THE LAST DRIVE by John W. Howell #newrelease #supernatural #fiction

Ciao, amici! I'm so happy to host today's guest. He's funny; I'm not. (Well, I think I am, but my kids would argue otherwise.) He's retired; I would love to be. He's a gentleman and a scholar; I... used to teach, does that count? But we have a lot of things in common, too. We …

Ciao, amici! I have to apologize for the links this week. My computer is broken and in the shop for repairs. (I don't want to talk about it.) Consequently, collecting links and assembling posts has been a challenge. Hopefully, I'll have it back next week. But they're saying 7-10 days, so I'm not optimistic. Anyway, this …

Ciao, amici! For those of you who don't know, I'm Roman Catholic. While the calendar year is winding down, the Church year has just begun. We are now in the season of Advent, which is a time of preparation. Don't worry; this isn't going to be a religious post. But I think all writers bring parts …

Ciao, amici! This is Thanksgiving week here in the United States, and as you're reading this, I'm either preparing or lying in bed thinking about everything I have to do. Or maybe I'm finally sleeping, exhausted with all that's going on.  But I don't mind at all. My family will all be together for the …

Ciao, amici! Can you believe we're just two and a half weeks from Halloween? I feel like we just celebrated New Year's Day. I guess as we grow older, time really does pass faster. I need to make more time to enjoy it. This week, though, was work-heavy. A lot of editing, a lot of …

Ciao, amici! I hope you had a wonderful week. Mine was a bit of a chore---more editing than writing, and the documents needed a lot of attention. I usually like to split my time between creative work and analytical work, but it was pretty much all analysis this week. But that's okay. I have more …

Author Inspiration and This Week’s Writing Links

Ciao, amici! I know last week I said I'd be posting links this Friday again, but I kind of liked it better doing the link post on Saturday. It gives me a chance to include Friday's posts in my list (rather than deleting them or holding them all the way until the following week). So, …

Ciao, amici! I'd like to apologize for being a day late with your links, but I can't. I was delighted to visit with Don Massenzio and his readers yesterday, so I don't mind pushing this post back a day. Besides, it gave me an extra day of links for you, and an extra day to …

Ciao, amici! Thanks for following me around this week. Next week won't be nearly as hectic, although I still have a few posts that haven't gone live yet. Many of us are currently celebrating a three-day weekend with trips and picnics and anything we can think of to enjoy the last joys of summer. I …

Ciao, everybody. How was your week? Mine was exhausting. The kids are back in college, which means my house is returning to its normal schedule. I'd expected to get a lot done, but I'd forgotten my dogs don't adjust well to change. They don't like the house to be empty and quiet, and they moped …
