Theatre of the Macabre: Another happy little diddy from The Vesuvius Isotope

Well accustomed to the frequent travel mandated by my career, I usually sleep as soundly on an overnight flight as in my own bed at home.  This time, my restless, shallow sleep was a theater for recurrent loops of horrifying…

Another happy little diddy from The Vesuvius Isotope: Clues

I sobbed endlessly as I scrubbed Jeff’s blood from our terrace floor and the wrought iron railing.  While sopping up the blood on Teresa’s deck, twice I had to pause to vomit into the bucket I was using to clean.  When I had finished erasing the evidence of my husband’s death, I…

Bodies on White Mattresses

There are hundreds of them, thousands.  Agonized, nameless faces and ransacked bodies writhing in desperation on white mattresses.  An IV drips into one arm of each.
The beds are clean, the facilities immaculate.  The glaring lights upon the brilliant white beds only accent the…

The Bastard Child of Sandra Bernhard and Howard Stern

Alyssa led me across the room as she spoke, reaching into her pocket to withdraw the hefty keychain from her office.  “I’m sure you are familiar with the rest of the tragedy, which culminates in the suicides of Cleopatra and Marc Antony, the end of both the Ptolemaic dynasty and the Roman republic, and the…

Where The Heart Is - An Excerpt

Set in my hometown in Western Australia in the early 1980s, WHERE THE HEART IS, is based on true life events and people I’ve known.  It is a story about the struggle for tolerance and acceptance in a tumultuous time in the country’s history.     
Multiculturalism was something most people had to adjust to.  Some did it well, some, not so well.

I'm sad to see you go...

My month-long blog tour is nearing its end. I feel like I’m losing a friend. It’s been fun seeing all the posts about Freelance Writing Guide and keeping in touch with the blog tour participants. It took me one month to organize the tour and one month for the tour itself, and now, it’s coming to a close. I will miss all of the fun I’ve had. I hope you’ve had fun too – learning readers’ opinions about my book, getting to read an excerpt from the book, learning more about me, and…

Excerpt from what I am currently working on; the sequel toTHE KEEPER.

It seemed to be taking Jason a long time. I was thinking of finding a random guy to check on him, but suddenly I was hit with the strangest feeling. Not nausea in the normal sense, but a definite sensation in the pit of my stomach like dread and nervousness and nausea mixed but more intense. It hit me like a brick, all at once with no warning. The room spun a little. The girls were oblivious. Air. I needed to get some air. I pushed my way through the tables and servers with trays, almost…

Excerpt Of AFTERNOON TEA by J. R. LaGreca, historical fiction/mystery, Fiction With Intrigue!

AFTERNOON TEA by J. R. LaGreca

Chapter One

The Roses



The town of Clinton, Connecticut lay beneath mounds of freshly fallen

snow. A lone shadow against the New England landscape, Lawrence Gray’s

gnarled form veered alongside the cathedral to the Saint James Cemetery.

The skeleton trees exaggerated the old man’s pallor while the bouquet of

roses he clutched contrasted to the winter and season of his life.… Continue
