Forevermore and Memorial Day

When I created my historical mystery series, I needed a protagonist who was troubled, heroic and vulnerable. As a veteran, I understand that emotion one feels when one is discharged from the military and one has difficulty assimilating back into civilian life. War and the military have codes of honor that do not match-up with the civilian codes. We honor the war dead, but we don’t do much for the war living. All I need to give as evidence are the high suicide rates…

In Which I Review CATCH ME

(This post was originally published at http://eaymar.com/blog/116540.)

Lisa Gardner’s novel has one of the more intriguing premises I’ve come across – a woman’s two best friends are killed, on the same day over the last two years, and she worries that as the same day comes closer this year, her time may be next. CATCH ME plays with the point-of-view to an almost haphazard extent, easily switching from first-person to third-person and…

Scavengers

Along the road he found a blind girl. Four years old, maybe, smoke-blackened in a tattered and dirty blue dress, standing under a stunted oak.



He coaxed the little girl to come with him. She walked by his side, stumbling a little, clinging to the smoke-and-grease stained sleeve of his coat.



Sometimes over the next few days he carried her -- fording streams, for example, or hiking up steep stretches of the mountain roads. He put her on his…

Bad Words

Grammar-Police In my almost forty-seven years I've matured in the ways of language. Somewhat. To hear me speak, maybe your thoughts would differ. Let's agree I've tried to think about language and the words, or rather, their correct usage, before I speak. Do I still say 'gonna' and 'sorta'? Sure, and I also tend to speak faster than some people, namely my students, can comprehend. But I'm working on it and I think…
