he he yes! Because we have similar taste :) BUT what about Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, Bleak House by Charles Dickens, Oranges are not the only fruit by jeanette Winterson, any book by Terry Pratchett?

Hi Dixie and all thriller/crime book junkies, just finished reading good one : COPYCAT by Erica Spindler. american cop serial killer thing with SL twist :) P.S. AquaBlue, all books on your list are among my favourites - except The Fountainhead, I HATED it!!! A LOT!!!

sorry, you right! Get it now, thanks. Other remarks still apply, though!

WOW! Good for you! I am also studying Linguistics and the department won't accept Sign as my alternate language of choice - Yet!

Good point. We also have situation here that Sign is seen as inferior because it is not spoken - left over influence of Dutch/British who, historically, disapproved of Sign. Unlike ex-Belgian/French colonies where Sign was "tolerated", if not universally accepted. There is a possibility that...

I was in my early 30s when I lost my mom and my dad, both gone within 3 months. I was only child. I thought I was going to die from grief. This year is 6th anniversary of my mother's and my father's death. After the worst thing you can imagine really happens, you get a different kind of...

Just got home from my SASL class (South African Sign Language), in our lesson we were having a debate about Sign/ English (or other language, remember we have 11 official languages here and each group is fighting for education in their mother tongue)/TC - which I think is the equivilent of your...

Cut her some slack here, she's what, 18 years old? 19 at most? How many authors do you think wrote their best work 1st time they tried? My opinion : yes it may be juvenile, but it is also direct and honest. I don't find the grammar problematic, I find it colloquial. I hope she keeps...

Hey Alex, great post and really really touching. But you know what, you make serious mistake when you think life all roses and honey for hearing. It may look like that to you but I swear life in high school can be just so shit for hearing if we don't fit into "accepted" group. I did not go...

Sometimes Deaf ask hearing if your words reach us and make us understand. Well now hearing is writing to you because since I read your work I haven't stopped crying. I have had similar loss, but you express it so well, now it is okay to feel pain.

Palindromes : A MAN,A PLAN, A CANAL - PANAMA! Fingerspell THAT 5x fast for finger cramps :)

Good story. Agree with comments re. beginning, could have drawn it out for dramatic tension but can SO sympathise with space constraints! (I am part of a flash fiction workshop, defined as a story which can be read in 15 minutes or less...) BUT: I didn't think you needed last paragraph, your...

Character will still have "trigger" for feelings, e.g.does excercises and pulse rate goes up, assumes he/she is dying of heart attack 'cos parent did at young age, also have in common compulsive behaviour when stressed like pull out hair, hide under desk/table/in closet, hperventilates etc...

Hi there I'm hearing and English speaking, my husband is Belgian and Flemish speaking, my step-sons are Afrikaans speaking and our friends are Deaf and sign SASL....we all make a plan to communicate! But sometimes the "cultural differences" between me and my husband are bigger than those...
