Fiction/Short Stories: A Sudden Outburst of Cosmic Duck, by Troy Blackford

Because I edited this book, I have a pretty in depth understanding of the concepts and characters Troy was going for. In working with Troy, I also have a pretty good idea about his own character and am able to appreciate how his personality traits played out in his short stories.









Though I have not had a chance to read the final cut of the book ( I have no idea what changes Troy made without my guidance!), I do know that it is not too far off of the original.… Continue

This book lays out very easy to understand principles which help a person tackle everything about writing fiction; from…

Mrs. Pinkelmeyer and Moopus McGlinden Burn the Rrrrump Rrrroast is a children's book written by Jennifer Kelman, and illustrated by Michael Swaim. In this story, what I'm led to believe is the first in many adventures, Mrs. Pinkelmeyer gets a phone call from a stranger which leads her to telling tales of her dog Moopus and completely forgetting about her rrrump rrroast in the oven.



This story was a fun read. My girls got a kick out of the rolling R's in "rump roast",… Continue
