Summary:

Warning!!! Sorry, that doesn't sound sensitive! But, Please, please only read if you like descriptive literary fiction which has a good plot, but does not seek to rush!!!!!!!!!!!! You will not like it otherwise. It saves upset and frustration on my part...and on yours too. It's a story which investigates gender in modern society and political/philosophical ideas concerning capitalism and environmentalism. No judgement is placed, simply an exploration. It's a story about a successful woman.

Summary:

*NOTE* For those of you who have read or glanced at my two short stories--I Went To See My Man and I Our Last Number For Tonight Is.... those are both chapter segments from this story. I Went To See My Man was slightly altered (the character names were changed)....It’s now May 1970. Gianni Fabricante, a talented, young hippie musician, and Jimi Hendrix worshipper, is leaving for Europe (France) with his two best friends Jean de Villepan and Brent Alexis to form a rock n’ roll band and pursue pop music stardom. The problem? Gianni is the only one of the three who has any band experience, or knows what it takes to really rock n’ roll. Yet, Gianni is convinced he can rehearse his two hippie pals, Brent on second guitar, Jean on bass, into being a swinging rhythm section, backing his flashy performance style. This story swings to the rhythms of 60's rock and pop music, and the freedom flow of those people labeled as "hippies" and their nomadic search for life's truths and meaning that took place not only in America, but in Europe as well. Please feel free to review this story in the way you see fit, and all ideas and criticism will be greatly appreciated!

Summary:

Sheila’s looks, smarts, and privileged background have put her in a plum position at 32 with a career, a wide circle of friends, and a well-stamped passport. But when her ex-boyfriend replaces her with a woman he meets on myspace, Sheila changes into an obsessed being. She cyber-spies and physically stalks the new couple. Out of everyone’s control including her own, Sheila’s destructiveness is brought to an end only with the click of handcuffs. From prison, she must contend with her family’s anger and the realization her ex-boyfriend will not admit his role. With surprising humor and unexpected allegiances, Sheila finds her way out of the circumstances in which her obsession has placed her. It’s a surprisingly relatable tale about the painful correction of one’s perception of themselves, love, and freedom.

Summary:

A writer I respect has been trying his hand at describing the importance of a kiss. I recently got feedback about an older piece published here on the same topic. I thought I would try my hand again. I am not a poet, as the chunky paragraphs will show, but I always get lumped in with the poet class wherever I settle. It's prose but there's no plot. Make of it what you will. All criticism is aimably accepted.

I have edited this piece to include some helpful comments from reviewers. This is solely my opinion. I do not pretend to be an expert in religions.

Assuming one accepts God exists, then there can only be one.

Chapters:

Summary:

This suicide poem of a Samurai is an attempt to underscore the cultural differences between western culture and eastern culture. The west is largely Christian. In Japan Christians amount to less than 3%. The culture is largely agnostic--Buddhism and Shintoism are the primary 'religions' although they are more philosophies than religions.//Imagine not believing in a supreme being and contemplating the end of your life as an absolute ending, by your own hand?//This poem is the creation of the author's imagination and is not at all authentic. I'm not Japanese but I've lived in Japan for nineteen years over a thirty five year period from the mid fifties to the late eighties. I graduated from a Japanese grade school in 1964.//The Japanese have a deep sense of honor. They are particularly sensitive to anything that reflects negatively on themselves, their family or their company. Most suicides in Japan are over issues of honor.//Personally, I'll never forget receiving a hand delivered wedding invitation on Monday, only to have it have it retrieved the following Monday, because the father of the bride opposed the marriage, and executed his wife, son and daughter with a Samurai sword, and then took his own life. The groom was the President of a large Japanese distribution company.//This poem, and many other cultural differences and nuances, are what inspired me to write the novel Corporate Samurai.

Summary:

"Those who deny such history are doomed to repeat it...." A drama based on a true story and set in 1920's South Carolina over the course of thirty hours--GONE DEAD TRAIN is the story of a poor sharecropper Mose Kettering, his wife Anna Mae, and their seven children. When Mose, along with his wife, commence to rise at the crack of dawn to go about their daily chores of working the land of plantation owner Sam Payton and caring for their youngsters, little does the couple know what terrible fate lies in store for them and their young family. Just hours later, when Mose's nine-year-old son Hank heads for the town of Cartersville to carry-out an errand for his father, he is confronted and abused by, none other than, Ross Maddox self-appointed head of the area's White Citizen's Posse. Soon afterwards, Maddox pays Mose a visit and threatens the Kettering youngster with "Jim Crow" style punishment. Being the loving, protective father that he is, Mose refuses to bow down to any thug posing a danger to members of his family. An argument ensues. Accusing Mose of committing the worst possibly insult to a "southern white man"--Maddox tells Kettering that he and his kinfolk are living their last breathing hours. Yet, Mose Kettering stands defiant. He'll defend his family until his heart's final palpitation. However, there is one white man in all of Aiken County who'll come to Mose's rescue. Clay Payton, son of Sam Payton, confronts a Cartersville lynch mob baying for Mose's blood--but will it be enough to save Mose and his young family from the torch of racial hatred? A story that starts out on a peaceful summer morning and afternoon only to evolve into a full-blown, page turning thriller, Gone Dead Train is a tale full of human warmth and love--a realistic depiction of life in the Deep South United States of the 1920's. And I must say, the reviews it has received have been top-notch! For the dialogue of this story I use a light version of the period's dialect from this region of the U.S. for authenticity's sake. Please feel free to criticise this tale as you see fit, I only ask that, in the end, you analyse and comment from a writer's perspective with respect and dignity.

