Face(book) to Face(book) - excellent coverage!

Haven't been doing too much work on my third novel lately (which features some glam rock) but have been busy spruiking my second one. One of my new Facebook friends has told me he can't put it down (although he did put it down momentarily to type his comment!), so that's made me happy. This FB friend is someone I 'friended' through a group about music that I like. I will accept friend requests from people in this group because I know we have lots in common. Yet I will not accept friend…

Digital short Saturday David DeLee First Impressions

I was lucky enough to discover a few digital short series this week. First Impressions is the Grace deHaviland Bounty Hunter series. I like the fact that I can count on the next read if I enjoy the characters and the

stories. What is the story on the story, well, check it out: ”When you're a

bounty hunter, making snap judgments about people will often save your life.

But what if those first impressions are wrong? When Grace deHaviland chases a

Another independent, local bookstore has the book!

I managed to cross state lines and get another book into an indie bookstore! If you're in Mississippi go and check out Bay Books on Main street. The owner is very accomodating and she has two very cool cats that take up residence inside. Most importantly, you can get a copy of I Wandered from New Orleans right off the shelf! In real live bookstores in New Orleans, Mississippi and Atlanta! It's too bad that poetry is mostly disregarded by people as being too complicated and vague.…

Graphic Novel Friday Midway Monkey Madness Sarah Hines Stephens

Being the deep thinker I am, M3 as it will be referred to the rest of the post, surmise that this graphic novel is for the younger audience, thus completing my trifecta of age groups in graphic novels. M3 has a

January release date, so this little goodie cannot be placed under the tree by

Santa, sorry. Sarah Stephens has others titles though that may be. Let’s get

right to the good stuff!



“When the carnival comes to METROPOLIS,…

Graphic Novel Friday Changing Moon Mathieu Mariolle

Changing Moon is not just French but also a YA graphic Novel at that. I have posted on YA before but not on anything French. Yes, I admit to being that Giovanni Gelati, the one

that put up the Monty Python You Tube video entitled ”Taunting The

French”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs.

Oops there it is again, my bad. Seriously, this is an excellent graphic novel.

I want to give an insight…

A writer's quest for balance

Nonwriters may think the writer's life is dull, with all its reading and writing, but never judge a profession by how it looks. We writers are always chasing ideas and dreams. We're always rushing to capture thoughts into books and articles. We live and breathe by our…

Semmaster's World Of Haiku



Haiku is a minimalist form of poetry. The writer has 17 or fewer syllables through which to convey an experience, usually about nature, weather or way of life. The sequence follows as five-seven-five lines (5-syllables 7-syllables-5-syllables). Semmaster added his own special touch on this ancient Japanese form of prose by placing three of them under one…

WEATHERING THE STORM

Through diligence, sacrifice and pain,

We till and toil in the fields,

While bending our backs to plant the grain,

We proudly watch our gardens yield.



Through obeisance, desire and anticipation,

We make amends to entreat our God,

While providing a sacrifice of the Lord’s creation,

His servants prophesize with a mighty rod.



The God of Abraham, Isaac and the rest,

Made a…

Graphic Novel Friday The Best American Comics 2010 Neil Gaiman

Out of the three posts today on the graphic novels this is the one that I would consider more “grownup”. Looking for diversity in your content? Want to see a variety of writing styles? Looking to see as many

different art forms in graphic novels as possible in one place? Then this is

your graphic novel for all the right reasons. Here is what we have:
