As many of my followers and supporters know, I love to write short stories. I enjoy the challenge of creating viable characters and setting them down in situations that range from the frightening to the poignant. Electric Eclectic Books has released five of my longer short stories, novelettes, under their banner. It’s an honor to have my work represented alongside such notable authors as Paul … Continue reading Win-Win with Electric Eclectic Books
It’s my pleasure to welcome author Neil Douglas Newton to my blog. He also happens to be my husband. Neil is one of the authors who contributed a short story to the crime noir anthology, Cons Dames & G-Men. Take it away Neil! I can imagine that if someone read my story “The Mickey” in the “Stab in the Dark” groups’ anthology “Cons, Dames and G-Men”, … Continue reading Cons, Dames & G-Men: The Mickey

Neil Newton’s contribution to the anthology Twisted Tales is as different from his book The Railroad as cherries are to onions. Weather the Storm is pure science fiction, complete with other worldly beings. I won’t call them aliens because I don’t want to conjure up images of little green men or tall gray creatures. Written in the first person, the story instantly drew me in. … Continue reading TWISTED TALES: 15 Literary Lies & Epic Yarns: Weather the Storm by Neil Douglas Newton
I love romantic thrillers. Nothing gets me going like a good thriller with some love and even a little sexiness tossed in to steam things up. My list of romantic thrillers or even horror stories with love and romance tangled in is quite extensive. Unfortunately many of those are by well known published writers. They get plenty of publicity without my two cents. So here … Continue reading Love Is In the Air: Romantic Thrillers

This certainly is the case in author,… Continue reading FINE REVIEW: “The Railroad” by Neil Newton ~ Courageous Book Steeped with Gravitas
