Who Loves Ya, Baby!

Family. What a touchstone word.  A word loaded with history and baggage, fraught with an ocean of emotion.  On this sunny first day of spring, I’m plunged into the whirlpool of that ocean, tossed back and forth like a paper boat. Let me rewind the tape for you a bit, so you understand the context … Continue reading Who Loves Ya, Baby!

Mini-post! Steampunk Meets the Doctor (Who, that is)!

So during my writing night last night (we have a group), for those of us who are "waiting at the gate" for Nano, it was suggested that we take our main character from our Nano novel and put him/her in a completely different setting or time and just roll with it. Somehow Jonathan and Coggs … Continue reading Mini-post! Steampunk Meets the Doctor (Who, that is)!

Evil Dairy Gods, Orange Cheesy Goodness and Other Things That Suck

Greetings, fellow babies.  Yes, it’s been a while.  Life has been throwing me more than the usual amount of curve balls, but I am still here and still swinging.  Wow, two baseball metaphors in a row and I’m not even a big fan!  Must be the disaster that are the Cubs, weighing on my mind.  … Continue reading Evil Dairy Gods, Orange Cheesy Goodness and Other Things That Suck

Kelly Blanchard's avatarMeeting With The Muse

(Kelly was written by Kelly Blanchard, and Juan Carlos was written by Nan Sampson Bach. Juan is the antagonist in Nan’s fantasy series ‘The Gatekeepers Saga’.)

Juan-Carlos Miguel Orellano de Campos moved quietly around the large living area of his penthouse in the coveted San Remo building on Central Park West, preparing for his guest.  The Interviewer.  He re-arranged the sensuous turquoise satin throw pillows on the mid-century divan then adjusted the opacity of the window shades to manipulate the brightness of the morning sun.  Not glaring enough to blind, but bright enough to cause his visitor to face him when they spoke.

From his windows was a stunning view of the Park.  Sunlight glittered on The Lake, patches of spring green grass contrasted with the darker leaves of the trees, and a myriad of utterly insignificant human beings scurried along the park’s paths, believing they…
