The Debate over the Confederate Flag

There has been a lot of talk lately about the controversy surrounding the display of the Confederate flag.

Is the Confederate flag a symbol of hatred and racism, or is it a representation of Southern heritage?

The truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Northerners, like myself, tend to view the flag as offensive, a reminder of our nation’s disgraceful bondage of human beings because of their skin color. However, Southerners tend to see the flag as a proud reminder of how their ancestors fought for what they believed in.

I grew up in the 1980s, and I was a big fan of The Dukes of Hazzard. However, at my young age, I didn’t know the significance of the flag or the name General Lee. I just thought it was a cool show with a cool car. Now, toy versions of the famous car are being pulled from store shelves. Products with the flag on it are also being removed from stores, and Apple is pulling Civil War games from their App Store because of the appearance of the flag.

Is all of this just? Is all of this necessary?

The true question is why did this issue take so long to grab the headlines? Why did it take the murder of nine innocent black folks in a South Carolina church to stir this debate?

For me it comes down to this: If someone wants to display the Confederate flag on their property or wear the flag on a t-shirt, they do have the right to do so. However, for the Confederate flag to wave at a government building, anywhere in the United States, is just wrong.

It may be my Northern sensitivities, but I do not like the Confederate flag. To me it does stand for racism and slavery. It also stands for a group of Americans who wanted to split our nation to keep their economic structure intact. Slave labor made many Southerners rich, and, like it or not, the Confederate flag will always be tied to that horrible institution.

If it were up to me, Confederate flags would only be visible in museums.

An Exclusive Interview with Author Jennifer Ott!

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing radio host and author Jennifer Ott!

How would you describe your writing style?

I have written several different genres from literary fiction, satire, dystopian fantasy, romance, erotic, crime drama and now I'm writing a historical vampire novel. Each genre has its own style. My literary fiction books are character driven, whereas the fantasy delves more into prose to describe the setting and crime drama short succinct action sentences that are plot driven. I think my overall style reflects more the book I am writing at the time.

When did you first start writing?

I believe I was around age 12. I recall watching the movie "A Bridge on the River Kwai" and was so taken with the drama of the story; I immediately went and started writing a book. I didn't finish it. I did however finish my first novel at 24. I never published the book, but it did set in motion my path into the writing world. Soon afterward, I started taking screenwriting lessons where I honed my craft of storytelling, character development and dialogue.

What types of stories do you read? Who are your favorite authors?

I like Literary Fiction and enjoy books with strong, well-developed and often unusual characters. I also like books that are sprinkled with philosophy. My favorite authors are John Steinbeck, Milan Kundera and Paulo Coelho.

What is your writing process?

I usually follow screenplay format which is identifying the beginning, the inciting incident, all the plot points, climax, final resolution and end. Within those points, I usually allow the characters to take control and let the story flow naturally.

If you could spend a day with any literary character, who would it be and what would you do?

Doc from Steinbeck's "Sweet Thursday," and "Canary Row"

Did you always want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?

Yes. I would say I was always a writer. It wasn't something I chose; it was always inside me, however I did take a detour through the fashion industry. The fashion industry helped give me stability while writing and also gave me the opportunity to travel overseas, which gave me a great deal of inspiration for many of my books.

What inspires your stories?

People. It's all about understanding people - the human condition. These stories come out in different genres, but they are all the same. It's all about what makes people tick in certain circumstances.

Where is your favorite place to write? Do you have any writing rituals?

I like to write in coffee shops. Something about writing in public gives me more focus.

What is your radio host job like? What are the challenges/rewards of that job?

It is fun. I have the honor of talking to many talented writers, hearing about their inspirations and experiences. I have also interviewed editors, artists and audio book narrators. I learn something from each guest I talk to. There aren't too many challenges, other than I do get nervous before each show, and sometimes it gets a little hard drawing out a guest who is shy or not very talkative. Best guests have a lot to say.

What advice would you give new authors?

Find your voice and stick to it. There are so many writers publishing today, and many try to mimic someone who was successful. What they taught us in screenwriting class is story fads and fashions always change. What is popular today will not be popular tomorrow. If you jump on the bandwagon of popular literature you mind find yourself lost in a very big crowd. Be true to yourself and your stories.

Time of Useful Consciousness Description
Louisa Unger comes of age during the Nazi rise to power in WWII and survives the Allied bombings. It is the death of her father, a Luftwaffe pilot that destroys her spirit most of all.
Years later when the Allies occupy her home town of Stuttgart, there is not more than a crumb of hope for a better future until she follows her brother's trail into the black market where she finds the monsters that brought her nation to war still exist, but now with new identities and differing sinister crimes.
Seduced by extravagances, passion and flying, she grows unaware of any danger until it is too late. What she doesn’t expect is to come face to face with her own past.

Appreciating Writers

Ask the average person who Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky or Lebron James is and not only will they likely know, they’ll probably recall memorable moments in the athletes’ careers.

Ask them who Anthony Doerr is and they are likely to say “Who’s that?”

And that is really a shame.

Anthony Doerr is the author of the WWII-era novel All the Light We Cannot See, the current winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction.

This says a lot about the values in our society. We (myself included) idolize these amazing athletes for what they can do with a ball or puck, but we don’t fully appreciate the astounding accomplishments of writers. With the exceptions of celebrity scribes like Stephen King, J. K. Rowling, and James Patterson, most writers work in relative obscurity, without fanfare, million-dollar salaries or million-dollar shoe deals.

Even the Pulitzer Prizes themselves are grossly overlooked. These top awards for writing are presented at a luncheon at New York’s Columbia University, and they are the only major award ceremony that is not nationally televised.

Do you know who won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction last year? I have to admit, I had to look that one up myself. So I am just a guilty as everyone else.

I am a rabid fan of the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles, which means I too am swept up in the majesty of professional sports. There is nothing wrong with following sports teams, but we should not overlook the beauty and magic of the written word. There are so many great writers in the world, both in fiction and non-fiction, and we should make a better effort to appreciate them.

By the way, Donna Tartt won last year for her novel The Goldfinch.

A Character Interview with Karen Thorn

Today I am interviewing Karen Thorn, the main character from my novel The Manila Strangler, a riveting story of a private investigator and a Philadelphia police detective who try to catch a serial killer in the City of Brotherly Love.

P.I. Karen Thorn and Det. Sean O’Brien hunt for the killer, who uses a length of manila rope to strangle his victims, after Thorn is hired by the father of the first victim. The suspects include a shady politician, a notorious mobster, and a professional football player, all of whom have strong motives for murder. Meanwhile, Karen prepares for a crucial boxing match against an opponent with ties to organized crime, and she endangers herself by refusing to cooperate with a vicious gangster who will do anything to make a profit. The murder investigation is further complicated by a newspaper reporter who doggedly pursues the high-profile case.

http://www.amazon.com/Manila-Strangle...

Steven Donahue: Karen, in this investigation, you are paired with an old flame, Sean O’Brien. What was it like to work with him on this case?

Karen Thorn: It was awkward at first. But Sean is a real professional; he handled himself appropriately the whole time we worked together. Still, I think it was as hard for him as it was for me, and maybe there were still some feelings there, for both of us.

SD: You were a decorated Philadelphia police detective at one time. What challenges did you face as a female detective in the department?

KT: You would be surprised. Even in the 21st Century, there were still some men who didn’t like having a woman on the job. I had to work twice as hard as a man to prove my worth. I mostly dealt with sneering, vulgar language and cold shoulders, but it never got physical.

SD: How did you wind up becoming a private investigator?

