I can remember living briefly in an apartment (in NY) that overlooked the Palisades. I travelled the length of the state going to Washington and had a memorable holiday in Atlantic City. Like you before the gambling. It was a super hotel, really posh on the seafront. Very underrated State I think. <br />margaret blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994723897446758457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-86925169434872715542013-10-27T16:51:09.178-05:002013-10-27T16:51:09.178-05:00Hi, Alan,

My latest co-authored novel is THE THIRD EYE: A PINE BARRENS MYSTERY. It includes the Jersey Devil right on time for Halloween.<br /><br />Best wishes for the success of your new book!Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-21397014378230527052013-10-27T14:05:53.320-05:002013-10-27T14:05:53.320-05:00You make the state I had to live in for 37 years s...You make the state I had to live in for 37 years sound so lovely. I guess it was the New Yorker in me that rejected anything nice about NJ, although I must say Cape May and the Delaware Water Gap are beautiful. I remember Atlantic City before casinos, with the glorious snowball bushes and Victorian houses. I worked for NJ State Government, so I guess that skewed my view. I raised my kids around Exit 8 (you know what I mean) and my daughter still lives near Princeton, & loves it. Thanks for the memories of the nicer side of the Garden State. Good luck with your books.

It's amazing such a small, northern area is "The Garden State." Alan Moss's writing style is smooth and detailed, and his books sound intriguing.

That, in itself, was fascinating but I'm sure I could find a lot more interesting things to see and do if I took the time to come back.Karen Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13732638672537005826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4493137999097550682.post-25037033997561764502013-10-27T11:06:51.800-05:002013-10-27T11:06:51.800-05:00What amazes me is that New Jersey has seldom cross...What amazes me is that New Jersey has seldom crossed my mind to visit - and how reading a brief simple description can trigger an interest. This has been very enlightening. Also, being an island dweller in Hawaii, the story line for Island of Betrayal intrigues me. I'll be able to read a plot that takes place in New Jersey and the South Pacific! Mary Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097790821159195213noreply@blogger.com
