Editing errors

Yes, I am still working out the editing errors. Basically, the third draft was published unedited (although and editor WAS paid and failed to do their job). I am aware of some editing errors and grammatical mistakes. The edited version should be uploaded soon.

In the meantime, enjoy the review from Fox News Guam:

Gallivanting on Guam is a narrative of the corruption, madness and lust that came more Read more of this blog post »

5-Stars for creativity. I don't enjoy the horror genre, but this story reminded me of the Tom Cruise movie Collateral. The plot of both this book and the movie Collateral both follow the hollow, transactional nature of the societies that Max the taxi ...more

Claire Keegan composes with an Irish ire, humor, and sensibility to weave words into gold. Like the endings of these brief stories, the writing is blunt.

“If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. ... Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.”

“At night, I open the window
and ask the moon to come
and press its face against mine.
Breathe into me.
Close the language-door
and open the love-window.
The moon won't use the door,
only the window.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, A Year with Rumi: Daily Readings

Brian C. Muraresku
“To put Göbekli Tepe in context, its megaliths predate Stonehenge by at least six thousand years. They predate the first literate civilizations of Egypt, Sumer, India, and Crete by even more. Unearthing this kind of Stone Age sophistication so deep in our past is like finding out your great-grandparents have been secretly coding apps and trading cryptocurrency behind everyone’s back.”
