Well, I’m over 30, fat, flabby and crippled. Yep! I said CRIPPLED! Please understand I hate political correctness and, while I will always do my best to be polite and respectful I will NOT use political correctness because I think it does more harm to the world of communication than it does GOOD to anything. It hinders. It does not help.

I am also the author of two self-published titles. My third book is being published by PublishAmerica. It will be called IN THE BREATH OF GOD. My fourth book is in the works and should be ready for publication early in 2006.

I blog alot on MYSPACE.com. I have a website and message board on which I also write short articles, ramblings, rants, raves and reviews. I tend to be very opinionated and pa…

Novel Treatments / MOURNING REIGN-CHAPTER 3
Version 1
1 Review   0 Comments
CHAPTER 3 FROM THE ASHES The transition from career cop to civilian was not going smoothly for Alex Mendez. Slowly, reluctantly, he’d accepted the fate to which his life had been resigned, but acceptance was not so much a choice as it was merely a decision not to complain that he’d been robbed of his right to choose his own destiny. Some say when God closes one door, He opens another. While Alex still felt as though he was looking for that open door he’d accepted, with a smile, the window of ...

CHAPTER 2 THE TRIGGER Too late, Lisa saw the trigger in the madman’s hand. His thumb nervously pressed against… what? A button? Some kind of switch? A rainbow of wires trailed from the bottom of his hand, up his black sleeve, disappearing into God only knew where. “A bomb!” she screamed, milliseconds before her mind grabbed conscious hold of the thought. “He’s got a bomb!” Bullets were riddling his chest and torso from all sides but the man refused to stay down. No fewer than twenty cops wer...

CHAPTER 1 BROKEN HELL The July heat had settled into East Texas with a vengeance and Longview was no doubt receiving the lion’s share of Mother Nature’s molten fury. Wal-mart Supercenter was, as always, a summer hot spot for bored teenagers paroled from the pursuit of academic excellence. Most were buying chips, ice and sodas for a trip to any of a number of area lakes in Gladewater, Gilmer or the famous Lake O’ The Pines in Ore City. Those who wished for more “grown up” pursuits – sex, drugs...

Short Story / The Squirrel Society
Version 1

The town of Sandy Side was your typical small town. It had its well-manicured lawns and white picket fences. It was a community where everyone knew everyone. The same kids in the same classes each year, growing up to be the best of friends and eventually working at the same places. Yes, some came and went but mostly things stayed the same, year after year. It was one of those lazy July days when all the residents of Sandy Side were either inside, in the cool air conditioning, or at the local ...

Short Story / Blue Tears
Version 1

She was barely a week old the first time something broke inside her. It was unbelievably devastating. So new. So innocent. So unassuming and fragile, despite all appearances to the contrary. The world had thrown this test at her – at both of us – and I would faithfully stand by her side, hoping for the best. From that moment on, a bond was formed. We were virtually inseparable. Almost everywhere I went, there she was. Whenever my friends and I went to a movie, she went with us. Whenever my be...

Children's / Fairy's of the woods
by pinestategal
Mrs. Woods reminds me of my fourth grade teacher. In fact this entire story sounds like one of the crazy yarns she used to spin. Oh how I loved that woman's stories. I will be anxious to read this tale if you continue it. I do not have any suggestions for improvement. My opinion of this article is that it's entertaining as is. I'd merely write more of it to give your fans a deeper look into this great story.

Novel Treatments / *Shadows of War*
by LynnFollett
”It’s alright” when I turn around Lisa was gone. Should say "when I TURNED around..." There are a few grammatical errors, but nothing a couple of good proof reads can't fix. The dialog itself is nice, smooth. Not forced at all. Seems very natural and flows well. You do change tenses here and there. Perhaps in your attempt to change to past tense you didn't quite catch every instance of the former tense. I feel her body move closer towards mine, slowly she leads me over to her bed and begins ...
Novel Treatments / AZURE SEES
by Lisa_M
Let me start off with my one "knock" on this piece (I like to get the bad stuff outta the way.) she says with a southern drawl one would expect from Vivian Leigh’s portrayal of Scarlet O’Hara. You do a lot of this throughout this piece. "she says in a..." Or "she said with a..." X, Y, Z.... Don't word it this way. For me it would work better if you'd simply tell how her tone makes someone feel or explain a person's reaction. "her voice made me feel as though Scarlett O'Hara had manifested b...
Novel Treatments / Future Crime Chpt 2 - Part 1
by BrianA
I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. You do an expert job of weaving description and dialog without losing anything of the overall tension and tone. Some of the names sort of threw me off... Inspector "McFergus" for example. Perhaps that's the point, not to instill respect, but it just sort of distracted me. I didn't grade you down for that, assuming that could have been your point. If so, it was effective. If not, I'd suggest a name change. I would definitely want to read more of this story thou...
