Found Footage – Loving Among the Dead

/

Y’all know how much I love my found footage movies.  And you also know there is sometimes a huge difference between what a writer writes and what actually ends up in the final copy of the book.  Today, I have a little twist.  Found Footage is a new feature that I’m implementing which showcases scenes that I wrote, that didn’t make it into the final copy, or may not have even made it to the draft I sent to my editor. Today’s found footage hails to you from Loving Among the Dead, my first “love during a zombie apocalypse” story.  If you’ve read the book, you’ll know where it fits.  If you haven’t, I promise, it’s not a spoiler.  Without out further ado, let’s roll tape! Anywhere but Here For the fifth time, he touched the butt of the gun shoved into the holster at the small of his back.… Continued

I’m very excited to welcome author Lisa W. Tetting with her latest release:  The Opposite of Hew.  Read on for the blurb and a great excerpt!   The Opposite of Hew A BWWM Novella by Lisa W.

What she finds in Gigi’s journal

Behind the Curtain – Title Inspiration

/

There are a lot of books out there and all of these books have titles. Although I’ve been writing professionally since 2011, the most difficult part of writing is —besides choosing the name for your character—is picking a title for your story. The title has to serve so many functions: it has to draw the reader in, it has to be (usually) short enough to fit on the book cover and still be readable, and it has to give some sort of idea about the story. Unless I get hit by a bolt out of the blue, it’s a struggle for me to get a title for a story. Usually, I harass my writer friends (whom I’ve also harassed to read the book in the first place) to give me a title. Did I say harass? I meant ‘beg and plead’. I can write a passable blurb. I’m even getting

Women’s History Month: A Black Feminist Threat

/

Ida B. Wells-Barnett totally bit a train conductor and then turned around and sued the railroad. This month marks the marked the 105th anniversary of the March, 1913 suffrage parade in Washington staged to coincide with Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration. To mark the 100th occasion of this occurrence, many woman’s groups gathered in Washington (in 2013) to recreate this parade and celebrate how far women have come since the original march. Nice, right? Did you know the original organizers of the march wanted the Black women to march in the back? Let’s take a closer look, without the rose-colored glasses. Woman’s suffrage was not for all women. The National American Woman’s Suffrage Association, in order to play nice with southern women, requested the black women march in the back of the parade rather than with their state delegations. Remember now, the very point of the march was to promote EQUALITY. Hmmmm.

Horror Movie Review: The Ritual

/

Title:  The Ritual Genre:  Horror, Drama, Snoozefest Summary: A group of college friends reunite for a trip to the forest, but encounter a menacing presence in the woods that’s stalking them. (from IMDB) Starring:  This Guy, That Guy, Glasses Guy, Red Coat Guy Usually I’m down for a horror movie where the actors go on a hike and get lost in the woods.  They can find anything there, from an evil killer, to a time loop or even a supernatural force that will tear them limb from limb.  A good monster, such as Bigfoot or the Jersey Devil does well too.  Alsi, alien invasions, government experiments gone wrong or mechanic cannibals. Basically, anything. I’ve seen everything I’ve listed and more and have enjoyed the movie at one level or another..  or simply turned it off halfway through.   The Ritual is based on a book that my daughter is currently reading
