Some People Would Be More Comfortable If I Were A Victim

I have come to believe over and over again that what is most important to me must be spoken, made verbal and shared, even at the risk of having it bruised or misunderstood. --Audre Lorde





I thought I'd share this quote as it pertains to my current dilemma: misunderstanding. You see, I worked diligently to write, to express a tough story without whining, crying or playing the victim. And yet there are some people who think I am holding back, that there was some sort of sexual… Continue

Book Review: Terror Time by William P. Robertson A GREAT BOOK FOR A GOOD SCARE!

I read this book on Halloween, and it was the perfect read for that day! William Robertson has taken a collection of his poetry and short stories and offers readers a book that is both thought-provoking and scary. A couple of the stories are written using characters from his previously published collections of stories, but they stand on their on as great stories too.



Several of the poems, while written simply, are haunting and will stay with the reader for some time. Robertson has a… Continue

Agents - Are they really necessary?

I have been told by many in the writing world that in order to make it big, or even mid-list, you need an agent. Is this true? If so, how does one obtain an agent? I get the usual responses when querying agents--"We have all we can handle" or "It sounds good, but is just not what we are looking for." I was fortunate to place my first book, The Reckoning, with a small independent publisher, but it would be nice to expand into larger publishing opportunities where my work can be promoted on a… Continue

Poem: Outside the Windy City

Outside the Windy City

lives the Lady Finnegan -

Carol dearly loves the Lord Jehovah

and is a part of His earthly plan.



Her heart has been pierced

by God's Holy Spirit;

for she placed her life before Him

and has chosen to submit.



Her adoration for the King

has burst forth with heart's joy,

from reading her great nephew's literature

within the borders of Illinois.



Now she's become God's messenger

via her gifts of… Continue

Each butterfly was photographed against a black background which brings its beauty out quite clear. You can see even the transparency of the wings in… Continue

NORMAN ROCKWELL: BEHIND THE CAMERA By Ron Schick

This book will bring good memories to baby boomers. My parents subscribed to the Saturday Evening Post and every month it would arrive with a new cover from Norman Rockwell. I grew up thinking that was the way life in the United States was all about -- very idyllic view.



The book covers the way Norman Rockwell created his covers by taking pictures of the different aspects of his design. Once he captured the parts he… Continue

How to Roast a Lamb by Michael Psilakis

When I saw this book, I was impressed by its look. Big and Pretty. I love greek food so I though that the best way to review this book was to cook a meal from it. I opened the pages randomly and selected my dishes. I am not a great cook but can follow instructions very well. I crossed my fingers and wished for the best.



The first dish that I tried was on page 55, Roasted Scallops with Cauliflower, Tart Dried Cherries… Continue
