WINNING WRITERS SO-CALLED

I'm writing to warn all of you about Winning Writers.  Publishers of poetry are divided into two groups, snob and money-making.  Winning Writers is in the latter category.  It should be called "Winning Profits."  The editor, Adam Cohen, would not respond to a request about a judgement about a poem.  I didn't say he denied a request.  He simply didn't reply.  The reason is that there's no money in replying to such requests.  Winning Writers, so-called, even calls those who use their services…

Poem: A Psalm for the Prisoner

O Lord, hear my simple cry;

set this weary captive free!

For I’m condemned by my past,

imprisoned by the dungeon of me.



Break the restraints of attachment

that are distressing my soul -

Destroy the chains of my ignorance,

which continue to undermine Your control.



Forcefully storm the stony gates

that shelter the stronghold of my heart.

Let the destructive plague be swept away!

I thirst for Your Presence, as the…

Poem: Beware the Antichrist

Heed this warning: Beware the Antichrist!

We know from Christ’s revelation to Man,

that the ‘End Times’ officially began in 1948

with Israel reclaiming their ancestral land.



Be aware and be not deceived.

For this evil soul shall rise up - from obscurity.

Out from the descendants of Dan

the World will take notice of Satan’s emissary.



Although the Antichrist should be easy to spot,

this individual will be viewed as ‘Heaven sent’;

for his…

Poem: Remembering Pentecost

On that fateful day of Pentecost,

power came down from on high.

For it originated with God’s presence

and His Kingdom, that’s far beyond our sky.



The ascension of Christ had been witnessed,

with Him clearly rising above the clouds;

He was no longer bound by planetary constraint

and the opinionated amazement of the crowd.



Upon the Earth, a violent breeze blew;

it brought forth…

A Meager Author Success Story: Twitter - A Beginning





Here's another first small step in marketing a book:

I’m at the early stages of marketing my book, Training Dana to Selling Success, so my success story is a humble one. I’m also new at social media marketing. I only opened my Twitter account for my book at the beginning of this year. “0” followers is what I kept staring at on my Twitter page for weeks until someone told me, “If you want followers, start to follow others.” So I did. I Googled other…

Cat Medicine - Victorian Style!

Last week I looked at how, in Victorian times, a cat’s reluctance to take medicine might help keep her alive. This week, I look at some of the remedies commonly inflicted on the poor, unsuspecting animals. 

Vomiting.

Now as any cat owner knows, it’s perfectly normal for a cat to vomit from time to time. However if the vomiting became excessive, one Victorian remedy was to:

Self-Published Sunday Matt Murphy The Somebody Obsession

I am glad to be back with this segment of the week. I have always enjoyed Self-Published Sunday. Lately I have been working on a few new things; I will be posting on that a little later in the week. Unfortunately, I had to shelve a few things in order to get that done. I didn’t stop reading; I just had to cut back on my posting a bit. Speaking of something new, I have an interview with Bob Hamer, author of Enemies Among Us, tomorrow, Valentine’s Day @1pm on The GZONE, blogtalk radio. The…

Carnal Weapon - From Innocence to Intrigue

Review by Lauren S. Smith



Peter Hoffmann takes the 50s era from innocence to intrigue and injects it with some steamy sex scenes that you won't be able to get out of your mind. Carnal Weapon is a novel that has it all - including a plot that will keep its readers turning pages and wanting more when they reach "the end."

Hoffmann's new novel will capture your interest from prologue to the final chapter -- and in…

Digital short Saturday Skylyr Symkyns THE NEXUS CHRONICLES/Conception

What is in a name, hmm… I guess a lot of y’s. This is a new short story series that already has two installments released by Trestle Press. The next short story in the series is entitled Reality.

It is hard to buy a Slurpee for that anymore, let alone a…

The author's birthday wishes!

Today is my birthday.  To quote Samantha from 'Sex and the City': 'I'm forty-fucking-five!'.  What would l like for my birthday?  World peace?  Well, that's a no brainer, we all want that.  Maybe I'd like my twenty-six year old body back.  That's not realistic, but I did a work-out at the gym today.  I have a school reunion coming up this year, and like many people I guess, I want to look my best.  I have this fantasy that my old school chums ('chums', hah!  I'm definitely sounding old!)…
