Hey Sabine You really going to give away a free copy of your story. That so exciting. I admire your work and think your a fantastic writer. I am sorry I have not been active that much lately as I have been busy. Reading Cowboy Mike and of course bad boy Mike gives me a a boost when I want to forget about any problems I might have.There were many times when it lifted my mood and made by day better because I loved getting my fix of cowboy Mike. It would be wonderful to add it to my MJ Collection. Thanks for sharing your talent with us :
Also since its been a while that i have been on. I need access to read bad boy Mike
OMGosh are you serious ! Iv been a long time devoted fan of CCC. Even through the page crasheing my computer to my battery going dead in middle of paragraph...it didnt stop me from getting the chapter read. Iv never been the best at leaving comment...but Iv always tried to let you know I adore the stories and you. Im a plumber and work 10/12 hour days and some weekends....to get to come home to a new chapter just wipes all that away. I started out on this site with the Cowboy Mike stories...it was the first story that I had read that seemed so real and I could see it in my minds eye. The stories were the most calming thing I could do in my entire week . There was real life for Michael and there was real life for me....escapism was a treat to grab at anytime possible. There are a lot of ways to unwind...I choose CM as my unwinding time. I still do. The respect that is shown by you in creating these stories has made me love you as much as I love this site. Michael deserved every second of every page written....I believe with all my heart he would have even enjoyed these stories and sat back and said "If only" . What a wonderful life and partner you have given him....what a wonderful life he lives in my head. Your stories have allowed me to get to know Michael in a beautiful light. Sometimes its like this is the life he lived...it was just a secret. The life you gave him makes me smile while in the real world the stories of him make me quite sad. Im a huge advocate for Michael, I have many of his CDs, books, portraits, and collectables. This book would be a fantastic edition to all the other things I have. This would be quite prized above others....and please never stop using the gift you were given, youve changed people lives, including mine. I bow to you and am proud to call you my soul sister. Much love and peace always. CM and YOU rock !!
you know what sabine all i can say is Cowboy Mike is more than some fanfiction....the reason i love it so much is because you made it the ultimate love story, you made michael and sabah come alive, you made them perfectly flawed and love it ...thanks again for writing a beautiful love story
How can I buy it ? I wll as soon as I know ! Yay , Love your storys Love <3
Wohoo!!! Finally one of my whishes that really would make me happy comes true! I really hoped, you would do this one day...
I´m reading your story for about 1,5 years and it is honestly the best written stuff I´ve ever read in my life! This is not exaggerated. You brought Michael much nearer into my heart, than he already was before. When I think of him, most of the time I think of your story and the feelings I have when reading it. Which go through every emotion possible! I would so love to have a own copy of it in my hands. I can really say, you changed my life in a way, too. Not only Michael did. You did as well. As awkward as it may sound to other people. That is really how I feel and I am so thankful, that you started this wonderful story that is truly written with all your love.
I don´t need to be the one that get´s a free copy. I would love to pay for it and give a little bit back to you in that way.
I am so glad, that I found this page through a friend! My life would be different, if I hadn´t for sure.
And I am happy, that there is still a lot of potential to go in writing for you :)
I hope you´ll never stop, you´re so gifted and talented.
THANK YOU AGAIN AND AGAIN.
And tell us, where and when we can purchase COWBOY MIKE!
All my love to you!
Amelou ♥
Sounds wonderful I would love to have it print!!! I love to share with my friends one in particular that refused to go onto the internet! I am always telling her about the wonderful stories I read and she still won't go on the computer! To each his own I guess. It would be nice to get her a copy. She loves Mike!!
Hey Guys,
Awww big hugs and kisses to all of you :kissing:
Welllllllll, wellll, now I wish I had more copies and I could give it away to everyone!!!
Nicki! You know, I knew for sure you'd want a copy! I sure could have used a plumber today! My pipes under my tenants sink rotted out and I had to run to Home Depot to get a new one! Simple, but I hate doing that type of work.
I much rather be writing.
