Hoy amanecí de malas y quiero quejarme por aquí de un vicio que tenemos la gran mayoría de los escritores regios: sólo escribimos sobre nuestra ciudad. Nos creemos el centro del universo y no sabemos crear historias que estén fuera de nuestro mágico jardín cercado inventado por nosotros mismos y... Read more of this blog post »

Dear Students,

Here is a drawing by one of your four-year-old co-researchers who asked me to help him ‘bring darkness’ to the ‘comic’ he just made because it was night. We both worked on this task using black Flair pens over an entire play period.

He draws the speech balloons and asks me to write d...

Broken by Aleisha Maree

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is EVERYTHING! I almost threw my iPad several times. Looking at my husband like why can’t you be more like Knox.
Cried for the happy parts, screamed in anger for the sad. The descriptions and passion in this book had me swiping through instea...

Sinds kort draait de film Wonder in de bioscoop. Een aangrijpend verhaal over de jonge August, die is geboren met een afwijking en nog nooit naar school is geweest. Ik werd pas door Independent Films benaderd of ik soms drie pakketten weg wilde geven. En dat past natuurlijk PERFECT binnen deze fe...

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild arrived at a tricky time for me.

It was the launch title for the new Nintendo Switch (though it was also simultaneously released on the Switch���s predecessor console, the Wii U), and it was unquestionably a system-seller. A new entry in the Zelda series is...

The eating and drinking of blood disgusted me. The way the vampires proudly fed on the life-giving fluid of humans was one of the reasons I despised them. Zombies and Blood-eaters were essentially the same but I didn't hate their species. At least not in the same way I was sickened by the sight a... Read more of this blog post »

Este espectador no tiene muchas ocasiones de ir al cine. La tradición obliga y cada año acude a la cita con el estreno de la superproducción navideña que desde hace tres años es la nueva de Star Wars. Este 2017 es Los últimos Jedi. Así pues, se sienta en la butaca con el vello de punta ansioso d... Read more of this blog post »

 I thought it best to take a break from the end times news this week, even though there were many significant things that happened recently of great prophetic interest. However, who needs to read bad news during Christmas week?  Our focus should be on celebrating the birth of Jesus (Yes, I know... Read more of this blog post »

Release Date December 23rd!

I’ve been on a career path with my twin sister for as long as I can remember.

This was by no means, my dream but I’ve become comfortable.

At least that is what I thought until an unconventional trip has me crossing paths with a woman that is only dreamt ab...

My husband entered the room one day last week and asked me this question:

“You like camo, right?”

In my mind I’m thinking,

“Hmm. That’s weird.”

And then I realize, it’s Christmas.

“I like camo, army camo, not leafy camo. No hunting camo. That’s your thing, not mine. And no camo with pink on it. T...

I get asked this a lot when people find out I’m a writer and my answer is always the same: from life, movies, books, television, the headlines.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I love yuletide, my word of choice for this time of year. Bringing the outside in, getting together with friends and family, and sharing good food and laughter. There’s nothing quite like it.

Whatever you do this December, I want to wish you a very happy f...

I was born this way…

Born how, do you say?

Born with the innate desire to root for the villain in the story.

Born with the need to study criminal behavior, the criminal mind, abduction, and all the dark behavioral patterns that go along with it.

Born with the desire to keep the things I...

I’ve lived in the Chicago area since 1974. It’s a great place to live, but I’ve always felt it would be even better here if they put a retractable dome over the whole area so that we wouldn’t have to freeze through our long, frigid winters. Unfortunately, that’s not feasible, but the city of Chic... Read more of this blog post »

Hello,

Once again, I wanted to thank everyone for the lovely launch of Hotel Hart. It's probably the most successful one so far. The first few launches were full of one day bursts of sales followed by nothing. This is more consistent and it makes me happy. Thank you!

Student Desk with Shelf- Whether you’ve got a built-in bookshelf or you merely have a large freestanding bookshelf, it can be difficult to choose how you would like to use the space.

Этим летом полностью переколбасили центр Москвы. И во многих местах стало прям пиздато! Асфальт заменили на небанальную плитку, переделали тротуары, сделали наземные переходы вместо подземных - короче, урбанизм на благо горожан в полный рост.

Но в одном месте сразу после переделки пришли завхозы и... Read more of this blog post »

In Innsmouth, of course, they appreciate long nights:

Everyday Kindness–every day

During the Christmas season, I often wish that I’d spent the past year being a better person—kinder, more thoughtful, more actively engaged in helping. As a result, I often make a futile year-end attempt to cram 12 months’ worth of doing good into a spree...

In late 2016, I made an extraordinary decision: I would hit the writing pause button. Obviously, this was not an easy decision to reach. I made it for a number of reasons: By working simultaneously on both writing and marketing, I felt I wasn’t doing justice to either. My sales were stagnating at... Read more of this blog post »

There aren’t many problems Hollywood couldn’t solve by hiring me to fix all of their scripts. Now, as a caveat: I really enjoyed The Last Jedi. It was fun. It had three really good performances. It was often visually arresting. But it wasn’t good, and that’s because it had a lousy screenplay. So...

Listen, and understand. The Republican Party is out there. It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.
