Won’t you step into my parlor?
All my guests sit here.
Never fear–
It doesn’t matter if you wipe your feet.
A more engaging hostess you’ll never meet.
Do you prefer cream or sugar?
No honey I fear–
No bees here.
I have other amusements sweeter by far,
Better than anything found in a jar.
What do you mean you’ll be going?
Sit down, I insist–
Don’t resist.
The pain will last but a minute or two...

| Saturnius Mons is an epic sort of tale, for all that it’s a sci-fi rather than a fantasy. The world-building is considerable, with great attention to detail. Waves roll onto beaches filled with marble-sized pebbles, and the main characters find ...more | |

“If you really want perspective,
you have to step outside and back away.
If you spend all your time trying to stay in the picture,
you might forget that you're only a small part of that picture.
Step out and study the other parts of the whole.
If the piece that is you doesn't fit, find a new picture to be a part of.”

Thanks for being my friend on Goodreads. Your blog on the overuse of certain words was right on. Even after many revisions, some great crits by my beta readers, copy editing and proofreading, I still found a repeated word that could have been changed. --Veronica "Vernie" Dale: Blood Seed and Night Cruiser: Short Stories about Creepy, Amusing or Spiritual Encounters with the Shadow
