Bridges to Burn (Book) - 2/18/2006 2:26:18 PM
Looks like a good read. Makes you want to find out if Jim Craft will turn out to be a crok, after all.
Bridges to Burn (Book) - 2/18/2006 12:42:27 PM
<i> Review from Reader: </i> BRIDGES TO BURN – The final of Jo Janoski’s Trilogy of the folks and neighborhoods of her hometown, Pittsburgh. As with her first two books, TEA AND CHOCOLATES and FAITHFUL (if you haven't read these, hey, watcha waiting for?), Jo writes of the characteristics of people – good and bad. In this latest book you will find intrigue, “snoops”, friendships, deceit, terrorist plots, and the importance of learning to trust and love again. ‘Nuff said. You betcha, I liked it!
This may be the last of Jo’s Trilogy, but surely not the last of her imaginative and explosive writings.
Tea and Chocolates (Book) - 10/23/2004 7:33:09 PM
Jo Janoski has woven a puissant tale around the lives of two very different women. Writer Janoski is a poet, photographer and now a writer of compelling novels. <b>Tea and Chocolates </b> is an absorbing tale featuring a well written and interesting premise. Reader attention is caught from the opening lines as we meet Emily preparing for school. Energy moves the narrative along.

Sounds like an interesting story. Congrats, my friend!
Tea and Chocolates (Book) - 6/25/2004 2:45:15 PM
JO! I am soooo proud of you! AND FOR YOU! I was fortunate to have read a few more chapters at one time, and can highly recommend your book for a wonderful read; great insight into the lives of young ones in early 1900's, growing into maturity. OK...I'M BUYING ;o)
The 60's (Short Story) - 12/2/2006 8:36:21 AM
The 60s certainly had its many mountains and valleys; well written, Jo, with many memories of those years (me, mostly in my 30s). Lots of history written in that decade.

Good story, Jo...and 'take' on the picture. Isn't it fascinating how people will look at a picture and find a different meaning to it?
This was a fun assignment for the Workshop!

This could be the beginning of a good novel
Captive Rose (Short Story) - 3/30/2005 3:15:19 PM
Captivating, indeed, Jo! Can't help but feel Elisabeth will soon be flying on the wind.

The Bashful Swan (Short Story) - 6/20/2004 3:10:03 PM
Very nice story. I like your ending and the lesson it teaches. I'd make two changes though; the name Winnie conjures up thoughts of Winnie the Pooh. I'd change it. Second, by making Winnie a swan and giving her self-esteem issues, you risk comparisons to Hans Christian Anderson's "Ugly Duckling" story. I'd concentrate on the problem of shyness, not poor self image, and make Winne another kind of creature. Best wishes with this project.
The Bashful Swan (Short Story) - 6/19/2004 8:56:10 AM

We have to sacrifice a lot to raise children, but they
are worth it.
Come back Jo

Children (Poetry) - 2/17/2007 9:25:21 AM
Children are indeed a reminder that things could be a lot better if we stayed more like them. Thank you, Jo. Love and peace,

Loved the poem. I can relate as I become a child again when my grandson comes visiting. Victor

Interesting, but pi is an irrational number, doesn't have a terminating fraction...
Rainy Day Blues (Poetry) - 1/24/2007 11:59:17 AM

very bluesy

Stormy Seas (Poetry) - 1/2/2007 12:13:51 PM
How the "Seas" do come into both our poetry this New Year, Jo. A very good acrostic poem, that stirs our imaginations of the "Reeling, rolling, roaring feat."
Happy New Year to you and hubby!
Micke
Stormy Seas (Poetry) - 1/2/2007 12:06:31 PM

I like this! A beautiful version of the 'family tree' (didn't want to call it a family bush :o)
Now...where's the Chocolates to go with the Tea?
Micke
Family Tea Party (Poetry) - 12/26/2006 2:00:21 PM
Quite a contrast of a family being petals on roses and still provoke something cacaphonous. Outstanding septet Jo. Victor
