Did you just hear a loud bang? I’d better check it out. A petite woman looks across the rows of beige cubicles to a window and her mouth drops open in shock.

The computer … Continue reading Your Free Book and a Fantastic Take Over

The author, a small woman named Melinda, blinks at the screen and yawns. She’ll just rest her tired eyes for a moment. A purple spark dances in the air. It blossoms into a vertical slash and widens. Beyond its expanding aperture, a hundred faces peer. They lean close, each jockeying for a chance to … Continue reading Thank you + Your FREE Preview

The holiday glow is gone now. All the decorations are boxed up until next year, and my thoughts turn to the empty chair at my table. The days fly by in a bitter, cold swirl of high-stress meetings where nothing’s decided, too many cups of tea, impossible deadlines and long walks by flashlight down icy streets. Gravel crunches under my boots, reminding me I’m alone. The wind whispers her last request, driving me indoors. My laptop screen flickers a morse code message from beyond the grave. And there’s not enough dark chocolate in the world to soothe the pain of my … Continue reading A question + Free Books = A Personal Account

Today my Gentle Readers, I have a fantasy author for you to meet. David Pauly has several books available on Amazon for your enjoyment. In the style of my previous interviews, I will put my comments/questions in BLUE and Lyons will be GREEN. Thanks for stopping by, David. Let’s start with a good get to know you question. Since most writers are readers, can you tell my readers what brought you into the world of literature? I learned to read initially due to my mother’s love for reading, which allowed her to ignore… Continue reading Author Interview – David Pauly

Today my Gentle Readers, I want to introduce you to Paul Francois. In the style of my previous interviews, I will put my comments/questions in BLUE and Paul will be GREEN. Seems like all writers are also voracious readers. What got you started in the literary world? Actually, I am a hypocrite. I never enjoyed reading in school, not sure if that was due to the horrible English teachers I endured in high school or not. Unfortunately that followed me beyond my academic years. I even find it difficult to read my own… Continue reading Author Interview – Paul Francois 

Your stars do not define me. Give me one star for effort, two for resolve, three for tireless hours slaving to write what you so casually deride. Award me four stars for melting your heart, five for taking your breath away at the end. Oh wait, you stopped before the best part. Have you no heart? Your stars do not define me. They are a cage you build for yourself, and I leave you to it. Wallow in your self-importance. I’ll be over here, writing beautiful stories you won’t ever know about or read. Your stars do not define me. … Continue reading Your Stars Do Not Define Me
