Not until she’d left the bookstore and was deep into the parking lot dId Natalie realize the hand she was holding was not her father’s. She opened her mouth to scream just as the van screeched to a halt next to her, opened its hinged jaws, and swallowed her in one bite. (less)

I won the second book to The Dream Diaries Sequel in a giveaway, and I must say thank you. Also, I love your style of writing. Are you currently planning/working on another book?

You are very welcome. I’m so happy you enjoyed the book. I do eventually plan on writing a sequel to the Evelyn Hernandez series (After all, she’s only half way through her junior year of high school), but in the meantime I’ve actually been working on a graphic novel. The protagonist is a young lady named Red Literal, a little like Evelyn in some ways, but with a sword. The story takes place in a near future where technology has turned against us and books are too dangerous to possess…kind of a Walking Dead meets Fahrenheit 451. I finished writing the first episode and now it’s in the hands of the artist, Theresa Ysiano (my sister), whom I’ve partnered with. Not sure when it will be ready, but it’s coming along nicely. Now I need a new project…maybe it is time to see what Evelyn is up to…(less)

Who is Matthew Van Der Boot?
Well, first of all, he’s not me. I swear. That may not have been your assumption, but the question is bound to come up, so I’ll just get that out of the way right now.
Matthew is a fictional character in something I’m writing called The Misadventures of—yes, you guessed it—Matthew Van Der Boot. The story takes place in a single day: Friday, October 7, 1983. That’s it Read more of this blog post »

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
