I'm not completely set up here yet. For example my subscribe button doesn't work yet. Hope to get that going tomorrow with a free ebook short - A true story of an unusual & mysterious experience I had. I hope to get it going tomorrow...And would love to hear what you think of what happened to me. And now, it's time for dinner!
What I'm reading now and swept away into total immersion!
I'm reading David Morrell's Historical Thriller MURDER AS A FINE ART and must say at first I was put off by the title, given the way violence is sometimes romanticized. However, as soon as I began reading I found this was not the case at all in his book.
This eloquently written novel is based on a true story and fascinating in every way. I love gas-lit London and that is the era in which the novel takes place, and so finely, thoroughly, and convinceingly drawn by the author you do feel you are there. David Morrell's talent as a writer enables him to include fascinating historical information, describing what it was like to live in 1854 London, without interfering with the flow of the story, and only enhancing ones reading.
Murder as a Fine Art is the title of an essay written by Thomas De Quincey, a real historical person and a character in this book struggling to support his family, fighting his grief, and opium addiction, traveling with his devoted daughter who he has raised to be a woman sure of herself and one who feels on equal par with any man, which shocks the Detective and Bobby involved with a case that is linked to De Quincy's essay.
I'm only a third way through the book but loving it. The reviews are right. MURDER AS A FINE ART is a masterpiece. Highly recommend.

Welcome to everyone drawn to the Marvelous, the Miraculous, and the Magical, in Fiction & in Life . . .
Hi! Those are a few of my interests and this is my first post here in a long time. I've just begun redesigning my blog today. I've been active primarily on my website, but decided to to blog here now. And still learning how to put it together!
I'm a poet, painter, and writing Urban Fantasy novels. So here, I'll probably be blogging about any books I'm reading, sharing quotes that strike me, and any info I come across about the psychic - supernatural. I'm interested in ghosts, OOBE, NDE, lucid dreaming, seeing at a distance, and a bit of quantum physics as it has actually provided data to support such phenomena.
I've published my first novel, FROM DARKNESS, a novel of the supernatural and the power of the heart. Urban Fantasy. And published it in three volumes: Awakening, Net of Jewels, & Returnnnnnnn. Now working on my next novel with continuing characters from where the last book of FROM DARKNESS - Book 3 - Returnnnnnnn left off.
I love writing about all my interests and people exploring them or experiencing them out of the blue!
Like me, and maybe like you. Scroll down on my blog to find some of my Manhattan by Moonlight paintings where darkness & radiance meet. As in my books.
