A portion of Chapter Two from my Novel "My Mind's Telling Me No"

A portion of Chapter Two from my Novel "My Mind's Telling Me No"

Below is a portion of chapter two from my novel

Forgoing the last message I decided to go upstairs and climb into the tub to relax. When I walked into my bedroom I immediately flung my heels across the room. Those shoes were making my feet cry out for mercy. I then got undressed and placed my blouse and skirt in the hamper and headed to my master bath to turn on my water.

I began to… Continue

Review of my novella, Bug-Eyed Monsters

I just finished reading, Bug-Eyed Monsters, by Rob Shelsky. It really was like Edmond Hamilton's stories only, I think, it was better. The Bum saved the world, the girl was saved and the BEM's defeated. Very cool...Hope to read more stories by Rob soon. Thanks for the stories. One question: Is Shelsky, Rob's real name? It sort of sounds like a fictitious, 'Skywalker'.

Response from Editor to Reviewer:

"Rob Shelsky does indeed… Continue

The Devil’s Darning Needle -- Excerpt

The Obrero Gang

The ten year olds had grown up on a nameless, carved-out street in Barrio Obrero on the outskirts of San Juan, and throughout the barrio it was well known that when one was sighted the other two would be right behind. It was time to hide the valuables.

Frank was the biggest and fastest, and he could more than hold his own with the older kids. He possessed the… Continue

What Inspired Me to Write My First Novel?

Where did I get the idea for Lucid, my novel about lucid dreaming?

By Katherine Angela Yeboah

Los Angeles…a city of high-rise and palm trees and sunsets that melt you on the inside. I first set foot here in the early 1990s and instantly fell in love with the place. During one of many visits, I was staying in an inn for young travelers. It was a wild place, with fascinating characters coming and going by the vanload and parties that never seemed to end before the dawn… Continue