KT: I loved being a cop. I loved serving the people. But it wasn’t easy following all the rules. Sometimes my emotions got the best of me, especially dealing with perps. I may have been overly rough with a few of them. That’s what the department accused me of when they ordered me off of the force. As a private investigator, I am my own boss. I like being in control of my life and not worrying about regulations. I answer only to my clients and all they really want are results.

SD: Your father was a Philly cop in his day. How did that influence your career choice?

KT: My dad was a great cop. He was popular and respected on the force. As I grew up, he would tell me some of his war stories and I loved them. I don’t think he was trying to groom me to follow in his footsteps, but that is what happened. I wanted to be just like him. I wanted to make him proud. I hope I did.

SD: What led you to become a professional boxer?

KT: I took boxing lessons as a kid to toughen up and protect myself. The more I learned about the sport, the more I loved it. It allowed me a reasonable outlet for anger and aggression. My first trainer told me I was a natural and I stayed with it through all these years. Boxing is the only thing I loved as much as being a cop.

SD: How do you balance your work life with your boxing career?

KT: It is a real challenge. Fortunately, I have a great assistant, Dana Cassidy, who manages my caseload and keeps me pointed in the right direction. I also have a terrific trainer named Goldie Tanner, who knows when to push me and when to back off. I’d be lost without either of them in my life.

SD: This Manila Strangler case looks look a tough one to solve. How confident are you that you and Sean will find the killer?

KT: Sean is a great detective. I wouldn’t want anyone else working with me on this case. This killer is clever and careful, so we have our hands full trying to stop him or her. I’m hoping the killer’s ego will work in our favor, since the killer is leaving us clues. It will take all of our skills to solve this case.

Who is the Manila Strangler?

What do the victims have in common?

Will Karen and Sean find the killer?

Find out for yourself.

Women Deserve Better

I recently watched a 1980’s episode of Family Ties, the one where conservative Alex Keaton fakes his support of the Equal Rights Amendment to impress a cute girl. In the end, he confesses that he doesn’t support passage of the ERA.

That episode got me thinking: What ever happened to the ERA?

Well, in the early 1970s, Congress passed the amendment and sent it to the states for ratification. However, it did not garner enough votes and the legislation died. From there, supporters have worked to try to get it passed, but the ERA has never become law.

Let’s think about this for a moment. Even today, women still do not earn equal pay for equal work in many jobs, as compared to their male counterparts. How in the 21st Century is this still possible? And why aren’t more people (not just women) voicing their concern?

The U.S. economy is still weak and our reputation on international affairs is dubious at best, but shouldn’t we still strive to be the human rights leaders of the world? Shouldn’t we be the beacon of hope for women in other nations where they are not only denied equality, but are subjugated by male-dominated societies that consider them to be property?

You may want to label me a feminist (and considering that the main characters in three of my books, Amanda Rio, The Manila Strangler and Amy the Astronaut and the Flight for Freedom are strong females, maybe I am) but that doesn’t change the fact that inequality among the sexes still exists in the United States.

What can we do about it? Write to your representatives in Congress. Write to President Obama. Tell them it is time to make the ERA law.

Alex Keaton was wrong to oppose the ERA in the 1980s and we are doing women a major injustice by not making their equality the law of the land in 2014. It’s time to change that.

The Fire of Heaven by Tom Wallace

Check out the new release of
The Fire of Heaven
by author Tom Wallace!

Find it soon on Amazon.com


Lexington Detective Jack Dantzler is asked to look into a death that has been ruled a suicide. When he learns how the person died—cyanide poisoning—he immediately suspects that the victim was murdered. Although the death occurred in another county, Dantzler agrees to look into what is a closed case. However, before he can begin his investigation, a medical clinic is bombed and a woman dies in the blast. Within days, the owner of the clinic is murdered.

As Dantzler digs deeper into these cases, he begins to suspect that the murders are somehow linked together. But how? And who is the link? Dantzler’s list of potential suspects grows, and so does the body count. Suddenly, Dantzler is scrambling to bring down the killer—or killers—before more blood is spilled. It’s a race he cannot afford to lose.

