Whistle in the Sky - Flash Fiction
TRIGGER WARNING: War
Whistle in the sky. We run into the hallway and hide.
BANG.
The crash of breaking windows sounds in ballet class. The teacher looks at us, makes sure everyone is alright, and lets out a breath. “Class is over. Call your folks to take you home.”
We know it’s best to go home. The grown-ups need to clean broken glass from the floor and make a temporary fix of the windows. It won’t t Read more of this blog post »

Mistress and Mage is one of those books that easily earns five stars, yet feels almost impossible to review concisely because there are so many elements worth discussing. Still, I’ll try. First, this book is a perfect choice for readers who enjoy Rege ...more |

| His Elder by C. G. Macington was a tricky read for me because I usually avoid books focused on religion and faith. At first, I even cringed a little while reading about the daily life of elders on their mission. Their strict schedules and constant sc ...more | |

| Yours. Always. is a atmospheric short detective story that questions what love really means—and how obsession can twist it into something terrifying. The premise is chillingly clever: would you feel flattered if someone painted you a heart for Valent ...more | |

| Oh my—this book is one huge, messy, unhinged, and totally unhealthy romance… and I absolutely loved it. From the very start, the author makes it clear that this story is an exploration of fantasy rather than reality, and that framing is essential. Re ...more | |
“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
― The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967
“A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
