Lust Of Cupids: I Love It. It’s Just So Darn Cute

A Lust Of Cupids By Laurell K. Hamilton

Okay here’s another odd one. This is a short story written by Laurell K. Hamilton . And this has nothing to do with Anita Blake or Meredith Gentry. This entirely is it’s own thing. It’s called “ A Lust Of Cupids’ and it can be found in the Strange Candy short story collection.

So what is it about? Well its about a thirty year old woman named Rachel Ceridian , who is not married and never planned to get married and…

Midnight Meat Train: Delivers More Than What The Title Might Suggest

The Midnight Meat Train by Clive Barker

Not big fan of horror. And if you read my smoothie reviews, you’re probably sick of hearing say that. But I always like to try new things. After all, I wasn’t a big fan of spy novels until I read of Ludlum’s work that made me rethink my opinion about the genre all together. And when they were cleaning out the library at my college, they were selling old books for a quarter a piece. And I found this thick book called…

Those Who Seek Forgiveness: A Reminder To All Of Us Of How Much We Miss Anita

Those Who Seek Forgiveness by Laurell K. Hamilton

Okay, this is another smoothie review based in an individual story. Why not a whole book? Well tell me how to review a collection of short stores with it having a meaning behind it, and I’ll start. Every story in my opinion whether it’s a novel, novella, or short story if it’s a piece of work and should be seen as such. This one comes from Laurell K. Hamilton short story collection called, Strange Candy. And…

The Right Choice

Life is a precious thing, a gift of God, and when we are young, we think it will go on forever. So we drift through life thinking of all the things we'll do tomorrow. Understanding the temporariness of life is an essential part of making the most of our lives.



We all have choices how we will spend the seconds, the minutes, the hours and the days that make up the years of our lives. So we must choose wisely, taking advantage of the numerous opportunities to testify for Christ in our… Continue

Writing in the Moment…

I recently discovered a new term “mindfulness” in my everyday life.  It basically means what it implies.  On one level it means paying attention to details of what’s going on around you at any given time, but on a much deeper level it brings your conscious awareness to a “moment-by-moment” basis. …

Dream Away

Dream Away

By Cathy Hodgson



Who is to hear my song

I may think deep and long

I may sing a vacant tune

Something of impending doom



Who will listen a sparrow away

Who will give me light of day

Will someone stop sojourn awhile

Light my face with a smile



A crowd in the room, still all alone

Mind off to wonder often to roam

Travel I must to this fantasy land

Dancing footprints across the sand



Who will see… Continue

I Walk

I Walk

By Cathy Hodgson



I try to deny this feeling inside

I would prefer it to walk away

It tags along like a kitten gave milk

Meowing with melancholy sad eyes



It tares my being, strips my good sense

Persuades like that hidden chocolate

Like the tree in the garden it radiates

Come, have of this fruit it will be good



I walk, my head is turned

Like the wife of Saul

I feel I am a pillow of salt piled high

Dust in… Continue

Touch me in the morning

Touch me in the morning

Touch me when I close my eyes

Bring to me your presence

As through my life I walk



Dance with me In gladness

Cry with me in pain

Be by my side in sorrow

All through my life you reign



Sing for me exalted

Above the valley low

Look down to this mere mortal

Bless me as I go



I'll praise you on the mountain

Because I love you so

No matter what's in tomorrow

Onward together we'll… Continue

THE SECOND COMING OF HUMANITY

The Second Coming of Humanity is Book III of the WAKING GOD TRILOGY; Book I is titled The Journey Begins and Book II, The Sacred Rota. The series has been called “epic in scope,” and New York Times bestselling author Piers Anthony says, “It will make you think.” Focusing on ‘worn out religious dogma’ as one of the leading causes of human strife, the Trilogy turns the mythical world of good vs. evil on its head. Mantrella, a.k.a. Lucifer, is the champion of humanity, while the Archangel Michael… Continue

Break Out of Writer’s Block or Stubborn Procrastination

We’ve all been there.  I’ve never really experienced writer’s block, but procrastination isn’t far away for me on some of my writing days.  At times, it’s difficult to stay focused on my story because my mind wanders to other things or I’m distracted because it’s beautiful outside.  Then I seem to be preoccupied on what I’m NOT doing instead of what I want to…

Help! My Husband & His Friends are talking to many "Literary Liberties" with my Person.

I had to push my husband, Mr.Gelati, away from the laptop for a bit and speak up here. He, and his buddies Vincent Zandri (I always thought you liked me Vince, you seemed so nice), Big Daddy Abel, Thomas White, Benjamin Sobieck and now Thad Brown, some of whom have gone to great lengths to do various things to me in their little stories are up to their antics again.  For those that have yet to read one of these “The Author’s Lab/Collaborations”, they are funny but at whose expense? At times…
