Hi, fairly new to the group.

I have a book published titled 'How to Have Fun with Retirement'.

FUN and RETIREMENT are assumed to be one and the same.

 

This is a collection of light-hearted, yet informative, articles about seniors and retirement living.

 

They are written for the SENIOR WIRE NEW SERVICE, the nation's leading syndication of news, information and features for mature market publications. Over 50 papers nationwide (as well as Canada and India) currently pick up stories from SENIOR WIRE.

 

Many of the articles in this book were also published in the UPRIVER

COMMUNITY NEW of the Skagit Valley area, north of Seattle, Washington;

and others in assorted publications across the land.

 

In addition to the fun articles, there are tad bits of useful, if not

useless information to enhance the FUN with RETIREMENT: Dreams,

Fantasies, Loose Facts, Jokes, and Elucidations that have come from semiscientific

papers, true stories told by a liar, personal experiences as logged

and blogged on the Internet and passed on as remedies and antidotes for the

human condition … and also just plain old made-up stuff.

See more about the book and some sample chapters at:

PULP

Struggling thriller writer Kevin Turner just received a panicked call from his ex-girlfriend Tina, a self-proclaimed clairvoyant prostitute. One of her clients, the mayor’s married son, died in her bed and she needs Kevin’s help to dispose of the body. As if Kevin doesn’t have enough problems. His current girlfriend is the spouse of the gay woman who signs his meager paycheck, his sixth credit card has hit its limit, he received word that his eight-month wait for his second advance check was being withheld by Gotham Publishing until he made the absurd changes in his manuscript that they wanted, and he just discovered his recently deceased father, who Tina claims she’s in contact with, owes ten grand from an internet gambling debt, which Kevin would now have to figure a way to pay. When Kevin discovers Tina’s psychotic brother has chopped up the body, and the police are finding the pieces spread across the suburbs, it sets off a chain of events more bizarre and horrifying than the plot of one of Kevin’s own novels.

In The Sinner’s Kiss, Clarke tells the story of betrayal, revenge in France and Morocco during the fin de siècle.  Three women are drawn to the Lothario, Gabriel. Madame de Rosa desires him to be her instrument of revenge. Justine and Esmée, in contrast, desire him to escape the confines of society, a world where enemies prepare to strike like Madame de Rosa whose actions have dangerous, tragic consequences not only for her, but also for the other women.  Their stories are woven into the fabric of nineteenth century conventions regarding female conduct, where those who desire pay a price.

My busy day keeps getting better - all coincidence and not planned.

E-book release, entire series highlighted at Books Love Company, and now an interview.

Fellow author, Joyce DiPastena, was kind enough to interview me and featured it on her blog today.

DEGENERATES

by

N.D. Ostroff

 

Available amazon.com

 

http://www.amazon.com/Degenerates-N-D-Ostroff/dp/1440173028/ref%3Ds...

 

 

 

I was raised in the Chicago area in the 1950s when Riverview Amusement Park was in full swing. They had a roller coaster called The Bobbs that was made of wood. It shook as if I were sitting on an erupting volcano. At one point it headed straight for a 12x12 solid beam, which I was sure would decapitate me. Just before my head was to leave my body, the car dropped like a lead cannon ball, leaving my stomach to confront the beam. As I read Ostroff's novel Degenerates, I was back on The Bobbs headed into the beam. Whatta ride!

 

In the Prologue little Tommy Fielding watches his father blow his mother away with a shotgun, and then is forced to watch his father kill himself with the same shotgun. At that point I knew that Tommy was not going to grow up to be a choirboy and that the rest of the pages would be bloody.

 

Chapter one, twenty years later, Tommy, encouraged by Jeffery who is a huge Great Dane residing in the boy's mind, kills and savagely mutilates two women because Jeffery convinces him that killing makes him stronger, makes him God and eventually he will have the power to bring Mommy back to him. Thus, Ostroff had me by the throat and I could not get away.

 

Tommy is the key degenerate in the story who is an infamous serial killer terrorizing Philadelphia. Ostroff skilfully leads his characters to the City Cafe where the horrifying culmination takes place. Along the way we meet the other degenerates.

 

There is Astor, an astoundingly beautiful young woman who escapes a brutal marriage to a young medical student, Darrel, but carries with her grief from the death of their child, which he seems glad to have lost.  Ironically, Astor was Tommy's first girlfriend, and she is still in love with him.

 

Emily comes from a home where her mother is a fanatic Christian who drives the girl away. She turns to cocaine for which she will do literally anything to get. Only seventeen when she leaves home, Emily is a true tragic figure whom Ostroff draws beautifully.

 

All of his characters are drawn with skill. Ed Kirkpatrick, a writer who crawled inside a bottle of booze years before we meet him, winds up cooking short order at City Cafe. Astor and Emily find their way to the restaurant to wait tables, and Tommy is hired as dishwasher.

 

At the restaurant we meet Judy Forester, a sixty-year-old woman who bosses the front of the cafe and who remains grief stricken over her husband's death twenty years before.

 

Matt runs the kitchen. He seems to be a combination of compassion and skill whose expertise is vital to the success of City Cafe.

 

Into the mix comes Aaron, a young policeman who is working his first CSI case and learns that experienced officers around him are worth listening to.

 

Degenerates is a very worthwhile read. Ostroff's prose is crisp and clear; there isn't a boring page in the book. I will warn anyone who finds violence repugnant to pass this one by. But any writer who wants to experience great prose and well-sculpted characters should make Degenerates a must read.
