Here I Come

Guess it's Norway and then Brussels. Thanks for the interest. 

Said and Done

Remember when voter apathy was an issue? I've been running around the Northwest and can report it's a done deal. Everyone has an opinion.

Judges Comments on 'The Passionate Jihadist'

There are a lot of really engrossing, full details that drive the story along. The opening vignette about Yushua and the rooster is indicative of this, and the way that bird imagery is interwoven throughout the narrative makes for a great unifying technique. Even metaphorical language is utilized effectively and visually: "The shame settled on him and lingered like mulberry stains on his fingertips" (6).

 Talk about a great community to win an award in. Hung out with readers, authors and professions. Ran out of books which is a good thing. Let me know if you want a copy of my stories. Stunned & Seething includes The Last Gargoyle which has been a favorite of readers. The ending surprises everyone I've heard back from. Thanks for the interest.

 A big plus in this book writing / book selling racket is getting to hang-out with Cork O'Conner's creator. Boundary Waters is a great read. Do you want to know a secret? Bill told me he came about Cork's name because no matter how rough it gets, Cork keeps popping back up. We are both writers who are focused on crime, criminals and the dark side of things. 

Never a Child

Ho could anyone not enjoy this story about war from a child's perspective? 

Anything for Readers

Hello,

I’m a contributor on Medium, where I curate book recommendations for an engaged community of readers. I’m currently seeking new titles to feature in upcoming editorial pieces.

My approach highlights storytelling and the overall reader experience rather than traditional reviews. If you have a book you’d like considered, feel free to share the details or a press kit.

Best regards,

Yahoo Removes Me Again

 

We removed a comment from you on the article titled Kim Jong Un said North Korean troops chose 'self-detonation' to avoid capture by Ukraine.

The comment goes against our community guidelines. This means it’s not being shown to anyone but you. All of this, because of this . . . Their brain was dead long before the rest of their body. This is no way to be proud. Life should be honored. Kim must want his troops to do as he says and not has he does. Appears he's alive and well though he could lose a few pounds, in a land that has folks going without.

Say What?

Less pain and suffering in this world we call home please.
