Well, I guess JusThis was spot on. Sometimes the boogieman dresses up like a policeman. We tell out kids to respect authority. We can never let our guard down. Never. Miss you Teresa.

Another One Bits the Dust

Who knows why, but once again my thoughts and/or comment has been removed from the Yahoo Board. I'm thinking it had something to do with Russian feelings. Wouldn't want to hurt Vlad's feelings now would we?

Ireland

 This guy was hanging out in the countryside of Ireland and we jammed. I was in the moment and listened to his advice. Yes the world is in need of flutes.

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).

San Francisco

 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.   

William Kent Krueger

 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?
