'Classy Like Frank' Croons At Paul Brazil's Blog

A slice of a knife should make a hit-man's first assignment go down smooth like scotch, right? Them rich people, ya just never can tell.

Check it out 'Classy Like Frank' at Paul Brazil's site.


Thanks to Paul for inviting me as a guest. It's a nail biting experience to submit something to the King of Noir. This genre is new for me. I hope my pen twisted crime worthy of Paul's site.

Feast Of The Flash Results Are In!

Mr. Michael J Solender has thrown this fabulous writing contest, offering to donate $100 to the winner's charity of choice. This is simply fantastic and wonderful in every aspect imaginable. If that isn't enough to knock your socks off - this is: he announced today that he had decided to donate $50 each to the first and second place runner ups - and there are four of us!

What a generous heart Mike has, not just for donating money, but all the time he donated into reading and judging the entries. Wow. My floppy hat off to you, my friend.

Congrats to Grand Prize Winner------
Laurel Wilczek with Thanksgiving Day Pies!

Oh, I adore this woman. She's Super Woman. I fancy her writing away with a red cape, green gloves, and thigh high boots. She finished nano a whole ten days early! Whew- amazing! And this is while she's working with young'uns writing nano at libraries. I asked her if she would share her super powers. She responded. I listened closely, and will share with you. "Sitting upright in a chair for 6 hours. R. Butler calls it the white hot center. Family calls it creepy."
