Houses Without Doors A Review
I know Peter Straub has co-authored with Stephen King, so when I found “Houses Without Doors” by Peter Straub at the book exchange, I thought, “Why not?” And now I wished I hadn’t. “Houses Without Doors” is a collection of thirteen short stories, two of which I found quite disturbing. None of the stories had …
Update to Reading!
I have been in a funk lately. Can’t seem to write. Can’t seem to get any blog posts done. Haven’t been keeping up with Twitter. And I barely post on Facebook. And I can hear people saying, “Oh, you sound like you’re depressed.” But I’m not. (I think it’s an aversion to the computer, or …
Reading!
I have read three novels, starting on Christmas day and finishing on new year’s day. A total of 1,111 pages! (I like that number) If I had made any resolutions, one would have been, pace yourself. 🙂 I’d like to attempt reading one novel a week to get caught up, but…We will see how that works …
How-To Writer’s Books
There are many “How to Write” books out there and quite a few people that I’ve talked to recommend Stephen King’s “Stephen King on Writing” I enjoyed the book, but felt it was more of a memoir than a writer’s self help book. One of my favorites is, “How to Write and Self- Publish Your …

Review of “Under The Dome” by Stephen King
I finished reading “Under The Dome” by Stephen King yesterday, and though I don’t normally do reviews on his novels, I’ll give you a quick one. I mean, come on, if you are a die hard Stephen King fan like I am, it doesn’t matter what kind of reviews he gets, you are going to …
Take a Chance On Me!
A couple of weeks ago my niece posted on her blog about character personalities and where do you come up with them, so this morning I was making copies of personality traits I had found on the internet for her. Personally, I don’t have that problem. I get ideas from TV, the internet, music, and …
Judging a Book By Its Cover Summing it Up
Before I sum up my thoughts on “Judging a Book by its Cover” I have one last minute cover to share. “Take A Stand” written by Nancy Bandusky. I came up with it because the hero has to decide to take a stand when Christianity is outlawed. My husband, Brent, designed the cover. I wanted …