So just FYI for everyone who'd like a copy:
I have already spent many sleepless nights formatting it and submitting it to the be printed so that it will look decent.
The first time I submitted it, it was GET READY - 1,146 pages!!!!! And would have cost $84.00 per copy!!!!
Now I think my story is good but NOT THAT good!!!
Why was it so many pages?
Because of all the pics and the way I submitted it. Sooooooo back to the drawing board.
I went back, edited and took out ALL the pics! sorry, guys, you'll have to come back to CCC for the GIFS and PICS so you can drool over Michael's beautiful sexiness!!!!!
So I've ordered a proof copy to make sure it looks good. If it does THAT is the copy I will give away. Otherwise, I'll put up a link for you to go directly and order it yourself.
I want to thank everyone for sharing this journey with me and being so supportive.
Nicki, Amelou, Foreverinmyheart, Nancy, your words are so heartfelt and sincere -- I mean, when it comes down to it, I really wrote Cowboy Mike because I was compelled to, it was really for me, so it always tickles me pink that anyone else would like to read it!!!!
So shipping takes about 3 - 5 days they said, and I suppose within a week, if everything is okay, I'll put up the link and also announce who I'm going to give that extra special free copy too!
Maybe I'll even sign it, like I'm a celebrity!!!!
Who knows, maybe one day it will be worth a million bucks!!!!!
p.s. I intend to also convert Tame the Wild Cobra into print, as soon as I finish it, though I'm afraid now to find out how many pages it is!!!!!
Thank you, Sweeney Todd :)
I´m willing to pay anything it may cost. To me it´s worth more than many other things!!
And by the way, a friend of mine is very interested in buying a copy, too :)
Can´t wait to have it in my hand, and of course would love to get a signed one ;-)
thx :*
Aww shucks, I came back to say a few more things;
Sure am! I wish I could give away more! You're so sweet to tell me that Cowboy Mike helped you escape from the turmoil of life! Writing it did the same for me!
Valerie, what a beautiful statement:
that is the best compliment I've ever received about Cowboy Mike!!!!
Nicki!!!!!! :kissing: You're such a sweetheart!
My soul sister! I don't know girl, I'm convinced I must have known you in another life!!!!!
Amelou!!!!
I have read many books that have changed my life -- not because of anything but because the characters really spoke to me. Either they changed or grew or learned something that made me think deeper, feel deeper -- anyway, those characters and the authors have a special place in my heart! So I understand!!!!!
Boy, I wish i could give away a bunch of copies!!!!!
But guess what, people who are overseas, since the dollar is crap, the book costs less in Euros and Francs -- I don't know how to spell it, but you know what I mean!!!!
and btw, I know that is surely NOT you´re intention BUT if I look at the number of registered members here, imagine how rich you could get *lol*
what a nice sideeffect^^
and you really more than deserve it for making us all enjoy and live in that phantasy of Sabah & Mike!
sorry for spamming now, but will Bad-Boy Mike be included? Or is it going to be a tryologie or something? :)
Then I would like to make a pre-order now :D
You see how excited I am already....sorry!
love
here I go again! I have to tell you this more clearly, you really made me be a much more happier and confident and happy single-woman! I don´t know how long this process will last but since I started reading I changed.
And for me and my situation it was and still feels perfect.
I always say: I rather have a happy phantasy than a sad reality! That´s the way it works for me.
I will always be grateful for that. And now I shut up...good night, addicts and dealer :)
Sabine,
Wondering it will be available on Kindle! I am an avid reader, I too write but have not gotten the guts to share it with the world ( I guess Michael is a wonderful topic to write about!) I would like to purchase the written for a friend and the Kindle version just for me as I did for another writer of MJ fiction that I also enjoyed reading! GOD what am I going to do when I have to go back to work! I have been out on medical leave for a few weeks!! I won't be able to keep up with my addictions!! LOL Looking forward to seeing it in print!!
