Join in the fun!
One of my friends has decided to join me in writing a short story every month, and she is using the prompts I am creating. Read her January story here on her blog: http://jenniferclarkwriter.blogspot.com/2015/02/january-prompt.html. I find it intriguing how different our stories are from the same prompt. Want to join in the fun? Join us… Continue reading

February’s Prompt
My January story is posted. You might be wondering what prompted the story that emerged. I honestly don’t know. I didn’t write from an outline like I have in the past. Instead, what I did is every time I sat down to work on it, I just wrote what came to mind. The process ended… Continue reading

Photo in the Hall
“Please tell me that is a disguise,” I said to my twin, Everett, as he walked into our office. He had the most ridiculous mustache I’ve ever seen. Which answered my question about what he did while I was on a three-month tour of South America. After our last case, I took a vacation. It… Continue reading

2014 is Over!
I haven’t posted since March…. And I haven’t written creatively for a long while now. Life has been very busy this year. What have I been up to? I moved! All the way from Hawaii to Pennsylvania. It was a long process, and to be honest, I still feel like we’re settling in at our… Continue reading

I admit that I have seen most of the movies before I read the books, and recently, I watched the first season of the show Hannibal. The reason I decided to read these is that I was wondering why Hannibal is… Continue reading

The Bone People by Keri Hulme
Booker Prize Winner in 1985 I have mixed feelings about this book but I will get into that in a second. I also have to confess that because I hadn’t heard of the book before my sister gave it to me, I looked it up and read some short reviews on goodreads.com. I found the… Continue reading

I’ve Not Been a Writin’
ACK! It has been almost three months since I’ve posted on my blog… but what’s worse is that in that time I have not even looked at my novel. I can only blame myself of course. I could provide excuses but I won’t. Instead, it’s time to buckle down and get with it. A new… Continue reading

Review of Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper
1st book of The Dark is Rising Series I have wanted to read this series ever since I saw the movie The Seeker. I thought the movie was okay, but I could tell while I was watching it that there was a lot of something left out. The script of the movie seemed very incomplete… Continue reading
