The ones that took many rounds of rewriting?Ī lot of the dialogues are that way. Some scenes take several rounds re-reading, revising and refining until I find that it really ‘works’ the way I want it to. I only know if I got it right when I re-read the scene a few days later. Sometimes I have a good idea, but translating it into words that will produce the correct picture in the readers mind is sometimes very hard. I need to be able to concentrate and really imagine the scene I am writing about. What is most important to you when you write? So, in the case of my own books, I decided to just skip the descriptions. The description the author delivers in the book usually is in total contrast to what I imagine and it annoys me. When I read a book, I usually have a certain picture in my head of what the protagonists look like right away. You do not describe the characters in very much detail. You just released the third part of the CAN YOU MEND IT? series. Where do you get the inspiration for your books?įrom everyday life… (my own and other people’s.) ![]() ![]() They seriously thought - or at least millions of them did, millions of otherwise reasonable citizens - that a Red revolution might begin in the United States the next month or next week, and they were less concerned with making the world safe for democracy than with making America safe for themselves. They had their ears cocked for the detonation of bombs and the tramp of Bolshevist armies. They were listening to ugly rumours of a huge radical conspiracy against the government and institutions of the United States. If the American people turned a deaf ear to Woodrow Wilson's plea for the League of Nations during the early years of the Post-war decade, it was not simply because they were too weary of foreign entanglements and noble efforts to heed him. ▲ Main Article ▲ Primary Sources (1) Frederick Lewis Allen, Only Yesterday (1931) ![]() ![]() ![]() “Believe me, if I could have talked Trey out of this, I would’ve, but I respect Trey and I follow his orders.” ![]() “Maybe you should’ve thought of that before you kidnapped me, huh?” “I’m not convinced your dad will give us an alliance, which means we’ll have brought all this trouble on ourselves and not even get what the pack needs out of this mating.” “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you resented me being comfortable.” Taryn looked at the doorway to see Tao there, scowling. Still, she’d rather be depressed wearing Prada than dirty rags. She wasn’t a materialistic person, never had been, and she totally agreed that money didn’t bring you happiness. Suddenly she felt like one of the Borrowers. It was so big and bulky that not only did her ass sink into it, but her feet didn’t even touch the floor. One end was a gorgeous chaise lounge while the other end had a recliner. The black leather was clearly top quality and it could comfortably seat at least eighteen people. There had been a sectional sofa in her pack house too, but it wasn’t anything like this. Is it a bed? Is it a sofa? The freaking thing looked more like a giant cushion. The audio-visual system was state of the art, the decorative swirly carvings on the main wall were amazing, the many armchairs all looked comfy enough to sleep on, but it was the item in the center of the living area that had her attention. She was nothing short of awed and had found something to gasp at in each and every room. ![]() ![]() ![]() Is the corpse a vampire? The Colorado ghost town where horror novelist Larry Durban, his neighbor Pete, and their wives find the body is eerie enough, but none of the four believes in vampires-although whoever killed the woman must have thought her a monster, and wouldn't all this make a nifty nonfiction book?

McGhee had worried that The Sum of Us, coming after the death of George Floyd and the country’s reckoning with race, was being published too late. McGhee uses the book to explain that racism actually costs all Americans, by allowing wealthy conservatives to take away resources from all of us. “The logical extension of the zero-sum story is that a future without racism is something white people should fear, because there will be nothing good for them in it,” she writes. The book argues that Americans have been fed a “zero-sum story” that says progress for people of color will take away what white Americans already have. McGhee’s first book, The Sum of Us, was about to hit shelves in February, and she’d shared copies of it with some Biden advisers. ![]() But, he continued, “When any one of us is held down, we’re all held back.” “We’ve bought the view that America is a zero-sum game in many cases: ‘If you succeed, I fail,'” Biden said. As she bustled around the kitchen, Biden recited a line that seemed so familiar that she nearly dropped her wineglass. ![]() Heather McGhee was cooking dinner in her Brooklyn apartment in January as she opened a YouTube link to watch Joe Biden deliver his first speech on race as the President. ![]() ![]() ![]() Girra Girra is another Aboriginal-owned operator who can lead you in the footsteps of the Central Coast’s First Nations people, guiding visitors to staggering cultural sites and offering an unforgettable camp-out option for groups.

The strongest are "Night of the Wendigo," "Witch-Compass," "Resonant Evil," and "Beholder" together, these four stories address all of the main varieties of "horror," including supernatural threat, science gone terribly wrong, and the evils that human beings can visit on themselves and others. ![]() Overall, Figures of Fear is a strong collection, but it is very uneven. I have read several of Graham Masterton's novels, but this is the first time I have encountered his short stories. ![]() |
