The Empire is falling and I want a free vacation

September 27, 2008

I have just posted a piece I wrote last year about housesitting. If you want to read it, it’s entitled Free Vacations listed to your right. I thought about trying to submit it somewhere for publication but it’s the end of summer, isn’t it? We had a Fall equinox event here last weekend. I am continually reminded of what Caroline Casey said about what was happening astrologically starting May 2 last spring and then again coming up on Nov. 4th(election day). Quoting Caroline–”the empire is falling, don’t cling to the rocks falling around you” I will post her blog roll here when I figure out how to do that, but for now you can search her name and Coyote Network News.

Leave comments on Calliope

September 7, 2008

Since I have a lot of books from my first run out there now, I would love to get comments from people who have read, or are reading it.  What parts did you like? If you put the book down and didn’t get back to it what caused the “stall”? Is anything confusing? I know that my first run was not well edited by myself and I am starting to revise it.  I just wanted to get copies out to the people who prepaid and waited so patiently.  And, I’m savin’ up money for a second run.  My son-in-law,who is working on his PHD in literature, advised me that authors usually need to focus on getting works of short fiction published first, so I’m working on some and will be posting them here for your perusal. I will also try submitting some pieces. Anyone have ideas on where I should submit? Meanwhile go ahead, criticize my book…I can take it! In fact I WANT it..perhaps it’ll make me a better writer.