The Fire of Heaven features a cast of memorable characters, headed, of course, by Dantzler, the gifted detective critics have compared to Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch. Critic Natasha Jackson said it best: “The Fire of Heaven pulls you in right from the very first paragraph, and Tom Wallace does a great job of creating a world-class detective in Dantzler.”

Author Bio:

He also wrote the thriller, Heirs of Cain (2010). The List (2013), finds both Detective Dantzler and legendary assassin, Cain, from Heirs of Cain, crossing paths.
Tom spent many years as a successful, award-winning sportswriter in his native Kentucky. He authored five sports-related books, including the highly popular Kentucky Basketball Encyclopedia, an in-depth history of the University of Kentucky’s legendary hoops program. Tom, a Vietnam vet, is an active member of Mystery Writers of America and the Author’s Guild.

Books That Would Make Great Movies

Hollywood doesn’t shy away from turning popular books into movies, but recently it seems as though movie executives have been relying too heavily on sequels and movie remakes rather than new book adaptations. This mentality robs moviegoers of enjoying some great stories on the big screen.

So Hollywood, listen up! Below is my list of books that I think would make terrific movies. (No, I did not include any of my books, even though I think all of them would be great choices).

Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. This has been talked about for decades, but Salinger’s reluctance to allow his classic teen angst novel to be made into a movie has been the major obstacle. Now that he has passed, maybe this long-awaited film can finally be made.

The Deepest Blue by Kim Williams Justesen. A 2013 release means this novel hasn’t had much time to build up steam for the big screen. However, Justesen’s story about a teenager fighting for his right to remain a North Carolina resident after his father’s sudden death is filled with emotion, and, with the right director, could be made into an Oscar-worthy film.

Prison Nation by Jenni Merritt. This is one of the most original Sci-Fi novels published in the last few decades. A dystopian story of a girl born in a prison to inmate parents and her challenges both inside the institution and outside in the harsh, real world is reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984. Merritt infuses the story with action and drama that would translate well to the big screen.

The Counterfeit Tackle by Matt Christopher. It amazes me that none of Christopher’s stories have been made into movies yet. He certainly has enough great books to choose from. This one is my favorite. Twin brothers switch places so one can go to a professional football game without getting in trouble for missing his own Pee Wee football game. The swap allows the lesser athletic brother to experience the world his more popular sibling inhabits.

Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke. When giant alien ships arrive on Earth, people tend to get a bit nervous. In Clarke’s Sci-Fi classic, that anxiety seems warranted. The Overlords are mysterious and powerful, and not very forthright about their plans. However, this is not War of the Worlds and these are not blood-thirsty Martians. They are here for a much different reason, one that shapes the future of Mankind.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. This is another surprising case. Huxley’s book is so popular that the title has found its way into the American lexicon, but somehow the story has not yet been put on film. This bleak tale of government dominance and genetic engineering is a timeless reminder of what could happen if any society allows itself to be robbed of basic human rights.

The Last Dog on Earth by Daniel Ehrenhaft. This examination of paranoia in the face of a viral outbreak is a sobering look at human behavior. Ehrenhaft’s book focuses on an estranged boy who pairs up with a lonely canine that is hunted for the mere possibility of carrying a deadly disease. Its strong environmental message is a good wake-up call for 21st Century human beings.

So there you have it, Hollywood. Let’s get these films made!

Five Short Stories Everyone Should Read

There have been many great short stories written by many great writers. Below is a list of five of those stories, all of which deserve everyone's attention.


5. A Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

The brilliant Sherlock Holmes comes to the aid of a king who tries to avoid a royal disgrace, but Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s sleuth meets his match: a woman who may be just as clever as the World’s Greatest Detective.

4. Gift of the Magi by O’Henry.

A couple’s love is illustrated by the sacrifices they make for each other in this O’Henry ballad.

