Don’t Forget!

I really wish this country would STOP wasting their money on this! Nazi Germany started this. Why? Who knows! But it costs millions!

Rosie’s Review-A-Book Challenge #RRABC How To Write A Simple Book Review. #MondayBlogs

In my opinion, a book review for a place like Amazon can be as simple as 2-3 sentences. You shouldn’t have to worry over writing it or trying to sounds sophisticated, but if you need to write something more complex for whatever reason, this is a good guide.

The Week’s Best Cartoons 10/24

Cartoons are always a great way to make a long story short!


Filosofa's Word


I thought it was time to lighten it up a bit, and while the political cartoons these days often aren’t exactly funny, they are brilliant in the way they can sum up a situation with few or no words.  How I wish I had artistic talent!  So, instead of the post I had planned for this afternoon, I am sharing instead TokyoSand’s weekly collection featuring the ‘best of the best’ cartoons from the past week.  Thank you, TS, for...

Look for the Crack

So amazing, this life …


Mitch Teemley


Hope is the Lens



“Listen to the mustn’ts, child. Listen to the don’ts. Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me… Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.” ~Shel Silverstein



“Hold fast to dreams,

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird,

That cannot fly.”
~Langston Hughes



“Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul

And sings the tune without the words

And never stops at all.”
~Emily Dic...

Here Is My Radio Interview by a huge fan of New Orleans. #CIINO #CrimesAndImpunityInNewOrleans #NewOrleans

I was nervous about my first interview about my new novel “Crimes & Impunity in New Orleans” but I have never felt so comfortable talking to someone! Plus, there’s nothing more fun than talking about the roller coaster ride that is New Orleans!





Drew Schlosberg has been to New Orleans 32 times, though he started going in the 90s, not the 80s when my novel takes place.

The Mistake

You READ – but do you leave REVIEWS? – by Chris Graham (aka The Story Reading Ape)

Yes, Chris is right! We actually need your reviews more than we need you to buy the book!
