What is your longest running series you continue to read? I have several and the five listed below are coming out in November. With over 12 books in their respective series, I look forward to my annual visit with these characters. The books range from a cozy, a humorous read to a thriller. Looking for […]
by Bethany Maines Tis the season again. The political season that is. And Washington State being Washington State we’re facing a couple of contentious issues, including gay marriage, marijuana legalization for everyone over 21, and that old chestnut, the Presidential race. Although, it should be noted that since we are Washington State the REAL hippies […]
By: Joelle Charbonneau I have no idea what I want to be when I grow up. I thought I wanted to be a music theater and opera performer. At least, that’s what I spent my undergrad and post-graduate schooling studying. And I guess I actually wanted to do that since I did the professional singing, […]
A HAUNTING IN LOTTAWATAH by Evelyn David Excerpt- It might surprise you to learn that most older houses and public buildings are haunted by a ghost or two. Or at least that’s been my experience.

Quitting wrinkles the soul. ~ Douglas MacArthur Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries. ~ James A. Michener A professional writer is an amateur who […]
Boston Skyline By Laura Spinella It’s been a curious couple of weeks. Not only from a writing perspective but from an everyday, tie your shoes, change of season point of view. Fall does that in New England, Maine to Connecticut selling the scenery with everything living up to the hype and gloss of a travel […]
