  Tony Bennett said it best in his song I Left My Heart in San Francisco.      The idea was a whirlwind of emotional excitement while I stood high on a hill.

My shameful interview about writing, click here.  Here is a sample: What did you first read? How did you begin to write? Who were the first to read what you wrote? The first book I ever finished reading was "To A God Unknown", a kick-ass, paranoid menu by John Steinbeck. I began writing...

Whether I should or should not kill the wife & husband was a brain freeze decision to make. Zimmerman made the offer...if I'd murder his in-laws, he would inherit three exquisite hotels and six lavish restaurants in Europe. For my services I'd be set financially for life.     Could I kill them...

Next: Turn invisible at will. 10 Tips on both: Okay, as I mention a little too often, I used to be a writing coach.

I am  going to  give it my best shot to complete a story that I have been carrying around with me for many years.  When I received the email about NaNoWriMo 2008, I was inspired.  Thank you Ivory Madison for the nudge in the right direction. Organizing my desk to get started on November 1.

  An ode to someone I really don't even know: Every so-often, I come across a book so different and so refreshing, that I'm taken aback by everything it has to offer. And this particular series, The Huntress: Year One, a six-issue comic book miniseries, published by DC Comics, featuring writer...

Okay first off I liked this issue. It had some great moments with Helena's first getting her costume, swiping her priest/foster brother's purple sash (every girls got to have some accessories even if she doesn't do dresses), and some great action. I do think this issue had less story in it then the...
