Observable by Silence
#WriterTip Yes, I've never done that before, but time moves in like a high tide and even I have to adapt or get pulled out with the undertow. No, that doesn't make sense. What does? Writers are observers. They do this by keeping the mouth shut and all other senses open. A friend read a … Continue reading Observable by Silence
The View from the Kitchen
The guava trees are in full bud. Not yet flowering, except for the one at the very top of the large bush on the high bank. Soon, though, and at the first sign of an open flower, we'll get our annual visitors. Birds, hundreds of birds, mostly Rainbow Lorikeets, but others come, too. Many, many … Continue reading The View from the Kitchen

Book Review — Herja, Devastation, by Cage Dunn and Frank Prem
There are times the storytellers are the conduit for the person who wants their story told – this is one of those stories. I hope you enjoy it as much as Li did. As I did.

Imagine, if you will, Count Dracula being a person people come to when they want someone obliterated and imagine R.M.Renfield as the ultimate assassin who carries out the contracts, in the fashion ordered by the Count.
