TRIGGER WARNING: War
Whistle in the sky. We run into the hallway and hide.

The crash of breaking windows sounds in ballet class. The teacher looks at us, makes sure everyone is alright, and lets out a breath. “Class is over. Call your folks to take you home.”

of
Fiction à la Carte: The Recipe for a Great Story:
"Too many books on writing propose to tell you exactly how to do something, how to follow rules, and go on about what those rules are. Paska D offers something different here and it is so refreshing. Putting a recipe/cooking metaphor onto writing is a"

The Seventh Circle: A Forbidden Love MM Mafia Romance (The Lost Cantos Book 1)
by C.G. Macington (Goodreads Author) |
|
| The Seventh Circle is a wonderful MM mafia forbidden romance that hit every one of my expectations—and that’s rare in this subgenre. I loved the subtle allusion to Dante’s Inferno in the title, and the story truly earns that reference with its layere ...more | |

| ’Twas the Night is a chilling little Christmas horror that absolutely gave me shudders. Erica Damon takes what should be the most wholesome tradition—going out as a family to pick a Christmas tree—and twists it into something deeply unsettling. The b ...more | |
“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”

― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