3. The Tell-tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe.

A murderer’s conscience gets the best of him in Poe’s creepy classic about a man who kills a rival and then buries him under the floorboards of his apartment.

2. The Dead by James Joyce.

Joyce’s introspective story about Dubliners at a holiday party, including a popular man who discovers that his idyllic life is not as perfect as it seems.

1. A Clean, Well-Lighted Place by Ernest Hemingway.

This straight-forward tale of two waiters closing up a café shows Hemingway’s greatest strength: capturing the dignity of the human spirit.

Interview with Author Kristen Duvall

Welcome author Kristen Duvall, who stopped by today to discuss her new book, Femmes du Chaos, which is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.

Femmes du Chaos:

They messed with the wrong girl this time.

From heroes to villains, Femmes du Chaos sets out to show the world what the fairer sex is really made of. You’ll meet women of all ages and from many different walks of life... Warriors and schoolgirls, side-by-side in one place. One thing connects them all, and that is their ambition. Whether they use their ambition for good or evil, well that’s for them to decide. Gritty, fantastical and sometimes uncomfortable to read, Femmes du Chaos is a tour de force that holds nothing back. There will be violence and there will be blood.

Here are a few of the femmes you'll meet in this thrilling collection:

Sylvia: The bounty hunter with a dark past who is hell-bent on revenge. When the justice system fails her, she sets out to correct their mistakes.

Layla: The ballerina who wants to be a star who's spent her life being overshadowed and under-appreciated. What happens when she stumbles across magic that makes her sister the star she's longed to be for so long? Let’s just say, you’ve never seen sibling rivalry like this before.

Mallory: A young girl who can see the future in her dreams. She’s saved lives in the past, and her dreams are warning her to not return to the world they all left behind. Faced with starvation, no one wants to believe her about the multitude of horrors that wait for them above. After all, monsters don’t exist... Or do they?

Some will survive and come out stronger in the end... And some will let the darkness consume them. After all, no two girls are ever alike.



Kristen, how would you describe your writing style?

I have a pretty simple style. I like to keep my writing pretty right - descriptions that aren't flowery and only when they add to the story, story that comes through in dialogue and action as much as possible opposed to it being told, etc. I write mostly dark fiction, though I dabble in YA and middle-grade sometimes too.

When did you first start writing?

Before I could even write for myself, I told my mom the story I wanted written and she drew the photos and stapled the pages together for me to make a book. So my first book was written when I was 4 or 5 years old, perhaps younger. I can't really remember much except it featured a cat and one scene had the cat on top of the fridge asking for food.

What is your writing process?

Most of the time, an idea hits me and I write it. When I am in the middle of other projects, I will write out a brief sketch and perhaps the first few sentences that come to mind. I rarely do an outline and when I do, it's pretty brief. I've only started dabbling in outlines recently too, and it's something that may help me with future projects. Mostly, I have the basic plot in my head and let the story unfold as I write it.

If you could spend a day with any literary character, who would it be and what would you do?

Hannibal Lector and do you really want to know what we'd do? Kidding. Though I think he's an interesting character and would make be fun to interview sometime. One of my favorite villains of all time.

Did you always want to be a writer? If not what did you want to be?

I've always enjoyed writing, but I used to lack the confidence to push toward making it a career. So I chose “practical” fields instead. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Finance with a Master’s Degree from Clemson University. I was going to be a real estate developer specializing in urban redevelopment. Then the economy collapsed and I realized no field is completely safe, so why not do what I love?

What inspires your stories?

