Two green thumbs up



Dan Delion’s Secret from The Greenhouse Kids Adventures by Shelley Awad takes the reader on a delightful quantum leap back to the days when a child’s imagination branched out like ivy. Awad’s writing skills capture the attention of children and adults alike in this first mysterious adventure. Two green thumbs up Shelly !

I HEAR VOICES

I wrote a column in my local newspaper about a former English teacher who passed away. The article generated emails from other former students with their own stories to share. But one reader, a woman in my graduating class (1969), wrote to tell me that she not only enjoyed the article, but liked my writing enough to buy my mystery novel, FOOLS RUSH IN.

Compliment accepted (as well as the check).

What this reader responded to is something all writers are told to strive for in their writing. Elu… Continue

I Will Stand Alone

In the end I will stand alone
in an ocean of past experience
it will seem unending and require perseverance
revealing my silver dreams and wanton wishes
my unfulfilled schemes, imagined delicious

In the end I will stand alone
my wanton spirit will create a world
where my memories will begin to swirl
and all of the things that bring me love
will be captured by the moon above

In the end I will stand alone
the light that guided me through this life
will house the memories of my wife
the windblown… Continue

So Dreams The Dreamer

So dreams the dreamer of love and light,
of a hazy world bereft of night,
of soothing music, reciprocate peace,
a world away, a tension release.

real life cataclysmic events,
no hopeful fantasy prevents.
dreams marginalize psycho-trauma,
and denigrate effects of drama.

serenity alleviates pain,
while myopic alternatives contain.
we accost our wanton fears,
and risk awakening tears.

we hesitate to leave our dreams,
that cloudy world of silver moonbeams.
imperceptive of hidden meaning

A Review of The Constellation of Omens by Author, Darin Williams

My humble gratitude for this phenomonal review!


Ms. Simpson's book 'The Constellation of Omens' offers a brilliantly clear view of how we came to understand and oftentimes miss-interpret where we came from and where we are going. Her accounts are presented to us through genuine clairvoyance, and not shaded by opinion and personal interpretation. This book is a must read for anyone who has a true desire to understand omens of our past and future. Ms. Simpson's abilities are remarkable and inspi… Continue

Lessons learned in a life - Pain

Pain.

You can see it etched upon the grim countenances of runners, Iron-man athletes and the like. They have pushed their bodies beyond all reason, beyond all limits and it shows upon their faces as exhausted exuberance and excruciating pain as they collapse at the finish line in battered heaps.

Those who have never felt it, never hit that wall and blown clear through it will never understand the desire to push yourself that hard. It changes you forever, changes your understanding of impossibl… Continue

Please Add Reviews

Any reviews you do for an author please post them here on this site. If you will post them under the Discussion page. The reason is simply we want to generate interest in the books. So if someone reads the review they can comment on it and then another person can add to it. That way all will be able to not only see the reviews they can be part of them as well.
Once again we are all thinking outside of the box - feel free to post banners or anything else here too.
And please invite your friends and family to join us here. This is a great resource for readers to find new authors who they have never read before.
Martha had an excellent idea. It is called "Buy/Review Swap" the way this works is if you find a book that you think you might like to read and review contact that author. See if they will buy your book and you will buy theirs, then each of you read the book and post the reviews here. Then we start the dialogue as we are doing now. The reviews can and should also be posted on Amazon and other reviews site.
