Happy Endings in Mysteries
I recently rewatched Stranger Than Fiction, which I remembered being more of a depressing drama than a comedy (which in many ways was an accurate remembrance), and was nervous right up to the end because I couldn’t recall if it had a happy ending. It made me consider why I prefer what is generally referred …
Being an Introverted Mom and Writer
I’ll be honest, I don’t read a lot of non-fiction that isn’t about history or has something to do with research for my historical fiction books. I just don’t have the time. But then one of the authors of a mommy blog I follow, Jamie C. Martin, published a book called Introverted Mom. I snapped …
REVIEW: Alias Hook
What if the reason Hook continued to fight Peter Pan was because he physically could not leave Neverland? What if it wasn’t a bloodlust for Peter, or a revenge streak that was worth the deaths of his men, but instead a spell that trapped him in a neverending hellish circle of “games” with a merciless …
Reading: Somewhere in Time
Published in 1975 under the title Bid Time Return, the novel that inspired the 1980 adaptation known as Somewhere in Time caused all subsequent publications to be renamed. I’ve always loved the film, but I’d never read the book. After reading Time and Again by Jack Finney (1970), in which the narrator accomplishes time travel …
REVIEW: The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry
If you don’t like to read, you should give this book a try. If you love to read, you must give this book a try. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry is the story of a life embedded with literature and in itself is a woven literary masterpiece. I paused after reading the first 20 …
Reading: The Clocks by Agatha Christie
I love to re-read Agatha Christie mysteries. There are so many wonderful ones, and if I wait long enough, I sometimes forget exactly how the mystery works itself out. 😉 The reason I made a point of re-reading this particular one, however, was because it is in this book that Agatha Christie gives a decided …
Six Little Truffles
It’s almost here! Christmas is almost here! I absolutely LOVE Christmastime. It’s one of my favorite times of year. Because of this, I won’t be posting between now and the new year. To tide you over in the meantime and to wish you the very best of the year, I’d like to gift you with …
Mary, Did You Know
This is one of my favorite scenes from my short story, “Mary, Did You Know” which shares a mother’s memories of events leading up to and following that one holy night, showing there’s really nothing new under the sun when it comes to motherhood. My story is only the first in Christmas Fiction Off the …
