What book are you reading right now?
I have become an Agatha Christie fan as of late and have been reading a lot of her work. Her books are page turners that are hard to put down. I understand now why she’s so popular.

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
The Hardy Boys Mystery Series was one of my early favorites to read once I started reading as a kid.

Haiku – 8/1/2021
In the black of night
Room plunged into thick darkness
Footsteps walking slow
+
Alone in the house
Stirring from a deep slumber
Listening for more

Hush of silence falls
Starting to relax a bit
Cold invades the room
+
Something striding fast
Moving towards the soft couch
Contact imminent

Been listening to a couple of Podcasts that have my brain exploring the supernatural and the unknown – helped to inspire this post. Plus, I just finished a great book by Ryan Sprague called Somewhere in the Skies. I highly recommend it. The stories about aliens and abductions and conspiracies will keep you up at night. You can get the book here: Somewhere in the Skies and you can find the Somewhere in the Skies Podcast wherever you get your Podcasts from. And if you want some great ghost stories check out the Podcast called Jim Harold’s Campfire. Great spooky stories. I think Jim also has books but I haven’t read any of them. That’s it. Thanks for reading and enjoying the blog. Have a good one.

The toughest part of the writing process is about to take place, finding an agent. They are necessary, but are hard to find. Just a tough industry right now to break into.
Does anyone know of any good websites that showcase agents, what they want, what they need? Just curious. I have found a few and they seem to work great.
Here they are if you want to check them out:

Haiku – Library
Dusty and musty
The library lives with books –
timeless and ageless
I like the sound of this one, but I’m not sure it works. I would love to hear what you think about it. What kind of feelings do you get when you read it?
Here’s some music to listen to while you think it over.

Desert Island Books – Eric at THE IPC
Check out Eric’s site here: http://isaacspictureconclusions.com/
Well the next Bookworm Castaway has been set. Check out Eric’s selections below. Thank you Eric for taking the challenge.
Remember if you want to be a Bookworm Castaway just click on the page Desert Island Books to learn more.
Here goes.
1. You have a choice of one complete series of books or three individual books.
While I would love to take the entire Book of the New Sun pentalogy (by Gene Wolfe), but I don’t think i could make it on just those alone, so I would bring The Urth of the New Sun. It’s one of my favorite books ever and the character of Severian kind of molded my growth into adulthood.
I would also bring along a copy of Mailman (J. Robert Lennon) – one of the best things I’ve read in YEARS – a story about a sociopathic American mail carrier – it’s touching and hilarious and sad all at the same time. Have you read this? Did he really try and eat his professor’s eyeball?? Highly recommended!!
I haven’t read this one, but it sounds interesting.
To finish this up I’d have to have a copy of The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia – a very moving story of heartbreak and sadness that incorporates the characters and the author into the text. Very smart and well written.
2. Three CD’s you can’t live without – no greatest hits packages please.
AEnima by TOOL – this got me through some very hard times in my life….
Garage Inc by Mettalica – some of my favorite classics covered by one of my favorite bands ever!
A Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd – ever song on this album is a transcendental beauty and could keep me at peace during long nights marooned on a desert island.
3. Suntan Lotion or Sunglasses
Totally sunglasses. I can work a nice tan and my eyes are getting old, so definitely some shades!