Usually, my dreams. I have the most interesting dreams and they often come complete with characters, dialogue and more. I surprise myself with how imaginative my sleeping brain is sometimes. When I was a kid, my mom took me to a therapist for my disturbing dreams, but now I appreciate them. More often than not, I am distanced from the dream itself... It's like I'm watching it unfold before me. My dreams are often bloody, violent and disturbing, but now I know they're just dreams and can take them for the entertainment value much like someone would do a movie. Messed up, but at least I'm not longer afraid to go to sleep at night and they inspire some of the best stories. My forthcoming novel, The Caged Girl, is based entirely off a dream I had several years ago. Several of the short stories in Femmes du Chaos came to me in dreams too, including Sated and Devils and Darlings.

Where is your favorite place to write?

My dining room table. I like the comforts of home, there are fewer distractions and I can be near my babies (my dog and cat). I can grab a bite to eat as needed, and can stop to take a nap if I find I've worked my brain too hard. I'm a bit of a homebody, and I'm becoming more of an introvert every day.

What advice would you give new authors?

Develop a thick skin and be open to criticism. In order to grow as a writer, you must be willing to hear what others have to say. There's no way you can please everyone, so don't try. Write for yourself, listen to what others have to say but learn to file the important feedback away while disposing of the useless garbage. You'll have critics, you'll get rejection. That's part of putting yourself out there. You can only get better with practice and feedback. Find some trusted beta readers who will give you HONEST feedback and keep writing.

About the author:

Kristen Duvall is a writer of tales both real and make believe. Born and raised in the Midwest, she now resides in Southern California with her boyfriend, her Great Dane and her rescued calico kitty. She's been writing and sharing her work online for several years now, and has decided to take the plunge into publishing her work for the world to read.

Interview with author Jenn Nixon

Hey everybody, author Jenn Nixon stopped by to talk about her new book MIND: The Beginning.

What inspired this book?

My brother and I, though not twins, have a very strange connection. We have, at times, had the same thoughts at the same time, even when not together. I took that weird aspect of our lives and created Dina and Duncan, threw in a little Sci-Fi and came up with the concept for MIND: The Beginning.

How would you describe your writing style?

Tomboy Fiction with Heart. I’m a hopeless romantic, but have never been what most would call a girly-girl. I’m a jeans and T-Shirt, football watching, videogame playing tomboy who loves a happily ever after ending.

What is your writing process?

I tend to “plot” in my head for a while before putting anything down on paper. I write up character sheets and flesh out a barebones plot, then I sit down, start writing and let the characters take me where they want to go.

If you could spend a day with any literary character, who would it be and what would you do?

Does Doctor Who count? They’ve written books about him! An alien who can travel in space and time is probably the coolest character in the universe, I’m not sure I could top him! We would step into the TARDIS and have amazing adventures.

What advice would you give new authors?

Learn all you can about writing. With writing comes rules like eliminating crutch words, showing not telling, and scene and sequel writing. The best advice I can give is to join a writer’s group, find critique partners you trust to read your work and give you honest feedback, continue to learn with each new project, and never, ever give up if it’s your passion.

About the book:

After Dina Ranger loses telepathic contact with her brother, she breaks into his apartment and stumbles onto a special government unit responsible for monitoring the psychic population. She’s offered a job where she can use her psionic gifts to help people.
Stranded on earth over a hundred years ago, Liam of Shria is searching for a metal needed to repair his ship when he finds Dina, a telepathic investigator, and narrowly saves her from an exploding alien pod. Together, they uncover a plot to rebuild an ancient weapon and discover the truth behind Dina’s abilities while unlocking dangerous secrets about the alien presence on earth.
Can they stop a powerful weapon meant to enslave the human race? Can their relationship survive the secrets of the past or will it tear them apart?

About the author:
Jenn’s love of writing started the year she received her first diary and Nancy Drew novel. Throughout her teenage years, she kept a diary of her personal thoughts and feelings but graduated from Nancy Drew to other mystery suspense novels.
Jenn often adds a thriller and suspense element to anything she writes be it Romance, Science Fiction, or Fantasy. When not writing, she spends her time reading, observing pop culture, playing with her two dogs, and working on various charitable projects in her home state of New Jersey.
