Condemned: An Overview of Execution Methods Throughout History by Darcia Helle

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I wasn't going to read this book because the idea of reading about execution methods seemed just a bit too dark (even for me... a dark fiction writer!). I did download a copy onto my Kindle, howe... Read more of this blog post »

You know I like taking risks in writing and pushing emotional boundaries. I couldn't be more proud than I am of this book. No spoilers, but "Thrill of Love" goes where romance rarely does. It will leave you breathless. Don't miss it💕 ~ Melissa

FORGET ABOUT ME

Forget about me,
I am like a shadow,
I am a clean illusion,
And a spiritual confusion.

Forget about me,
I am like a foam
Forgotten by a wave,
Fallen onto the coast.

Forget about me,
I am like a bird
Flying to the sky,
And for that flight I need you.

When I was first inspired to write the Origins Series it was a fluke. The entire idea sprang to life from a picture of it's own unusual origins...

I saw a handsome man who had dark eyes wearing a broad black hat, cape and nothing else. It was an artistic statement, I am sure, but it felt dark and... Read more of this blog post »

I had to read over 300 pages this weekend. . . for school. I don't mean to complain, the truth is I am having a blast with my program, and I enjoy being challenged because I'm actually learning from it, but it sucks having free time at the end of the day when you're already exhausted and you have...

We all do. The first thing you look at is the cover. Have you ever bought a book just because you like the cover? I sure have and I’ve put the book back because I didn’t like the cover. Guilty as charged!

So since covers matter and I sincerely think they do, what kind of cover on a book do you lik... Read more of this blog post »

My review (here and on Amazon): While I liked some of these stories better than others, this collection starts off with a page-turner, and continues to be engaging. These stories just go to show that you don't know what is going on in someone's head - even if you think you do - and that everyday... Read more of this blog post »

“Quick masterfully skewers bias from both the left and the right with humor and grace ….

Hey, loves! 

If the blog/website looks a little different, that's because it is. I decided a change was in order, and I wanted a clean look with a black and white theme. So, that's what I worked on for three days straight, and I quite like the changes. 

Now, onto the good stuff.

Got an e-mail last night from someone asking me to fill in for a teacher who felt he/she needed some support. I remembered how relieved I had been when I gave up teaching in the weekend school. I guess those feelings are common, and not just an indication of my shortcomings as a teacher.

I was rea... Read more of this blog post »

Over the years, critics have claimed that the Dash Masternode network is susceptible to centralization. Initially, the charge was that only a few early adopters own Masternodes, and so they control the network. This argument has begun to fade as it’s become clear that Masternode owners are a dive...

When the ideas come, I don’t evaluate them, overthink them, or put them aside. No, I get my ass in gear and capture them as soon as I can, before they fade back into the mist.

My body knows fall is coming

my eyes can see the difference in the sunlight

and my soul longs for the smell of burning leaves

and long nights sitting on a porch

with an Irish Coffee

Blue jeans, sweatshirts, and book in my hand
