Even as Starbucks stock drops people are still cramming into the places to get their fix. McDonald's, Panera, and of course Dunkin Donuts have increased their participation in the market. So I figure I can't be the only junky on here. How do you like yours?

Blood Meridian Reading Blood Meridian now, chapter 3, and I'm hooked! I've set aside my others to finish this one.

But isn't the idea to give the viewer a taste of the story. I think a successful trailer will raise interest in about a minute or less. I think of the trailer more as a visual form of the synopsis that would appear in the flap or back of the book. A great deal of books are advertised in this...

Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas - Zane Grey

Novel Trailers On the subject of getting your name out there have any of you tried making a trailer for your story? Much like a movie trailer, but for your book instead. I have made one for my first novel and was surprised at how easy and cheap it was. I think the jury is still out on how...

Here is the trailer I made for Wayne's new novel due out April: YouTube - Wayne Barcomb's The Hunted

When I sit in front of the keyboard and type whatever comes to mind ;) .

Not enough time in a day.

I write whenever I find the time to do so which can run from several days in a row a few hours a day to once a week for a half-hour. When the mood is right I can churn out 1000 words in an hour. I have two novels done, several others started and in between I'll write a short story here or there...

I was intrigued by this novel because some of my counter parts in the fishing world love it. Being born and raised in Florida, having spent a great deal of my childhood down in the Keys, and being an avid fisherman (almost charter captain); I thought for sure I would love this story. But I...

Better late than never??? Hannibal starts off wonderfully with Harris's visualization; you can see everything you read. There are complex characters introduced and of course a wicked weave between them. He shows the master insanity of Hannibal with his elaborate set-ups for escape from not only...

What an amazing story! David Simon does a fantastic job of taking an actual year with the Baltimore Police homicide division and making it read like fiction. Simon doesn't report this story he tells this story. The quarks and skills that make up all good detectives is captured in detail. The...

The funny thing is I have never re-read a novel, yet I refuse to part with any of them.

Eye of the Storm Shameless plug... Take a look at my avatar ;) .

Terrible Liar — My guest appearance at the infamous Liar’s Club If you want to be a great writer then you must know great writers. And by this I don’t mean you have to physically know them, but you must be able to identify and understand their writing. But if you get the chance to actually...

It does help. Thank you Sir!

I'm new here, but thought I'd share one of my short stories. Any thoughts are welcome! Isn’t it something when you grow older and develop that life of your own? The job, the wife, the kids; makes me think of the song Cats in the Cradle. It had been too long since I went fishing with my dad...

Why yes, I do! Yes. Well at least now I do. Easy to do with Goodreads.com .

A little late to the dance, but... Graveyard shifts entail different things depending on where you are working the graveyard shift. For me it was in jail. Come lockdown when you are working the floor it pretty much means going inside the cellblocks every hour and making sure nobody is swinging...

Obviously new here and just wanted to say hello ;) .
