What happens
when the chatty, friendly, very interactive singles website you belong to finds out you’ve been writing a book about a chatty friendly very interactive singles website?Actually, I have no idea. Clarissa - wait for it, wait for it - Rodgers-Briskleigh is about to find out.
How about that name?
I asked, oh a while back now, for a name that would conjure up a bit of fun, some naughtiness, and that was an almost immediate suggestion from a a very well-known blogger with a very dry sense of humour. I asked if I could credit him and he was, well, evasive. You can guess anyway, right?

You DIDN’T. No-one is based on a real person. There are many Dorothy types, who have always left everything to their husband and now, oops, he’s taken off.
OH so many Simons. Separated, but still keeping the home links open ...
Lots of bloggers fit the Tim-the-player profile, but if any of you own a yacht, you've kept very quiet about it. (But hey. Message me.
If Rick, the Insider, who talks to everyone but never meets up sounds familiar, so he should. Every character is deliberately based on a fairly common single type.
Not every type is included, that would have been impossible, but there are nearly a dozen in all.
If I am, or if none of you ever speak to me again, or any number of other horrible things happen, love you still. Always will. CS has been the best fun and I hope very much will continue to be.
must admit tho, it comes as no surprise to me atall..and sure maybe you're not the only one
I was feeling a wee bit lonely here, Ms Witch. Thanks for commenting.
I'm sure it is a wonderful read, one i'd be very interested in reading, abit of craic even trying to figure who is who between the lines
I wish you much success with it
Who is Clarissa?
Permanent Assurance Company "
(sorry crazy only joking)
heck but i couldn't resist that one
And - um - no witches. Despite the Wizard of Oz theme. PROMISE!!!
Crazy, if I tried to write a history of CS stories, it would be longer than the Encyclopedia Brittanica!
When you do come back, though, there's a book out there that's not about CS, and has scarecrows and tin men and lions who aren't.
Hope that's cleared it up.
Hope tho this does not mean you shall now be leaving the site?
I can take that
You have to write in volumes...Volume 1, Vol 2, Vol 3
Cross my heart.
I'm guessing the author of the author name is agent Orange?
It's going to be very thick book so you have to divide them...volume sounds like encyclopedia and will encourage your readers to get all volumes
The History Of CS would be 36 volumes at least. I think you would have one to yourself ...
Who the heck came up with that name?
But you never know when people are going to get sensitive around here
I deny this categorically (as every good politician does), then again, perhaps I kind of like the idea of being a briskly rodger!