First of all you lovely lady (lol at SweenyTodd :P) I want to congratulate you all of your hard work. I really can't say how much I appreciate the things you've done with CowboyMike, but I don't think I've worded enough how proud you must be of yourself. The way you capture Michael is...breathtaking, girl. My main thing with Michael is to love him and to express that love I hold for him in the best way possible that I can, which in my case is through writing, blogging, etc. because that way I can defend him. There are few people in my life who have had as big of an impact on me than Michael, even with close family members and really that's just my mom. He's shown me so many things about life and about who I am and I want nothing more than to extend his legacy and preserve anything that allows for him to live on. Those things being his art, his kids, and his fans. I feel that he lives on through us and you've most definitely shown that through your writing.
I feel like I could go on and on and on, but my thoughts are in my previous comments and I probably better articulated than if I were to rewrite them here lol. I love Michael and I love you, Sabine. I would be honored to own a copy and if I could purchase one I would, but given present circumstances that probably wouldn't be possible in the immediate future...
Thank you, girl, and always always always spread his message and his love in whichever way he's able to flow through you best.
P.S. Over 500 Pages?!?!?!!!
Awwww Jasmine! So nice to hear from you again! You make me so proud. All my love to you too. It's so wonderful when you're able to connect with loving, kind and HONEST people, who reflect the qualities that I love the most about Michael! To be honest it's not OVER 500 pages, but just about at 478 or something like that. I still can't believe it, and think it must be some kind of mistake!!!!!
But Michael is great inspiration!
Nancy, I guess I'd offer it as an ebook if I had a lot of interest in that. I can convert it and create a URL for it but that's work that I don't want to just do for one person, you know!!!!
So if others are interested in purchasing it on Kindle let me know!!!! It would be much cheaper, even though for me a real book is always ten times better. You know I have my favorite books that I've bought over and over, because the cover gets messed up and I just want to HAVE it. I really do like to collect them!
Amelou!!!! Your enthusiasm is contagious!!!
I won't make BBM into a book until it's finished!!!!! That goes for Tame the Wild Cobra too, but since that's the way I see these stories, as novels, it would be a shame to NOT print them!!!!!
As for getting rich,
I think the most rewarding thing is to do what you love and then the money will come; I really believe that. So if I ever made any money doing what I love I'd feel very rich indeed!
By the way, you're soooooo right about preferring to have a happy fantasy than a sad reality.
Hi sabine I missed coming here I been so busy with school I'm graduating this year than of to veterinarian school I can't wait and my beloved dog who was my baby passed away two weeks ago from cardiac arrest and I been really down about that and stress with all the work school is tossing at me it's crazy I havnt really been able to come on ccc and hang out for awhile like I always do just quick visits here and there I'm very excited to here about you giving away a copy of cbm and that you even made it into a book for us to purchase that's awesome and I'm willing to pay for a copy I would just like to know how do I go about it or maybe I'll be lucky enough to win the raffle anyway I missed coming here and I'm of to read ttwc now thanks again Sabine for sharing your gift with us much love and peace
Okay, I understand the unfished stories should be printed until they´re done. And I hope finishing BBM doesn´t mean THE END...but I´m sure you probably could continue with something like Dangerous Mike then^^ at least I hope so :)))) We´ll see...
And of course you´re right, when you say, that people should have a happy reality! I hope that this is going to happen to everyone one day. Even though it is very though to find the right person, regarding most of the men I know, because there really isn´t nearly anyone who I can look up to or be satisfied with. But that is my problem, I know. :D
Someday it will probably happen...and in the meantime there is a lot to dream about, thanks to Michael of course, you and your imagination coupled with great talent, passion, and writing skills!
SORRY! I meant tough - not though...and "shouldn´t be printed until..." upps :S
Ditto on the sad reality vs happy fantasy, Sabine.
I love you!!!
Sabine, dear, what a great idea!! Oh boy, what a surprise!!
I dreamed so many times of having your writing in my hands in bed before going to sleep as I usually do...
