor in the right places- the only young person on a coach full of wrinkliesbloody , etc) put me in this moment with you. What a moving tribute. You are a writer!!!"
Barry Lane replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Mystery Tour in the group Author's Circle"Mystery Tour (pasted in)
MYSTERY TOUR
Back in the summer of 1987, my grandmother asked me if I'd go on an excursion with her.
I love that word "excursion," don’t you? It’s not a word you often hear these days, is it?…"
Roland Goodbody replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Mystery Tour in the group Author's Circle"Joan,
Thanks so much for your response. I'm very glad you liked the story. I am a pretty tentative and bashful writer myself, despite receiving lots of encouragement from friends whenever I do write something and share it in public. In fact, I…"
Joan Carnosso replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Mystery Tour in the group Author's Circle"Roland,
I absolutely loved this story. I could actually hear the accent as I read. I am very sensitive about stories that contain the elderly. I don't think we take nearly as good of care of them as we should. And I so hope before my own father…"

Mystery Tour
Here's a short version of a piece I wrote years ago about an outing I took with my grandmother over twenty years ago. I performed it last October at the Portsmouth (NH) Literary Festival in this version.
Barry Lane replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Giving The Game Away in the group Author's Circle"Roland,
Post the Magical Mystery tour play!"
Bruce Ballenger replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Giving The Game Away in the group Author's Circle"Sounds like a wonderful book, Roland. I how you're doing well.
B"
Barry Lane replied to Roland Goodbody's discussion Giving The Game Away in the group Author's Circle"Roland,
I just read your play again. It is a really powerful and complex play. In some ways it is about a man who uses this fantasy football league to keep alive his creative childlike imagination, on the other hand it is about this pathetic lonely…"

- Easy. Go to the group and click start discussion. There will be a place to write a blurb about your play but under the box you will see an attach file button. Click choose file and locate your play on the computer. Put it on the desktop beforehand if you are not an expert filer. Click on the file and it should upload . Word docs should work and PDF are even better. You can print a word doc to a pdf to convert, but word docs should work.
