Mary Bennet in "The Sun Also Shines for me"
The Sun Also Shines for me
by Noe and Cindy
We've been posting some photos with excerpts from our book on our Facebook page.
Thought you might like to see them too, but first:
I love the look on this girl's face ... Tessa Peake-Jones did a great job playing Mary Bennet in the 1980 version of Pride and Prejudice.

Goodreads review: Mycroft Holmes
Noe's review
Mycroft Holmes by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
If this book was a movie, it would be a bad B movie. The plot, dialogue, and scenes lack imagination and bear all the marks of what is trite. Other than the name Holmes, it has no resemblance to a Holmesian tale.
The story is about Sherlock’s older brother Mycroft, and therein lies another problem. The authors make

Where's that new novel?
Still in progress ...
We really have been writing this year!
I know, it's been awhile since our last novel was published. The Sun Also Shines for me went out on November 30, 2014 to be exact. However, we did publish two short stories this year—Mr Darcy and the Space-time Continuum was Jan. 2015 and The Conversation ... with Elizabeth Darcy and Emma Knightley was in May.
So why haven't we

Perfectly Preposterous Pride and Prejudice
The continuing saga ...
Pride and Prejudice has had its share of ... shall I say, interesting ... though I would prefer to say, strange ... variations. Yes, it can be pointed out that Cindy and I put Mr. Darcy in outer space 500 years into the future in our eshort story, Mr Darcy and the Space-time Continuum. And for that reason, it shouldn't be too out of character for us to introduce a

Austen's Great Debates
Debates, not arguments
"It is a truth universally acknowledged ..." Jane Austen's stories make her readers marvel at her power of spinning a tale. We admire her ability to create an intriguing twist of circumstances out of which we wonder, will love triumph? Her storytelling is so good, I still feel this way each time I reread her books. And, of course, there is her eye for human comedy, or

We're on Facebook!
Finally ...
I never liked Facebook way back when, so I stayed away from it. But things change and I recently thought it would be a good idea for us to get an FB page for our writing.
It's taking me just a little while to get to know it, but I find it's pretty much like Instagram and even Google+ in the way it's all set up. Not sure which I like best, but I do like that on IG you can find more

Goodreads review: Ann Veronica
Noe's review
Ann Veronica, a modern love story by H.G. WellsMy rating: 2 of 5 stars H. G. Wells - that name makes most of us think of science fiction, so when I came across a love story by him, I had to read it. Not because I’m a big Wells fan, though. I have read the Time Machine and War of the Worlds and didn’t like either one. The movies based on those two stories are much better, but

Comparing Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennet
Who makes the most compelling heroine***?
This is not about which is the better story, but rather which of these girls is most to be admired for their character and outstanding achievements.
Let’s begin with Elizabeth Bennet, who is admired for standing up for her ideal of love even when doing so puts her at a decided disadvantage by turning down the marriage proposals of Mr. Collins
