    Although it’s a familiar and well-used cliché applied to situational arguments with teenagers, in politics and relationships, and in corporate boardrooms or custodial closets, it’s a valid instruction, its intent recognizable by all who hear it. In my world it can also apply to those matters created by writing novels. Authors subject themselves to all…

    My favorite TV Series has its premiere tonight. After ending on a cliffhanger, I can’t wait to see the result!
