Here's a new one...

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

... I'm under the limit. But I just couldn't pad it, so ...



About the Author: Kathleen Fraser-Kowalski is a wilderness guide and teacher in her home town of Inuvik, NT. She is not married, since no-one as yet has wanted to take on her family of fourteen dogs. Her greatest influences, she says, were her parents, RCMP Sergeant Benton Fraser (ret.) and Ray Kowalski; who taught her that anything is possible with perseverance, and that clean sparkplugs are happy sparkplugs. Never Follow a Man Off a Cliff is her first novel.

Thanks, Jodie -- glad I'm not the only one!

LOL! Oh, my! Such fun, and hell, yes, I'd love to read her first novel. ::snigger:: Fourteen dogs... ::hoot:: Clean sparkplugs... ::chuckle::

Thank you kindly, ma'am. Glad I made you hoot.

About the Author indeed

[daughtershade.livejournal.com]

Wow! What a great idea. And even if there wasn't the inclusion of Fraser and Ray, you could still see a bit of their influence on Kathleen. Neat!

Oh, and being the daughter of a mechanic, I have to agree that clean sparkplugs are happy sparkplugs. In fact, that's a pretty good metaphor for life, really.

Thanks! I'm pretty sure Ray would have felt that was a very important lesson indeed...

hooray!

[kormantic.livejournal.com]

a whole little world is in that blurb. You're a clever and groovy child!

Re: hooray!

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you. Especially for the 'child' part...*G*

[ozsaur.livejournal.com]

I wonder how she came up with the title of her first novel? Probably from listening to Ray talk of his adventures with Fraser. This needs no padding at. Love it!

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Oz. The title actually comes from a remark Fraser makes to RayV in the pilot ep -- good advice he got from his father. I figured at one point he'd have told Kathleen the story too...

[askye.livejournal.com]

This is great! short and sweet and I have my own little backstory for Fraser-Kowalski family percolating in my head.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you liked it.

[umbo.livejournal.com]

It was short, but it was great--I loved it!

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'm so glad...

[maubast.livejournal.com]

This is great! I laughed.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Bast! My work here is done. *g*

I am so impressed by all the creative ways people are answering this challenge. This was wonderful, short but perfect, saying so much in just a few words. I love the title of her book, I think I'd love to read it!

Happy Belated Birthday!

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

And ... thank you! *g*

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

He might've, but it came from a remark Fraser made (in the pilot) about advice his father gave him....

You must admit it's mighty good advice!

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

Hee. Adorable, m'dear...and I join the legions of fans who want to read that novel (I wonder if Kathleen's had some visitations from Grandpa Fraser *g*).

And? I already sang the Happy Birthday song to you. Any else will have to wait. :)

Smooch.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

I already talked to you, but ... Yay! Beth gets the prize!!

Smooch back.

[mei-x.livejournal.com]

I'm another one who's impressed at the innovative ways people are answering this challenge. You've said a lot in a small space.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Mei. Love the icon ... those vacant stares...

(Why, Lucky, why...)

[bluster.livejournal.com]

LOL!! This is priceless.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks, Betty!

[helvirago]

This is brilliant. I'm jealous.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'm flattered.

[amadyce.livejournal.com]

Great idea. Yes, lots of great ideas for this challenge.

Thanks so much!

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Divine. No need to pad, it said it all.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much, Shay darlin'.

[akite.livejournal.com]

Wonderful, Starfish.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

::blushes::

Thanks.

[ardent-muses.livejournal.com]

Oh, this was great! It cracked me up. Now I want to read her whole life story. :) I don't supposed you want to add that to your list?

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

NO! NO! Get thee behind me, thou foul temptress!!

Ahem. Thanks, but no thanks. Feel free to tackle the project yourself, though...*G*

Smooch!

[rowanfairchild.livejournal.com]

Boy, talk about saying a lot in a little space. Too cool. And I like that it's a novel. :-)

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Her next book'll probably be all about Grandpa Bob...

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

AGGGGGHHH!!! I love this!! I love this SO MUCH!!!!!

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

Wow! Thanks!
