Or the odd, out of place sound of someone sweeping a wooden floor as I crossed the parking lot at work in the pre-dawn hours. There was no one else there, yet the sound was both prominent and distinct enough that I could swear someone was sweeping the empty porch of the building behind me. However, I have yet to write about the three bright lights in the sky that followed my sister and I for seventy-five miles across the remote Nevada desert one night in the summer of 1977. There was no rational explanation for their movements or their being there. Why did they rise straight off the desert floor beside the highway we were on? Why did they keep pace with our car? Why did they stop when we stopped? Why was there absolutely no sound? Why did they rise higher and higher into the sky as daylight began to dawn, until all the stars disappeared and way up high in the sky, only their light was left to be seen? Several months after this occurred, I discovered that we were not the only ones to experience such a phenomenon in the vicinity of the Black Rock Desert. (Which, by the way, is nowhere near Area 51.)(less)

But in all truthfulness, since I favor writing first thing in the morning when I get that opportunity, I'd have to say my favorite outfit is my pajamas. I'd stay in them all day if I could! (less)

The Art of Giving and Receiving Constructive Criticism

In the world of writing, constructive criticism can be an author's best friend. It allows the writer to see her work through the eyes of the reader and to help locate trouble spots the writer might not be able to see due to her intimate knowledge and closeness to her own work. Trouble spots such as plot holes, disappearing characters, description problems, clumsy dialogue, unwieldy wordage, etc., Read more of this blog post »

“It seems love is the root of all pain and most of its fruit only leaves a bitter taste behind.”
L.F. Falconer

“The air was dank and stale. A high breeze danced among the treetops and caused the leaves to chuckle and the branches to groan but did not descend to the forest floor. The air near the woodland base was thick with musky, motionless silence, save for the laughter of the leaves and the whispered moans of the trees. Andre dozed fitfully, a vague insistent terror gripping the edge of his soul. His”
