Perchance to meet today

When the air is soft

And the sky violet

Perchance to touch your hand

And cross back into time

When our love was young

The bridges in between

Haveall been crossed

Perchance to think

To love

And all that was is lost

And all that was is lost.

We know that we can look

Back on the paths we took

With a smile

Perchance to wish

Back all those…

Ghosts dwell with me

Every minute of my consciousness

And i cannot even laugh

At the joke of my existence

And their nothingness...

Ghosts,dear,darling,kind

Remind me in a soft voice

Whispering in my ear

How empty life has become

With their absence

Ghosts,oft remembered ghosts

Have stolen away my heart

And left a   dizzy part of me

Wondering if i,m the…

I really enjoy Melody Carlson. I have had the chance to interview her on my blogtalk radio show, The G-ZONE, a little while back; here is the link:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2011/04/13/melody-carlson-is-my-guest-today

I really enjoyed our discussion and had a nice time talking with her, so when the opportunity came up to read her novel I took a leap at it, why…

You came into my life

Like a tender breeze

Beckoning,caressing

Softly like a roving cloud

I wander aimlessly on the shore

Of my life

Watching the receding waves

As you approach me

Come,enclose me

In your  warmth

Peaceful,dove like

To fall into slumber

T be with you

Midst the ascending clouds

And the  depths of the sea

Forever....

Come...walk with me..

Over this icy sheet of  water

Crystalline,wafer thin and fragile

Just like the path to eternity

Glide like a lazy ballerina

Floating aimlessly in gauzy organza

Our breath frozen in tiny icicles

And snowy silence

With fire in our hearts

In this winter wonderland

Flames ...just frozen

Ribbons of red and white

The world is like a bubble

I got way more than I bargained for in this novel. Usually my reads aren’t as emotional as this one is. The post for Chasing Sunsets was supposed to have been up last week, but with my laptop getting hit with a bad virus I didn’t get to put it up so I am sorry and can only apologize to Revell and Eva Marie Everson. Back to the novel at hand, here is the synopsis:

“Kimberly Tucker's life hasn't turned out the way she thought it would. A divorced mother of two, Kim resents her…

Hey, how is it going? What is my issue? What is the source of my angst? Why am I really royally ticked off right now?  I have a few issues with the state of “Traditional Publishing”, or as some refer to them “The Big Six”. Let me expand and explain if you can follow along with me. As a blogger I am fortunate, and I mean this sincerely, to be contacted by authors, publicists, etc. to review novels. I am happy to do this, because let’s face it, it is fun and who doesn’t like a good…

I am very new at all of this so I know that I am doing absolutely horrible at all of this. Please forgive my errors and

give me the benefit of the doubt.  I am really "dumb" on a computer and only know how to answer mail and write books.  Thank you.  Drue "Dee" Miller

I will be compiling a list of books that I have used for various stages of research when writing essays, booklets, and white papers.

Finding the right resources to point a writer in a good direction is just as having something to say. As many people are finding out who write non-fiction, our opinion is just that, our opinion, but it helps to have your opinion backed by other so-called experts.

Each post will highlight a different resource, what it was used…

      I was once asked not long ago from a friend and fellow writer, how I come up with my ideas for my stories. I told him that for me, it starts with a scene in my mind and I branch out from there. 

     Most of the material I write are based from dreams that I've had in the past where a particular situation had occured, which looks like a scene from a movie, and I wake up remembering details of the dream. If it seems interesting enough to write a story about, I quickly…

Right off the bat I want to tell you I am interviewing this author today @ 6.30pm EST on my blogtalk show, The G-ZONE. Here is the link for that:

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/gelatisscoop/2011/06/17/lincoln-crisler-and-steve-piacante-join-me-for-tgif

Lincoln Crisler starts off the show at 6pm, Steve is on at 6.30. I have to hand it to the author; he can write a…

Waking to the news that one of my fellow collaborators, Big Daddy Abel, had three titles in the TOP TEN in his category made me take pause and reflect a bit. My wife made me stop though as it appeared it I may go into a seizure or something. Pausing and reflecting is not one of my many strong points. Here is the thing: as little as four months ago BDA was not doing this, the writing thing, nor was Trestle Press doing publishing on any type…

Rob (our Marketing Coordinator) and I just returned to the office from packing up the crates to go to ICRS (International Christian Retailers Show) in Atlanta next month! We are very excitied.  this will be our first time at the show.  We are anxious to present our company and our authors to a segemnt of the book market that has been hard to break in to, but are beginning to notice us.

It's a bit of a gamble.  We elected not to attend BEA (Book Expo America) this year in…

H.R. Toye is the author of the “Debtor’s Chip” series of digital short stories and she wanted to go all out hardcore horror with this little number. It is a smoking hot read and is filled with plenty of serial killer action and hardcore zombie suspense to slake any horror lover’s thirst. WARNING: If you have read any of the previous The Author’s Lab/Collaboration stories I think you have noticed an element of humor running throughout the story. That is not the case here.…

From time to time, I ponder on the ideas surrounding the disproportionism of Black America. Each time I learn a new piece of data from history, I come closer and closer to a self-realization that there are some groups who may have been set to be where they are, when they are set to be there and nothing aside from a miracle would change that position.

Fredrick Douglas once said "Without struggle there is no progress".

So theoretically…

                     Jumping in the car (well....van), cranking the music, and going for a long drive, is one of my favorite things to do. With no errands to run or destination in mind, I feel free--happy. My kids quiet, my mind clears, and I can think to the beat of the music while I delight in the view of the valleys, streams and farms. I love to discover new places and the…

Monk is rolling! Yes this is like reading what happens to a caged animal that gets loose or let out of his pen. With nothing to hang around his neck, and the weight of the show and the television season gone, Lee Goldberg takes the characters to new heights. We get to finally see what the man can do with a set of characters on the open highway. I personally love it. Think about it, what can the man do with Monk? The guy keeps himself in a box and is the central character, and personally I…

Many of you know that I am the father of eight wonderful children, and I know that I am fortunate to say the least. They are all healthy, way smarter than I’ll ever be, and I am told they are way better looking than the oldman. Thank God for my wife right, well I do every day. Okay, so what is it I am yapping about now. Here’s the deal, I have been fortunate enough to have been given another  gift of being able to work with an incredible group of authors that are extremely talented. To…
