1. yes, I will keep posting updates.

Secondly, carol, this will give you a good chuckle. on the facebook fan page for GREEN FENCES, here is what Riva wrote!!!!!

Here's the inside scoop, something juicy to get started. You'll never believe where Green Fences started off. Let's just say way far from where it ended up! There was going to be a Batya and a Ruth, but Batya and Ari were supposed to be so "on the rocks" that they skidded off and divorced. Meanwhile, Ari remarries and finds true happiness without a jealous, hen-pecking Batya in his life. And then...hold your breath: Ruth gets sick and passes away and Batya finally achieves her dream: marrying not just "a" Zev Wachtel but THE Zev Wachtel! Except that she's miserable, totally discontent, upon finally getting her fingers on the materialism she always wanted.

Can you believe it?

Mama Bear,-

Are you for real??! Then in actuality, it's Green Fences who 'went off the derech'...tsk tsk Laughing

I will have to check with my Rav about buying sucha publication. Worst case scenario - I'll read your updates. Keep 'em coming. So, I wasn't too off when I said that Shattered Glass seems to be dragged out and created on a weekly basis. Listen, if the author doesn'tknow what's going on, why should I?
Study

HAPPY READING!

Ok, guessing game of the week: Who is Dr. wurtzburger, and why did Betzalel's face turn ashen from the message?
(I just do this for fun to see how wrong I am the next week)
My guess is some sort of psychologist..but not sure why he would have called him..
anyone have a better guess?

Green Fences has a Facebook fan page? Wow am I glad my filters don't let me do Facebook Very Happy

Not sure why I'm following this. I don't get Mishpacha and will have to wait till it comes out in book form. I just finished reading Rosewood Ct. so I'll have to check the archives here for any discussion...

My question is, why is Betzalel always blanching, startling, staggering or turning ashen? He seems to be a very unstable guy. What would make YOUR face turn ashen? Personally, I can't think of anyone who would turn my face ashen, unless maybe the mafia was after me.[/quote] Laughing

Maybe my face would turn ashen if this week's Mishpacha announces that they've stopped the story. I am becoming somewhat attached to the characters, even if they're quite the Drama Team. I can't walk away before I hear about the mysterious doctor, the support group, and of course the detailed something that Betzalel has done.....

Thanks chavamom to the very apt comparison w/ the Daniella Steele page-thrillers. You're right about them being completely unrealistic, and that every one of her 100s of books share the one fell-out-of-love-fell into-love-storyline; however, the guesswork of Shattered Glass is incomparable....
