... I would be a turtle. Typically, my writing process is quick. To the point. Almost exhausting. There are times when an idea has to fester in my head until I reach that AHA!!! moment, like a mad scientist, but I'm a mad writer... mad to live, mad to write, and mad for everything in between. I quit drinking coffee and I also quit smoking cigarettes, and now I'm wondering if I've demolished my... read more »

Description: Meet Kesey Maverick. First name Kesey: in Swahili, meaning born in time of great trouble for father. Last name Maverick: a lost calf, separated from its mother. After graduating from a prestigious college and failing to find work as a poet, Kesey takes up work as a bank teller with a large financial corporation in Pittsburgh. With a name that would cause Freud to pause for thought, Kesey develops theories regarding the flaws and failures of the bank, narrating the reader through one hellacious workweek. Starting with Monday brownies and ending with a baffling button, Kesey and her colleagues are in for more than they could ever imagine.
The Nine Lives of Clemenza (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated Jun 20, 2009 09:01am
Description: If you were able to choose what form of life you would live, what would you be? The Nine Lives of Clemenza explores the realms of spirituality and reincarnation. It introduces the possibility that as complex souls, we choose our lives, thus giving us the ultimate capability of free will. Clemenza starts out as a new soul in heaven, contemplating what form of life she will take to begin her journey. God grants each new soul nine lives, provided they bring back a moral lesson learned. Clemenza is diverse in her choices, exploring every facet of existence from air to the northern lights to a human being. Roles are reversed and souls intertwine during Clemenza's many lives, as she learns the meaning and importance of pain, grief, loss, love and passion.
