For my latest blog post at A Line A Day I posted my short story, THE RIDE HOME. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. http://lineaday.blogspot.com/2014/07/...
Or maybe happiness by definition was a temporary state of being recognizable only in hindsight. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/18999629... ~ from Matters of Convenience http://www.pinterest.com/authorofpatc...
Life was a swirl of mysteries, each one waiting to be plucked up and explored, but not necessarily solved. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/18999629... ~ from Matters of Convenience
She had been a seat filler, memorable as the smiling face of a beautiful girl in the window of a passing train, inspiring a fleeting moment of joy and promise, immediately forgotten with the opening of that day’s newspaper. http://www.pinterest.com/pin/18999629... ~ from Matters of Convenience

Dear gentle readers, lend me your ears and check out my reading of Rite of Passage http://lineaday.blogspot.com/2014/05/... at A Line A Day. I was assisted by my girlfriend at the time, now my wife. If you need extra incentive then perhaps you're hearing here first that May is Short Story Month http://shortstorymonth.com/
It's been said that there are no original ideas. A fellow GoodReaders recommended Alfie to me. I'm familiar with but have never watched either of the movie versions, and until today did not realize it had been adapted from a novel (as are most of the best movies). Anyway, as I read the synopsis it felt as if I was reading the synopsis of my very own novella - Feeding the Squirrels. Fancy that! I may not get around to reading Alfie, but at the very least I suppose I must check out one of the movies based on it to see how it compares to my story. If any of you wishes to compare and contrast them, I posted Feeding the Squirrels chapter by chapter in serial format at my blog - A Line A Day. The story begins here, with its Prologue: http://lineaday.blogspot.com/2013/02/...

"Todd once spoke passionately to Audrey of forever. She had since become an expert on the fluid definition of that term. Like love itself, forever meant different things to people at different times. They could imagine what infinity looked and felt like as much as they wanted, but could never truly grasp its meaning nor bear its full weight." - From Matters of Convenience http://lineaday.blogspot.com/2013/12/... Wish me luck in Amazon's Breakthrough Novel contest!
