  Okay. The title and picture are meant to titillate your interest. Make you feel compelled to read the article. How does it feel to be manipulated by sensationalism? Even though this is a legitimate question, let me quote a verse from the bible. For some readers, they're already rolling their eyes. "OMG, not the…

                                        Book 3 in the McCabe and Savage Thrillers.   Maybe the secular readers don't mind the excessive cussing and sex scenes or maybe they've just become used to it.

                           A portion of the fifth chapter of my WIP, tentative title: Seeing . . .        They ate in silence, a covert solitude between strangers whose lives had intersected.

                                       The Chill of Night by James Hayman is the second book in the McCabe and Savage Thriller Series. I decided to give Mr. Hayman a second chance because The Cutting was a good story – and would've been better minus an abundance of f-bombs and explicit sex scenes. So I purchased The Chill…

                             Most young ladies remember their first love. Good or bad, the memory lives. Some of those females end up with their first loves. Others discover that although the love held a treasure so rare and individual as to never be duplicated, it passed with time, events, and growth. Faded like a radiant sunset mesmerizing a…