I read all the comments until now and you know what? I was touched by the one left by nickiwatts (a girl plumber... wow, if I got it right), she wrote such a nice comment, I not only completly agree with her, but I think she deserve the free copy... she is so sweet...
About me... well, you know already what I think, you gave me a secret, confortable, lovely, exciting, sweet place to go when I need relaxing and escaping worries for a while and above all you gave me your friendship and I am so happy and honoured for that unexpected gift.
You gave to Michael the romantic, deep lasting love he always longed for and never found and that is a such a nice loving present I'm sure he aknoledged that somehow because deep feelings travel far and never fail to reach destination. To us, you give a little relief from the grief we hold in our hearts for him since he had to 'go' so early and before that too for the 'tries' he had to endure. We actually rejoyed, suffer and actually lived with him through the story imagining how could have been IF Sabah ever showed up in his life. I'm sure that such a strong and brave woman, capable of coping with his complicated life, exists somewhere but it was not meant for him in this life for some reason. Only God knows what he had to learn from all this but sure enough he learned a lot and is now a spirit of Light brighter than the stars.
I must thank Michael for leading me to your site and to you. I often thank him because through him I met some dear friends who became part of my life and that always seems a miracle to me... Now I'm getting emotional... because it is true, and I was with some of those new girlfriends last w.e. in Pavia to see a wonderful show (like last year) in his honour and to raise money for a hospital where they do reasearch for genetic heart probelms in kids. You should have heard the thankfulness in the doctors' voice... they really did a great job and I'm proud of them and of me doing my very little part.
I'm still always 'working' for Michael, to let people know him better because he deserves so and because I owe it to him because he helped me re-awake in me the will to be a better person (thankful and creative) and help others, that will that my father instilled in me long time ago but was kind of forgotten and hidden under a layer of disillusions.
And about CBM... well, if I don't get the free copy I'm very very happy anyway and I wil wait for the BBM or TTWC copy!!
Amelou
Amelou, I live half my life in my imagination, which is how you make your dreams come true! Look at Michael. So of course you'll find that special someone, and hopefully he will be as caring, loving and supportive of you as Michael is of Sabah and visa versa!!!!
Three cheers for healthy love!
Isabella
You're so sweet to say that Nicki deserves the free copy!!!!! Well, it will totally be by chance, who gets it. I'm going to put all the names in a bag, I think and shake it up, and pull one out!!! Or something like that
:kissing: That is so beautiful!!!!!
That's so beautiful! The world seems like a much smaller place with the internet, and so magical that you can touch the lives of strangers, I'm really in awe of that. Imagining people all around the world, pulling out a book that I've written and smiling in anticipation, that's the best gift in the world.
I don't know, maybe it's because I'm a book lover, but just having it in print makes it all the more special! I can't wait to "see" it myself!!!!
Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear about your doggy
Well, you know CCC is always here, even when life is acting crazy! So you can always pop back in and escape. I wish, like I said, I could give a whole bunch of copies away. Who knows, maybe that is something that can happen!!!! But for now let's see how the first one looks. I hope it looks really beautiful. And I really can't wait to print TTWC!!!!!
You're so welcome and thank you for giving me the beautiful gift of appreciation!!!!
Aaaah! Sabine (or is it Sweeney???) This is so exciting! There really is nothing like reading an actual
BOOK if you ask me (for one thing...books don't get HOT and burn your lap!!) and it would be so so special to have something from your hands to mine, you know? It just makes it so personal. Glad that it's not going to be $84 (not that you aren't worth itof course) but i will have to save my pennies!
I quickly read thru some of your comments and isn't it amazing how many people have been truly touched by your work? Have you ever heard that people come into our lives for a specific reason? well,i believe that and you and Cowboy Mike came into my life long ago and helped get me through some lonely times when i really needed someone to talk to and a little escapism. Things are different here now, but i will always be thankful to you for that and i will always cherish Cowboy Mike.
