Trapped in Hitler’s Web, Jan 23 event
Marta Czurylowicz did a wonderful job of moderating this virtual book event, or should I say events? It was supposed to be a single presentation but in order to reduce the audience size we did two back to back presentations. The questions were very interesting! I was thrilled to find out that Marta received an … Continue reading "Trapped in Hitler’s Web, Jan 23 event"

Nothing the Same, Everything Haunted: The Ballad of Motl the Cowboy
by Gary Barwin (Goodreads Author) |
|
| Some will read this just for Barwin's signature wordplay and humour, but so much more than that has been layered into this quixotic Holocaust cowboy tale. This is a searing commentary on how genocide repeats itself. Disturbing and brilliant. ...more | |
“Kat happened to get a spot in the cafeteria line-up just behind the young woman lawyer who presented the case against her grandfather. She had removed her black robe too, and Kat found her much less threatening in her cream coloured jacket and trousers. The woman grabbed a carton of milk and then a tossed salad from behind the Plexiglas door. "Stay clear of the noodle soup," she said to Kat pleasantly. "It's vile."
Kat smiled back at her. How odd that this woman could be so nice. It must all be in a day's work for her to tear apart and impoverish families. Kat grabbed some red Jell-O and a carton of orange juice for herself. She didn't really feel like eating: she was just going through the motions.”

Dear Jamie,Alas, I cannot read and comment on your story but I can give you some advice. My biggest piece of advice is once you've written a story, let it sit for awhile (an hour, or even a day) and then go back and read it and think of ways that you could improve it. I do 60 or more revisions on every story that I write. Practice and revision make all the difference. Good wishes with your writing.
best
Marsha

Nice to hear from you, Kristin! Congrats on the new book and that's awesome about the painting!
Hi Marsha.Hope all is well in your world. I haven't fallen off the face of the earth; just left the social network. (It's been a year and a half already.) It wasn't a a healthy fit for me. New book coming out next spring. In the meantime, I'm honing my painting skills. Who knows? Perhaps I can become an illustrator. To catch up on my activity or to get in touch, please visit me at my website: www.kristinbutcher.com

Thanks for the friend request! It's great hooking up with you here and sharing our love of books.
Thanks for being my goodreads buddy, Marsha! My new romantic suspense, The Twist is a Bookstrand #1 Bestseller! A story of mind-bending control and unnerving metamorphosis, The Twist unravels the tale of a hotshot consultant as he struggles to foil a plot to steal $12 million and to rescue the feisty, female scientist who has stolen his heart.
