Re-Lighting the Forge Fires

Hello world! It’s been a while, but we are still here. Parenting, especially in the early years, certainly took up more time than we initially expected. Many of you knew that already, but we did not. And so we’ve sadly had to put this project to the side as evenings … Continue reading →

The history behind Counting Crows, a WWI-era novel taking place in Greenwich Village. We love Maggie's spirited fight in support of those without a voice.

Maggie Canavan only heard about the sweatshops of Greenwich Village when she read this newspaper article on the infamous Triangle Factory fire. On a chilly March morning in 1911, 146 young women le…

Author Channels Vercors Family History Into a Novel of the Fight for Freedom in the French Resistance!

The Fortress: A Story of the French Resistance.

Six weeks before Operation Overlord, hundreds of miles from the beaches of Normandy...

There are no generals in the French Vercors, just a handful of men and women standing alone against the N**i war machine. They have nothing left, no friends, no allies, no hope.

A frequent criticism of the US healthcare system is that greedy insurance companies kill sick patients so we have to make healthcare a "right" that is managed by the government.

What if we did...and then compared how government managed "rights" to healthcare work in other countries where delayed and substandard care would produce far more deaths in the US system.

Not to mention the medicrats will use a phalanx of police to deprive people of a right to seek care that is privately funded or offered by other systems...

Now flip the question: How many people die in other countries due to deficiencies in their healthcare systems? And how many people would die in the US if we had treatment outcomes similar to those in other countries?

Medicaid expansion helps big business reduce competition. Ohio is a case study.

Writers: David Farland provides some effective writing tips. This one is about story immersion by appealing to the senses.

Most writers don’t know how to write prose that entangles a reader’s imagination. Envision a reader picking up your novel.…

It took us a while to break the habit, too.

Were you taught to put two spaces after a period at the end of a sentence? Many people were, but now most publications recommend using just one.

Tipping our hat to the democrats and republicans working together to defund legalized government theft.

The House passed amendments this fall blocking Jeff Sessions' asset forfeiture directive. Now senators want to make it stick.

***spoiler alert***

From our author, on reading Blythe as an allegory:

For those who read my novel “Blythe,” I think it is now time for me to share with you the deeper meaning of this work, which may not have been apparent on its first reading.

SPOILER ALERT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT YET READ “BLYTHE”: DO NOT READ ON.

“Blythe” is an allegory on the spread of HIV/AIDS across society and search for a cure, all hidden in a story about love and separation.

HIV/AIDS is the driving theme that animates this entire novel. Once you understand that, it becomes a completely different, and, I hope, deeper, work of literary fiction.

If, after you first read “Blythe,” this wasn’t apparent to you, I encourage you to go back and read it again with this new insight; you will find it to be a completely new and even more moving tale.

I will include more insights in the comments below in the days ahead. And I welcome your comments and thoughts, too.