It is just a truly beautiful love story, made extra special by the "Sabinessence" in it
hey sabine...just noticed ...did u give me a new name
my bad! Did I call you Valerie!!!! I'm sorry honey, I fixed it
Gracie!!!!! You are tooooo sweet for words, like the best kinda candy muuuuwwwaahhh :kissing:
dear sweet sabs , this is debra, i am using my hubby's google account but i have been reading you fanfiction since 2009 i was here when there were only a few fans of the site. and we were a tight nit bunch , i remember when you used to try to get me out of the lounge with all the sexy photo's of mikey. i have read all of you novels on here, it took me a lot of months but i did get thru them all and thoroughly enjoyed the writings. they got me thru a rough time when we all were grieving horribly of mikey's death. if i do or dont recieve a copy of you treasured novel cowboy mike i just had to tell you again how much it changed my life and how much i have enjoyed this site even though i dont do much commenting since there have been a barrage of fans since i joined. i feel kind of shy to speak alot. also i wanted to give you my encouragement to keep on writing , a quiet but loyal fan. and thank you for all your hard work.
Hey Debbie!!! So nice to hear from you again, and I do remember you fondly!!! There's a great feeling when it's a small group of feeling that goes away when lots of people join, but I'm not complaining about new members!
I'd like to share the story with as much people as possible!!!! Thanks so much for telling me how Cowboy Mike has changed your life. I am so honored to have been able to make a positive difference in people's lives :kissing:
I don't know if I deserve a free copy... :) But I do want to say that you have been an inspiration for my stories. My friend introduced me to Cowboy Mike and I just fell in love with it. You have a way of making it so real that your reader feels like they are right there in your stories. Thank you for everything!!!
Hi Chrisy! What a pleasant surprise! Now I have something to look at and try to figure out what's going on with your connection.
Thank you so much for reading! Sharing the story would not be the same if there was no one who wanted to read! 
you can call me Zen ...i know foreverinmyheart is a mouth full lol
Okay Zen! I think you and Forever have a similar avatar.
Ooooo...is this one of those - how do I love thee, let me count the ways - type questions?
Hmmm, I don't even know if I want a free copy. But I'm more than happy to purchase a copy to support you dear!!! :kissing:
Now, if only we could get some kind of cinematic makings happening then all would be right with the world!
lol... yes, I know, I know, I'm only dreaming, but still - could you imagine chica!
You got folks hooked on that stuff girl. And do you remember the shear panic you almost put us through with just the 'thought' of CM not continuing. I nearly loss my mind that day... or I was atleast about to throw some serious temper tantrums.
I kid. ...a little, anyway.
But I still remember the very first chapter I read. It was Man in the Mirror, so I was a little late to the game, but doggone if I wasn't hooked!
You've done a wonderful, wonderful job at creating this beautiful world here and thank you so much for sharing it with us, dear!!!
You know what I feel like I've done, I feel like I'm the parent that runs into the house and says, KIDS!!!! I got a surprise, and they all go, what, what, what, and I say, no, you have to wait!
I haven't gotten the book yet but ooooooo, I can't wait to see it and hold it in my hands.
You're so sweet to say you'd be happy to support me! But really I'm making the book at cost so I don't get much of anything (a few pennies!) I suppose I'd make something on bulk, but I still just am tickled pink to think of a book I've written being part of someone's private library!!!!!
It's nice to think of when you first found something right! Such a magical feeling. Like, OMG, what am I reading! Is there more! OMG, there IS more!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!
Thank you for being a part of my "world" Ladake and such a great part, too!!!!!
OH MY GOSH! Sabine!
I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE a copy of Cowboy Mike, Bad Boy Mike, Prince Mike! I adore your MJ stories. I have told you this many, many times, so you must know it by now. I just love how you make the characters so real. As I've mentioned before, when I read your stories, it just seems like you were a fly on the wall in his house. I've even questioned if you are an insider.
I'm not saying this because I want to win a free copy. I'm saying this because I love your creative talent. I just want to buy the book(s)!
Oops. Sabine, you know this is PIThundermj, right? Guess I'm still having issues with yahoo sign in.
