Franki deMerle: Music composer in Portland, Oregon.

I'm working on my 3rd novel, Five Flowers. My first 2, Dragonfly Dreams and Deception Past, were published by iUniverse. They keep telling me to pay them to market the books to Hollywood, but I don't have that kind of money. I tell reincarnation stories. If anyone is interested or knows anyone who is. Thanks for including me in Stage 32.

Hey Franki, I'm excited to announce our new Stage 32 Lounge, a major upgrade to the previous Discussions area. Here are some of the highlights:

• Subscriptions - Subscribe to your favorite topics and stay up to date on the subjects that matter to you most.
• My Discussions - Never lose track of discussions you created or commented on.
• Better topics - We've completely reorganized the discussion topics to make it much easier to browse and post discussions.

Hey Franki, a few days ago we implemented a new privacy setting to give you the option of accepting private messages only from users within your network. Today, I discovered a bug with the way this option is set for new users. I just wanted to let you know that the bug is now fixed, so all members are now able to receive private messages from any other member (the default setting). If you'd like to receive private messages only from users within your network, you can change this setting here. Also, you can access your privacy settings at any time from the drop-down menu that appears when you hover over your profile photo in the upper right-hand corner of the page.

I write poetry and novels. I'm a featured author of the Independent Author Network. Deception Past and Dragonfly Dreams are both available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, www.reincarnationbooks.com & www.j.mp/elTVij My novels are reincarnation stories. I'm currently polishing up Five Flowers for publication and have begun writing Noted. For more information, please see reincarnationbooks.com or contact me on Twitter (no DMs please), Facebook, or through reincarnationbooks.com
