I loved books growing up. Actually being a published writer felt impossible, so to actually become part of that world has been very gratifying.

New book -- rising action!
A few more minutes, and I figure I can say goodnight to my parents and my sister, take a long shower, and climb into my bed.
I won’t sleep; I’ll go over the game play-by-play like I do after every game, reliving my good plays, my bad plays, my so-so plays. The sting of losing won’t go away, but at least I’ll be alone.

| Great opening, but downhill from there. Older deserted woman, titled, falls for young, poor astronomer. He loves her as well. Many problems arise, some authentic (he is 20, too young to know his heart) but many of the potboiler ilk. Dead husband died ...more | |

| Cromwell, the Roundheads, the Civil War, the protectorate . . . all vague in my head until this book. A very interesting chapter in English history, and a very interesting man. | |

Charlie Cullen was not a good nurse. He was responsible (perhaps) for as many as 400 hospital and nursing home deaths. These weren't mercy killings; they were crimes of opportunity. The story within the story is the ease with which he was able to move ...more |

is 80% done with The Good Nurse: Charlie Cullen finally about to be caught. Amazing that he was able to kill at so many hospitals for so long. Truly shows the desperation of hospitals to get qualified nurses as he had numerous red flags. At this point in the story he's the major suspect, has just been fired, and still gets a job offer.

“I heard Coach Downs never started freshman," he told us. "Well that's not how it is with me. I play the best players, period. If you're a junior with three letters on your jacket, and you shave twice a day, and some smooth-faced freshman whips your ass in practice, then your collecting splinters while he's playing. Understood?
