#Writing about a location – Do you have to go there? @dmassenzio ‏

Great post from Don Massenzio regarding writing about a location:

Author Don Massenzio

One of the most important aspects of your writing is the setting. You want to accomplish a couple of things when you write about a particular place. First, you want to give your reader a sense of the place you are writing about in a descriptive way that transports them there. There are books I have read that have made me feel that I was experiencing the place even if I hadn’t been there. One of my favorites...

What inspires me to write?

Laura Libricz answers 20 questions

What inspires you to write?

When I write, I am inspired by interesting characters, real people and fictional, and I love to analyze them because I want to find the truth. I love to listen to people talk and I wonder what’s behind their words, what they are really saying. Trying to figure out what motivates people to do what they...

The Fight by Robert Fear

Es Cana, Ibiza, Spain – August 1977

Jose took an immediate dislike to me.

He worked as a waiter at the Panorama hotel near the seafront. I had been there to see Diane, an English girl I met while at work in Grannies Bar. Petite and with short blond hair, she had a delightful personality. She was also a real head-turner.

Diane came to Ibiza on a two-week holiday with her friend, Elaine. It felt fantastic sh...

Overcoming #shame: Time to Let in the Light @harmony_kent #RRBC #MondayBlogs

Today I’d like to welcome RRBC RWISA author Harmony Kent to share her piece: Live or Die?

Live or Die? by Harmony Kent

Sometimes, you need to accept help. Sometimes, you need to admit that you need it. Sometimes, you need to take the hand that’s offered. You reached out and took my arm. I let you. I took the assistance I needed. I gripped your hand so that you could pull me to my feet. The last thing I needed was for you to slit my wrists. So much blood. All that carnage. My heart ripped rig...

Look at Amazing Cuba with #RRBC RWISA author @mhthompsonsr #faith

Today, I welcome RRBC author Michael Hicks Thompson and this powerful piece about Cuba:

[image error]

DETOUR → CUBA PART I

Once the port-of-call jewel for Magnus Wealthy, Cuba has been a country lost in time for the last half century, plus some.

Never been to Cuba? I recommend it. But do it before it returns to the playground of the filthy rich and the Hemingway admirers.

Yes, I’ve been there twice. But not as Magnus Wealthy. Think short-term mission trip. Door-to-door evangelism. Knock, knock. “May we co...

The Soldier’s Return

Book 2 in the HEAVEN’S POND Trilogy is now available in paperback, for your Kindle, and FREE with the Kindle Unlimited lending library.

The year is 1626. A senseless war rips through parts of Germany. Ongoing animosity between the Catholics and the Protestants has turned into an excuse to destroy much of the landscape situated between France, Italy and Denmark. But religion only plays a minor role in this lucrative business of war.

The young dutchman, Pieter van Diemen...

Dead Karma (The Swanson Herbinko Mystery Series): Swanson on a yoga retreat in Tulum, Mexico

by Bathsheba Monk

Boston divorce lawyer, Swanson Herbinko, knows better than to fall in love again after her first two loves ended tragically, but when the sun is hot and water turquoise blue and there’s magic in the air—in other words if she’s in Tulum, Mexico—she can’t help falling under the spell of not only Mark Stevens, but of world famous yoga guru Hunter Hanna.

Swanson first meets Hunter at a...
