Review of Finding Claire by Pamela Humphrey
Imagine waking up in the back of a van after being kidnapped with no idea who you are. No memories. No name. Nothing. You have a photo with the name “Claire” on it, perhaps the only clue to who you are — your whole identity. You manage to escape, but you’re more lost than ever. […]

Poetry Tuesday – This Moment
Do not be so quick to wish away this moment, For before you blink, it’s whisked away, forever, Unfolding like all previous moments on life’s vast canvas, Stretched tapestry seeming to move beyond horizons in all directions. Or is the moment folded in upon inside itself, A hidden dimension undetermined and reduced to a singularity, […]

Flash Poetry – Not So Nuts About Nuts

Scorn, judgment, misunderstanding greet, Eyes afraid to meet, Hearts no longer beat, Walking this path alone down a dead-end street. 03/29/15 Like what you’ve read? Please […]

Character Friday – Meet Tristan Blake
My name is Tristan Blake, and I can’t believe I’m writing this down. I may be a writer, but if you really want to know the intimate details of my sad life, I’m afraid you’ll have to look elsewhere. Why? That’s a long story. First, I’ll just say that I’m 35 years old, quite tall, […]

Why I Write What I Write
“Where some might see ugliness, I see beauty, at least the potential of it.” A question many writers and authors get asked is why they write what they write. You have probably also heard it said that you should write what you know. I’ll admit, much of the details of what I write isn’t what […]
