A flash fiction by E.M. Swift-Hook. You can listen to this on YouTube.
She let the slave girl brush out her hair so it lay like a shimmering black veil down her back and blinked as the over-strong perfumed oils caught in her nostrils. The king was ageing and his sense of smell fading. Alas, little else of his senses did so.

“Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.

I swear, I didn’t plan on disappearing for this long. It was only when I saw that my last blog was published two months ago, on August 3rd, that I realized how time had flown by. However, I couldn’t not share a little gem I came across today as I was buying food for our new cat.

Thank you so much, Kristen Lamb, for another educational blog post on how to write stories properly and keep the reader interested. We all appreciate your hard work!

Fashion. It sounds frivolous, but it has serious effects on us all.
Right now, women are getting beard-burn from kissing men who sport the fashionable romantic-hero three-day stubble. And mothers are stifling their disappointment when their golden-haired boys get the fashion-victim shaved-sides hairdo that makes them look like a cross between Kim Jong Un and the Last of the Mohicans.

Posted by Nicholas C. Rossis in Fun Historical Facts
As a kid, when I thought of pirates I dreamed of absolute freedom with plenty of swashbuckling.
When I grew up, I realized that pirates were bloodthirsty savages who deserved to be strung for their unforgivable crimes against countless civilians. So terrible was their presence in the Mediterranean that until last century parents would leave inland plots to their sons and coastal ones to their daugh1 year ago Read more -

Blog postWhat’s a logline? It’s a sentence or two that illuminates the main theme or story question. Sometimes it’s included on the cover, but not always. Sometimes a subtitle performs the same function as a logline – not so much with novels, but common with non-fiction, memoir and even short stories. Even if you don’t intend […] … Continue reading How to write a logline for your novel — Nail Your Novel →1 year ago Read more

Henrietta's aunt's best friend, Gabriela is the prime suspect.
Balancing a semi-friendly relationship with the local sheriff and perhaps a secret tie to the powerful librarian, Henrietta walks a tightrope in her impromptu investigation. Is one of the town’s old biddies the cause of the trouble? Or could some outside culprit be the source of the danger in the small town?
One thing is for sure, someone is stirring up something sinister at the soon to be reopened train station. Henrietta’s determined to make sure Gabriela doesn’t hang for this crime. Join Henrietta in this first tale, in this post-Collapse world. Will her amateur sleuthing clear Gabriela’s name, or will she end up in the jailhouse?

Pratima y Darlana se paran junto a Jyotsna mientras habla ante un gran grupo de personas de Divrasai con un número menor de Etawah. El fuerte del puente está detrás de ellos para que el público pueda verlo.
"Has construido esta estructura con tu sudor, lágrimas y músculos", Jyotsna habla al grupo. "Ahora es el momento de hacer lo que sea necesario para asegurarse de que esté protegido de los hombres que vienen".
"Levantaste ese muro piedra por piedra, plato por plato, poste por poste", les recuerda. "Ahora los hombres vendrán a derribar tu trabajo. No dejes de estar a la altura de esta ocasión en la historia. Apoya a Pratima y a los bibliotecarios mientras protegen nuestro distrito. Este es el momento en que se necesita tu esfuerzo".
"Todos los años los veo a todos pelear para ganarse la vida, tú eliges qué pelear, qué pasar por alto y qué cuidar", les recuerda. "Es una lucha larga y dura que cubre tormentas, heridas, muerte en todas las formas y formas, ira violenta y terrible contra el gobierno injusto y la necesidad de centrarse en los estragos de la naturaleza de sequía, saneamiento, crecimiento, nacimiento, bodas, entierros y familia de apoyo ".
