Wanting It Enough
I’d been planning time away—Monday-Friday + weekend bookends—nine whole days that would feel like a real vacation.

What I got, because of extended work exigencies that made it impossible to step away fo

There could not have been a better time to read Big Magic than in the fraught and anxious, giddy and surreal days before launching my first novel. Gilbert's words soothed and grounded me, took me out of the uncomfortable, jangly headspace of self-pro

"This is a new series with a funny lethal “gatekeeper” who happens to Jack Reacher the bad guys. Lots of action, humor, and killings. I’ll definitely read the next story. "

Robert Blumenthal's review
of
The Book of Evidence (The Freddie Montgomery Trilogy, #1):
"This short novel has been compared to Crime and Punishment, though it is much different from that weighty tome. It is the writings of an Irish middle-aged man awaiting trial for the cold-blooded killing of a 16-year-old girl. He had no prior crimes t"

Hi Julie, Many thanks for accepting my friend request. I'm sorry I didn't include a mail with my request but I did it on my phone and am too obtuse to navigate how to write a letter on there. Loved your review of THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH and your concept of "Monster Classic." I used to compel myself to read at least one "Monster Classic" per year but was defeated by TALE OF GENJI. Am about to embark on 3rd Reich.
