"Thank you, Sage. I just read your comments to Aberjhani's fantastic review he did for "fairy!: A Cautionary Tale," I truly thank you. As far as what he wrote I am still in a state of shock. Like I told him when I emailed him, it will be tomorrow before that wonderful review really sinks home. You did me good too when you wrote yours, as did a few others. I'm getting ready to put the novel back on Myspace and Lulu, becuse I was so disgusted about how things were going I took it off. Thanks again . . . Jerry "

I love you, Jerry...you've got some good friends pulling for you and this is what this writing world is all about...to be able to connect with talented authors and also be able to be friends and maintaining these friendships...for me, it's not all about the publishing process and marketing...it is about deep respect and caring for another human being...and I so do care and deeply respect you....and you know that...take a few days and relish Aberjhani's review...you deserve every bit of it...it's so wonderful to be in your company...we'll chat again...you will sleep well tonight...everything is coming up roses, my dear man...Blessed Be...love to Dottie and Nipperdawg, too...
Love, Sage

You can bet on it, Sage, friends are nice and I thank you for belonging to my very short list of friends, the real ones I'm talking about . . .
A LOOMING DAY
A day yet to come. A day when she won't be here. Will I still crave life?
A comment and my reply Jerry left for me on my AD message board yesterday July 1, 2007
Thank you very much for you nice comments on Aberjhani's treatment of my novel "fairy!," it is appreciated . . . Jerry
It is an honor, Jerry...may we always remain friends and compliment one another at that corner booth table with a red and white checker table cloth, vase of flowers in the center, Masons of beer lined up in front of us at our country inn in that quaint little country town somewhere in the U.S....I wish you many sales on fairy and good things for all of your other novels...let's stay in touch...be well, you, Dottie and Nipperdawg...love to you all from Colorado to Louisiana, from cowgirl country to cajun country...
Warmly,
Sage
A comment I left for Jerry yesterday July 1, 2007
From The Desk Of Sage Sweetwater Firebrand Lesbian Novelist thanking you for adding me. It is an honor to be a friend always. Nice background color! You know, it reminds me of your story Shashy's Gold...the color of pigment in that painting...that particular story will stick with me for a lifetime...I am glad it is available on Amazon shorts. Take care, Jerry...let's keep in touch.
Warmly,
Sage, Author of FROM THE CONVENT TO THE RAWHIDE: THE SAGA OF SADIE CADE AND VI MONTANA, represented in Hollywood for screen adaptation. Positioned by Forbes CEO Network for FORBES BOOK CLUB.
Well over a year ago, Mr. Bolton sent me a copy of fairy! A Cautionary Tale. I read this book with a fierce intensity, wanting to get something out of it that I had not gotten from other novels of this genre...I did! I encouraged Jerry to send fairy to the Hollywood Book Festival last year. He did just that...he should have taken an award!
A powerhouse of a write, Jerry Bolton! If I may, a quote from fairy!: A Cautionary Tale---"The moral conscience of the nation is what has caused everything to happen." I plan to read this book again ten years from now. This book gives us a very real look into our future and it is there! And so is the screenplay! I wish you the best Mr. Bolton. And I wish fairy!: A Cautionary Tale to find its slot in modern-day movie-making. This book needs submitted to the Hollywood Book Festival immediately. Deadline is this month! It is a contender! Congratulations on a bold masterpiece, Jerry! Thank you for sending me a copy.
I was honored to place a professional review for Jerry Bolton on amazon.com
Jerry Bolton injects the quill deep into the human gut and pulls BLOOD! I have also read another of Mr. Bolton's literary masterpieces he sent to me, 'Mother's Revenge'. Mr. Bolton's work is highly deserving of being picked up by a traditional publisher - a big Trade New York publishing house...I wish him every success in securing a book contract with one of these heavy-hitters - very deserving of upper tier publishing...thank you, Aberjhani for this very hard-hitting synopsis of Mr. Bolton's effective work...time well spent...
Warmly,
Sage

Reviews of "My Last Conversation With Jerry Bolton Shortly Before He Passed"
This is a great tribute to Jerry Sage, and I'm sure he is delighted with it! I was really freaked out this morning until I heard from him;-)Have a happy fourth, and keep lighting up the den!;-)
Life can be freaky but throw up amazing wealth when it deals us a curved ball... I LOVED reading all this, Sage, and greatly heartened by the warm depths of loving cameraderie and support that exists in this place, the fires that burn in all our welcoming little Den corners... Jerry's "departure and return" all in one day has enabled this beautiful window on life and love to be opened... and I, for one, am grateful. I salute you both and am full of admiration for your professional and personal interconnective bonds. A great testimonial and showcase, Sage. LIVE AND LOVE ON!! :)) K xx
Don't scare me like this; if he did die, it will be a very sad time of it here at the Den; he was a master of the written word! But if he IS okay, more reason to celebrate this Fourth of July; the Den isn't the same without our Dear Jerry Bolton!
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
