Book Review: The Beast of Macon Hollow by T.C. Harrelson
In The Beast of Macon Hollow T C Harrelson wove a story that kept me wanting to read on, pulling me towards a delightfully twisted ending. While many of the events in the climax were no surprise (the hints were there if you paid attention), there was one twist I did not see coming. I like that.

Every Character Is Somebody
This is why it is perhaps even more important for someone who writes like I do to never forget that every character is somebody, no matter how small a bit part they play.

Book Review: Scorpion Bay by Michael Murphy
Michael Murphy did justice to both the place and the dangerous feel of the name. Scorpion Bay is more than an action packed mystery, it draws you into its web of intrigue and plays on sub plots that make you wonder where they will take you. Just when you think you figured it out you learn not to make any assumptions.

Exhausted by Sidney Gaudet
Exhausted is like the color gray.
Like a hungry wolf that spend the whole night looking for food,
Or the soot you cleaned out of the fireplace.
It is like the clouds on a rainy day that woke me from my slumber,
Like the huge rock I tried to bring home.

Book Review – Dragon Tears by Dean Koontz
While Dean Koontz momentarily lost me with the battle among mannequins above a small restaurant with the perpetrator lobbing grenades, the story returns to drawn you through a strange series of events in a race against time and death at the hands of a merciless monster.

Book Review by R Gaudet on Gilles Tibo’s Too Many Books
He tries to clean his cat. And then he tries to tie his shoes, but he got books and he did that and tied everything into a bow.

March Mayhem – MAIM – March Amend & Improve Mayham
I predict March is as good a time as any to go back and tackle that first revision of the NaNo novel. A no holds barred attack in the same spirit of NaNoWriMo.

Gift In The Waves
Today is anti bullying day.
To help spread the word and in support of the movement to end bullying, I have written a short story.
.
This is the story of Sarah Carpenter.
Sarah Carpenter is a teenager with a big problem. She is being bullied.
With her low self esteem and the stress and helplessness of being a victim of bullying, Sarah has become a suicidal girl whose salvation comes through a promise not to kill herself if only she received a sign through a special gift sent to her in the waves

Confessions of a Comma Junkie
Ok, I admit it, I’m a comma junkie. I write mainly by the seat of my pants, my fingers flying across the keyboard and barely (not always) keeping up with the words flowing through my head. And I can type faster than I can hurriedly scrawl illegible scribbles mimicking words. . Apparently I like commas. [...]
