Blog Hop - Writing Process
Aaron Lazar, that silver-tongued devil, talked me

I love his books. You can find them at www.lazarbooks.com.
His latest two are

Images for Inspiration
Do you keep pictures of people, places, or things you use in your book? I do. Sometimes the picture comes first and inspires a part of the story. Sometimes the story comes first, as it did here.
This charming cottage belongs to Sandy Foster, who took this photograph. She turned an old fishing cottage into her studio. It’s such an interesting spot that Trevor Tondro did a feature on it

My Writing Process
Aaron Paul Lazar, one of my favorite
writers, tagged me for a Writing Process Blog Tour. If you haven’t tried his
books, you’re missing something special. Aaron writes mysteries and more. One series features Gus
LeGarde, a music professor, family man, gardener, and cook—a man you’ll want to
know. Don’t Let the Wind Catch You,
Tremolo: Cry of the Loon,
and Double Forté are among his many
books.

Amazing Ice Age Artists, revisited
I recently came across this picture of the Lions of the Chauvet Cave
in France, one of many spectacular panels of drawings, or paintings,
discovered there. The paintings there are the oldest known, carbon-dated
to approximately 33,000 years ago, almost twice the age of the Lascaux
cave paintings. The forms and movements, the lines and grace of the
animals, show incredible talent. The

Formulaic? Same-old, same-old or a comfort read?
I've often heard the term used in a derogatory tone, and to be certain about its meaning, I looked it up. The best explanation came from ArticleWorld.org . Ah,
a standard set of plots, characters, and so on. Yes, I've read many. I
still dislike the word. It's in the same category as "literary."
Literary is often used to imply that other styles of writing are somehow
lacking in quality

Carmen DeSousa's CREATUS!
In every myth there is a modicum of truth…
Creatus
The reason we believe in Fairy Tales—and Monsters.
As the sun’s rays peeked above the
horizon, lighting the abyss below her, she inhaled a deep breath, closed her
eyes, and jumped. She didn’t scream; she didn’t look down. As much as she hated
her life, she hoped it wouldn’t end this way. She’d really like to see him one
more time.

Time of Death excerpt
TIME OF DEATH
Alex, the artist. After a tree falls on her
house, she joins her aunt on an unspoiled island, but something wakens her
family psychic streak. She draws eerily accurate scenes of violence, but she
knows nothing about them.
Connor, the prosecutor. He’s building a case
against a drug lord one piece of evidence at a time. For him it’s personal, and
he can’t risk a relationship
