I usually add something to the end of "To each their own-- some people even eat coconut. I mean, it's in a thick shell for a REASON." Smile.
If I'm feeling snarky, I might mention there wasn't enough sex and/ or violence in the book. That usually...
If you're bored writing it, then don't write it. Some people like the connection, it's shorter than email, quicker than a phone call, and people can keep tabs on their pals.
I'm on there. Sometimes I screw around with the applications (knowing th...
As a writer trying to launch a series... I am still flogging book #1. I am working on a book that would come before book #1, partly as something to do, practice writing another novel (though I have four trunked from years ago,). The prequel to boo...
Entertainment is important. Novels provide a form of entertainment. This prof may not look highly on it, but damn, some writers sure do make a nicer living writing novels than that professor could in a year of teaching. =)
I think entertainment is necessary. Even more so in bleak times. Nothing passes the time like a good book. I may not write anything earth-shattering or profound, but I like to think that what I write is some good fun.
Though, I do somewhat agree ...
I try to get at least 250 words a day. I shoot for 500 or more, but that doesn't always happen. (I work 4 jobs and usually put in 50-60 hours per week.) I don't set quotas beyond sit down and poke 250-500 (or more) words out of my keyboard. Normal...

Stories and Rumors
There are quite a few stories about Bo Fexler, though you shouldn't believe all you read.
If you don't know her, you should. She's the sort of woman that will bring you to your knees. If you're good, she's do it with her mouth. If your bad, she'll do it with her fists. Or maybe it's the other way around. ;-)
She's good to have on your side. It's kind of like being on the right side of a gun.
She's been skukling around for a while, taking in the scenery. She prefers things dark and quiet. If y… Continue

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

- Claire,
I applaude you in the courage you have to teach alternative school. That takes great character. Get my book Tangled Minds- I think you will relate to it very well.
Also get Stan's Story, A Touch of Love- you will see why I admire your profession. Thank you for being a teacher and for having the courage to go above just teaching.
Humbly-
Yvonne
