Dusk and Summer by Joseph A. Pinto Available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle formats. The first time I read this book, it held me captive, curled beneath my comforter until it was done with me. Recently, it was released under a new publisher and with a new cover. Dusk and Summer kept me prisoner for … Continue reading Book Review: Dusk and Summer

The End of….
The end of summer is rapidly approaching and I am worn out. Summer isn't really a restful time for me, like many teachers I try and squeeze too much into the school free days. There is really never enough time to do everything. Over planning and underfunded mean that most of my school free days … Continue reading The End of….
Solutions
There are always people who will make it work and those who will make excuses. A witless quote loving person might say in order to inspire others.

Writing Blood Child

Since my process is so organic it is difficult for me to just take a topic … Continue reading Writing Blood Child

Working Away
The challenges of finishing Blood Child, a horror novella, have been adding up over the last week as my writing sessions have become less and less productive.

Never Too Old For A Storybook or Three..
Last week's unstated theme was obsession and addiction. My worst addiction is a life long one. My addiction to the written word began when I was an infant. My family read to me, my teachers encouraged me and in books I found the friends I was unable to make in real life. And it all … Continue reading Never Too Old For A Storybook or Three..