Hey Thunder!!! Well, I figured from the name it was the one and only PithunderMJ, (I remember you explained the name to me, but I can't remember right now but i remember it was fascinating.
You're so sweet! Thank you!!!!! Really, sincerely. Sometimes I can feel the sincerity coming from the screen. As soon as I get the proof and okay the copy, I will put up the link to buy it, and I hope that the book, the physical book in your hand brings you as much happiness as I know it will bring me when I finally get to hold it and feel it.
I want it...
I NEED IT! How much is it to purchase a copy?
Noo...
So here I am with ANOTHER name. BTW, I tried to login with my android tablet, but it would not accept my password. I would think if people can connect with their android cellphones, the tablet should work too. Oh well. This just means I have to sit at my pc to read instead of lying in bed.
I'm still working on the price. I want to make it as affordable as possible but guess what . . . I got it today.
Man it's BIG!!!!!
Sabine,
Don't go crazy with a Kindle version for me! I love to own books too! It is just that my children bought the kindle for me as a Mother's Day/Surgery gift! As you can see I am an avid reader!! I am always reading something!! So when it is available I will purchase a copy for myself and my friend that hates to use her computer!!!! LOL
Well good news, the book will be on sale in a few hours!!!!! I have a Kindle too, well my daughter has one, I just never got into it. I guess I like the sound of the page turning!!!
I swear, I've bought multiple copies of books because I tear off the covers and stuff, but I like to have them and look at them!!!! Like no one and I mean NO ONE can touch my Harry Potter books!!!!
PURCHASED!!!
Get out of here, for real, Ladake!!!! I'm smiling from ear to ear!!!!
wait a minute, I'm writing this in the wrong place, I should be in the gift shop!!!
Okay, oops, sorry.
Frodes, I remember you talking about what Positively Michael was doing. I heard that there is something going on with the fans tomorrow, that they'll be callling into HLN or something like that. Have you heard about that?
Hi Sabine!
I just bought my copies of Cowboy Mike and Tame the Wild Cobra!
I am so excited and happy that you have made your books into hard copy novels! I cant wait to get them because I don't always have the convienance of going online. I am severely behind on my reading (Tame the Wild Cobra) and this will give me the chance to catch up. I can't wait for Bad Boy's release either. 
I am happy to support you as a gifted writer. I wish I could get them autographed by you. I still would like to interview you for my blog but I need to get my questions together and mentally I am not there with this trial. I have not even been able to write anything for my story because I feel blocked and distressed. But I want to do this when things are settled down. I love you girl and I am so proud of you!!
Valerie aka MJ WAS A CUTIE PIE
Congrats Nicki on winning the first copy! Hi Sabine, I've been so busy caught up with watching this trial. I think I will head over to the smooth criminal room for some drinks! ahaha I can't wait to purchase my very own copy!!! I'm so excited girl you have no idea! I get to own my very first romance novel written by the talented Ms. Sabine! What a masterpiece! Bravo!
OMG, girls, how am I going to talk with this permanent smile on my face!!!!
Ladake!!!! Thank YOU!
(and for that wonderful energy you sent me when I really needed it! 
Hi Charmaine!!!!! Just to grace your bookshelves would be an honor!!!!!
Valerie, thanks for reminding me what your handle was!!!!!
Do you really want to interview me? I feel so special!!!!!!
I think the trial is doing a doozy on all of our good spirits, I can't wait for it to be over!!!!
Well, if you look up I changed the picture to what the book actually looks like. Isn't it gorgeous!!!!
I'm so tickled pink right now!
That is a beautiful cover Sabine!
Mine is shipped and I'm itching to get my hands on it.
Yay!!! You'll have to tell me what you think. But I am telling everyone there's a few typos I've found, and my perfectionist self wants to bbbbbbbbeeeeeg for forgiveness!
I swear, no matter how many times I've edited this story, I still find errors, I guess that's why you should have another person do it
Finally got around to ordering ~ I know my friend will be thrilled to finally read one of the stories I am always telling her about!
