Peirs Anthony has a good book called Ogre, Ogre if you don't mind Ogre bashing.

Early life

Anthony's family immigrated to the United States from Britain when he was six. He graduated from Goddard College in Vermont in 1956.[2] He became a naturalized U.S. citizen while serving in the United States Army in 1958.[3] After completing a two year stint in military service, he briefly taught school at Admiral Farragut Academy in St. Petersburg, Florida before becoming a fulltime writer.[4]
[edit]Marriage and early career

Piers Anthony met his future wife, Carol Marble, while both were attending college. They were married in 1956, the same year he graduated from Goddard College, Plainfield, Vermont. After a series of odd jobs Piers Anthony decided to join the U.S. Army in 1957 for a steady source of income and medical coverage for his pregnant wife. He would stay in the Army until 1959; he became a U.S. citizen during this time. While in the army, he became an editor and cartoonist for the battalion newspaper. After leaving the army, he spent a brief stint as a public school teacher before trying his hand at becoming a full-time writer.[citation needed]
Anthony and his wife made a deal—if he could sell a piece of writing within one year, she would continue to work to support him. But if he could not sell anything in that year, then he would forever give up his dream of being a writer. At the end of the year, he managed to get a short story published. He credits his wife as the person who made his writing career possible, and he advises aspiring writers that they need to have a source of income other than their writing in order to get through the early years of a writing career.[citation needed]
[edit]Writing

On multiple occasions Anthony has moved from one publisher to another (taking a profitable hit series with him), when he says he felt the editors were unduly tampering with his work. He has sued publishers for accounting malfeasance and won judgments in his favor.[citation needed] Anthony maintains an Internet Publishers Survey in the interest of helping aspiring writers.[5] For this service, he won the 2003 "Friend of EPIC" award for service to the electronic publishing community.[citation needed] His website won the Special Recognition for Service to Writers award from Preditors and Editors, an author's guide to publishers and writing services.[6]
Anthony invested as an angel investor in Xlibris at one point,[7] and is now a co-owner along with Random House.[citation needed]
Many of his popular novel series have been optioned for movies.[citation needed] His popular series Xanth inspired a video game, Companions of Xanth, by Legend Entertainment for DOS. The series also spawned a board game called Xanth by Mayfair Games.
Anthony's novels usually end with a chapter-long Author's Note, in which he talks about himself, his life, and his experiences as they related to the process of writing the novel. He often discusses correspondence with readers and any real-world issues that influenced the novel. His writings are most similar to novelists such as Steven Brust, Alan Dean Foster and Craig Shaw Gardner.

I dont get it this pertains to me how ? I am confused .And as for the folks posting emoticons and fake pics as profile pics ? Isnt that against the rules of this site ?


And yes I asked for feed back and I gave you mine as well .Thats called a response and freedom of speech .If you dont like it move to another country thank you .

Ok sounds good thanks .So if I may ask I see many posting emoticons as profile pics or pics of things other then themselves is that ok then ?

And actually labor related isnt misleading .When I do work its labor related get it ?

Than you for your input .

Yes, people are allowed to use pictures that are not of them on their profile.

Ok wow cool thanks ! Not sure why anyone would want to but whatever .

Try asking them. Only they would be able to tell you why they chose to use pictures that were not of themselves.
