Elizabeth Willie Towles A post from my blogspot

What Intoxicates my mind? The language of prose. It's like acting--but on paper. I can be whomever I choose, a silly sally, a demure maiden, or quite the comedian at times. I can also be a person of questionable repute. Ahhh, that opens up a whole new world, so many adventures, so many tarty ladies to mimic--who's to stop my pen from letting me go where the fainthearted dares to wander? And then there's always the mysterious lady who shows up whenever excitement throbs; and the toughy girl who t… Continue

Linda Weaver Clarke Laughter is the Best Medicine

The secret of happiness is a great mystery to many people, constantly searching for joy in everyday life. Is laughter the secret to true happiness? How about a simple, sincere smile and greeting as you pass a friend? I’ve noticed it’s quite effective. I suspect it’s because friendliness uplifts us, makes us feel warm inside. When someone goes out of his way to greet us, it feels mighty good. Laughter and smiles are contagious. They tend to spread from person to person. If you smile at a baby, he… Continue

Elizabeth Willie Towles The Write Spot/ What a Prompting Title...and of course, I write!

I have come across a lot of sites, but when the word 'write' is part of the heading, my mind is instantly alerted: so I stop, and write. I have a new novel out titled, THE LONG NIGHT MOON, and am indebted for the many delightful comments and reviews coming from readers. This work took a long nine years to write, but the story and the characters, put inside a drawer when my husband faced two life-threatening health issues, would not let my mind rest; they kept at me until I picked their story up… Continue

Linda Weaver Clarke Mix a Happy-go-lucky Bachelor with a Roaring 20s Woman and You Have: Elena, Woman of Courage

In the 1920s, the new generation spoke a language that their parents didn’t understand. They had words like: Cat’s pajamas! Ah, horsefeathers! Attaboy! Baloney! You slay me! When referring to a woman, they used doll, tomato, and bearcat. When a person was in love, they were goofy. If a person was a fool, they were a sap. And when a wom… Continue

Linda Weaver Clarke The Legend of the Bear Lake Monster

The waves splashed gently upon the shore and the full moon shone brightly upon Bear Lake, making the water shimmer. A deep foreboding was in the air and the fawn, sipping from the lake, could sense it. His ears perked up and he stood still while his eyes searched the area. Only the sounds of nature could be heard, crickets sang and an owl hooted, but the deer sensed that he was in danger and quickly darted away. With great speed, he sprinted gracefully, as if in mid air, toward safety. A few fe… Continue