Summary:

I said I'd take a break and just review, but I couldn't help it. I was experimenting, playing around with this form. It's that common rut that a person in love (lust?) falls into-- everyone but you can see what a loser your lover is, and can't figure why you don't leave the jerk already. A little addiction, perhaps? I was having a conversation with a friend who was telling me about his latest crush, and I just got to thinking about all the people, and all the relationship woes of unevenly matched pairs. **26 Aug 08:I'm fiercely holding on to the repetitions, because I believe they are essential to the slightly crazed, deeply addicted feel. What I missed though, in the original version, was the breaks between the stanzas. Pehaps this may alleviate (some of) that rushing, confusing, dizzying look of the poem. If not, then it's not meant to be a pantoum-- I'll pare it down.

Chapters:

Summary:

This work is from the novel, Corporate Samurai "love begets hate, trust begets betrayal, lust leads to death". It attempts to convey the emotions and thoughts, in song form, of a woman Samurai to the one true love of her life--who is also a Samurai. This song is written at a time when she suspects their relationship will not be sustainable, as her lover comes from a much inferior heritage than her own--something her family will not accept.

Chapters:

Summary:

This is a completed story. A Gypsy Among Gypsies is the story of my nomadic adolescence, living by my wits in the age of sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll. While American youth were growing their hair, experimenting with psychotropic drugs and protesting the Vietnam War, I was running for my life to Alaska, hoping to outdistance my troubled past and vanquish the demons in my head. I knew my past was dark, but I did not know it all. The storyline is a progressive quest for adventure, self-discovery, and enlightenment with more twists and turns than a Texas sidewinder: from a six-month cruise in the Caribbean to a county jail in California; from a cabin in the Sierra Nevada to a remote river camp in the Trinity Mountains; from the Aleutian Islands to Hawaii. Wrapped in a riddle with psychological and paranormal overtones, the story embodies the adolescent spirit of romance, rebellion and idealism, and celebrates the contention that given even less than half a chance, life not only endures...it prevails.

This work is an attempt to explore the emotions and questions that arise from human tragedy. It raises the questions, but not the answers. While the questions raised are specific to a situation, similar questions are eventually asked by all. //God is defined in the broadest sense--and I hope it causes thoughtful introspection only. There is also a bit of "Eastern Philosophy" in this, as we are all affected by our experiences--and I spent 19 years in Japan and four of my seven children were born there.// A thought to consider; mustn't God loves us all?(regardless of our specific religion, or lack thereof). This is the first in a the first in a series of poems designed to provoke thought.

What she doesn't expect is the third guy entering the picture: a sarcastic fellow traveler who discovers her secret and becomes her unlikely confidante. Meanwhile her best friend scares herself witless ghost-hunting in Edinburgh's medieval streets, and Eva's boyfriend gets it into his head to come visit without advance warning. It will be a miracle if Eva can leave Scotland with all her relationships, and her sanity, intact.

Summary:

Revised: All the chapters have been revised. The novel is posted in its entirety so you may read at your leisure. There has been some shuffling so the previous reviews may not always match up with the chapter that it is attached to (likewise with the chapter number in the text). I have eleminated the prologue up front, reduced/deleted substantial segments and excess wordage throughout, and simplified speaker modifiers throughout. I have tried to cull a lot of the "was" without diluting the voice of the narrator (Does it work?). I hope this final go through will make it ready to publish, so any comments whatsoever will be appreciated - punctuation, character, dialgoue, flow, ANYTHING you think would improve the readability. This novel is set within an orphanage in North Carolina during the mid fifties and sixties. Though it is basically true, the characters are composite and the time lines may be occasionally altered with some literary license thrown into the mix - so, I have changed the genre from memoir to commercial fiction this time around to perhaps attract more reviewers. Opinions? Thanks for your help and advice.

I made some changes, made the voice a little more consistent (I think) and I added in a few different phrases that may be more metaphorical, and I'm curious if they work. Also, I changed the ending a bit, and I'm also interested in seeing if that works too. So yeah, any more feedback is great.

This is my first attempt at a novel and I am certainly open to any criticism. The novel begins in January 1924 a little less than 60 years after the Civil war and five years before the Great Depression. The main character is getting married today. She describes her home, her life to this date in some of her mannerisms and dialog because she is expecting to take on a totally new life after the wedding vows. She breaks Southern Tradition is sort of a feminist. There is an element of super natural in each chapter. It is so subtle until it may not be apparent until much later in the book.

Summary:

This is my first serious attempt at a novel. The theme is roughly about how art can save your life. Since it will be ever evolving, I can't sum it up entirely, but the main character is a man, and it chronicles his life, as he watches a devastation happen to his artist mother, through the joys and sorrows of marriage and fatherhood, and so much more set from the 60's to present time.
