SciFi & Fantasy Fiction and Stories by Deborah Cullins Smith

Hi Deb! *waves* How are you at the moment? I'm busy working most of the time and so much so I rarely have time for anything else but sleep. Hope everything is going well. Love you to pieces! ^_^

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "Love you right back, MRS. Thomson!!! Finally got the right size box and the overseas shipping tag this week, so you might actually RECEIVE your wedding gift this year still yet! Just seems to take me forever to get anything accomplished these days. So are you holding the wedding pictures hostage until you get your gift??? **snicker** Can't wait to see them....Hugs, deb"

I haven't even read your stories yet, but already my heart is full of your words. Yes, I know I'm corny, but I mean it. I read your comment on Anna Mortensen's stillborn baby poem about your miscarriage, and then your boyfriend, and I am so, so sorry. But you're so happy! And so optimistic and lighthearted I can't even believe it! Then again, I'm the same way. Or I try to be, anyway. Usually though it's hard to find people - especially teenagers (i'm 1 - who have an optimistic outlook on the day. And yet you, who have been through so much, it's like I can feel your positive light through the screen! It is warming my heart. Thank you - it's been a while since I've felt this inspired. I think I'm gonna go write something. Thank you so much!!

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "Why, thank you for that lovely comment! Hope you enjoy the stories posted here."

Hello again! Thought you might like to know I have a new poem up. Kind of darkly comic, a bit philosophical. Maybe you'll enjoy it?

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "Sorry, David. I'm woefully behind on my comments AND my return visits. Just a few too many irons in the fire these days. Will come over soon -- promise!"

I am enjoying your works greatly, I am a wrighter myself, in the process of wrighting a book with my beloved fiance. I have been away for a long while now, and only just read of Larry's death. He was a wonderful person, so kind hearted. I always enjoyed reading his work, and his comments to others. I shall miss him, such a spirited man he was. I love his published novels, and am sorry that no more will come. May he find peace in the afterlife. -sighs- Anyway, I shall continue to check up on your page, and look forward to more. Take care!

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "Thank you for those kind words. We are still hoping for Larry's novel... Still in the editing process, but some day perhaps it will be available. Watch this site -- I'll post something about it as soon as I have word of the completion. "

Hello friend! Might thou enjoy my latest material? {ahem} More is coming, but I have a Fay poem I'd like your opinions on, if you're interested. {hopeful smile}

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "I know.... I'm terrible, terrible! I've gotten so far behind on my Elfwood correspondence. I will come over soon, David. Bear with me!**hugs**"

Congratulations on your latest update! What do you recommend that I look at first?

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "Ouch! This comment is over a year old. Sorry, Che! It’s been a rough year around here... If you’re still interested, check out Bessie, and maybe Room 660. Those are 2 of my favorites."

Merry Christmas! Hope you’re having a lovely time with your family, while still allowing the Muse to get a word or a magical song in from time to time.

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "Oh my.... This comment is over a year old, too. Where has my time gone?? It’s been a lean year for writing. Didn’t get much accomplished. But HOPEFULLY in 2009..... Good to see you over here, David!"

Your stories are wonderful. This is merely a comment in passing, but I wanted you to know I’ve really enjoyed reading Aftermath and Worlds Away p1-2. You have extroardinary talent.

Deborah Cullins Smith replies: "Ah, a relatively new comment! Yay! Thanks for dropping in Brad. I’ll make a point of returning the visit. But obviously I’m SLOW! (since the last 2 comments were over a year old and I’m just now getting them answered...) So bear with me! Come on back any time -- now that I’m caught up on comments again, maybe it won’t take me so long to respond. Worlds Away is headed into "book" territory. (hopefully sometime this year, if I can straighten out my time.) I’m so glad you liked it! "

Haha, no worries! I’ve been veeeeery poor with keeping up with emails, stories, Elfwood, and the like. This semester has been rough, but beautiful at the same time. Hopefully the New Year will bring more good work of imagination from me as well. Cheers!

Do you SEE what happens when they update the site? All sorts of odd critters come crawling out of the deepest woods, shaken from hibernation. I hope your year is going better than last!
