This is the 3rd chapter in Part One of a three-chapter glimpse into my young-teen mystical adventure--"THE CROW CHILD"


*I created Part One in three distinct segments according to some folklore.

Chapter 2 of Part One for my young teen mystical-adventure trilogy--"THE CROW CHILD"...


*Sometimes we feel small, helpless, at a loss for our direction and purpose then 'something' unexpected happens. Perhaps that 'something' even appears insignificant like a word, an idea, a single thought or maybe a fleeting event. But--if we're paying attention, what 'seems' insignificant might create a change to our entire destiny...

Today you can listen to - Chapter 2 - from my Suspense-Thriller, "24 SUSSEX DRIVE"...


*With all of the factual research I like to do for my fiction plots--I tend to think of each plot development as a 'building' process.  And, a big part of that building process is to create whole believable characters with recognizable qualities we already know. Since my background is geology/science and journalism/columns and features--natura...

As a former journalist the fun of fiction is that I no longer need to be limited to the space of a newspaper column or magazine feature. However, that still doesn't mean because the core plot is fiction, I can just make up 'anything' [well I could but that's too easy] because factual research makes my fiction plot a richer challenge... 


And, DREAM GATE...GRABBING AIR  along with its sequel was exactly that - a challenge. One I ...

Hello again - and hopefully you're feeling some tension rise as Chapter 2 increases the plot pace...


Historical research is much easier - at least for me because it's set. However, using recent events is often a moving-target as new information or evidence alters where we thought facts were headed. For this plot with research that combined both historical documentation and current news - the juggle was even more of a challenge,...

I certainly hope everyone is enjoying each chapter 'hint' as much as I enjoy sharing them. This post is slightly farther into the plot of my Romantic-Suspense-Thriller...SHADOWS AND LIGHT...it's Chapter 27 of Part 2.
