Website

I finally have a website: My Website.  I also placed the link over to the right of this page with my other links.  It's a very basic site at this point, but it will give you more of an idea of what I'm about.  As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Happy Memorial Day!

Dreams

I know of a few published authors who got ideas for their novels from dreams.  Stephenie Meyer who wrote the Twilight series is one of those writers.  She dreamt about the meadow scene, which compelled her to write the story that would forever change her life.  I'm not one to remember my dreams very often.  If asked what I dreamt about last night, I couldn't tell you.  The other night was an exception.  I dreamt of a hostage situation, which I won't disclose the setting because it was just weird!  It involved a mother trying to protect her children and considered doing things she normally would never do in order to protect them.  There were two men who were her captors.  One she didn't like, but the other she did.  She sensed good in him.  He was the one that interested me and I wish I could have found out if he helped her, but I woke up before he did anything!  I've never kept a dream journal before, but I made sure to write this one down for future reference.  I'd like to learn more about this fellow my subconscious dreamed up.  I'll just have to let my imagination take over.

I started reading Amanda Ashley's latest novel As Twilight Falls last night.  I read the first eight chapters and didn't want to put it down, but I really needed sleep.  It's kind of a Twilight Zone hostage situation story.  (Now, had I started it a few nights ago, I would have thought it triggered my dream.)  Can't wait to pick it up again.  That's what I love about reading; the anticipation of a good tale.

I saw the movie "42" a few weeks ago.  What a wonderful movie.  Even if you're not a baseball fan, I recommend it.  Harrison Ford was at his best.  I remember learning about segregation in elementary school, but it is unbelievable how racist "the greatest generation" was.  Just imagine their reaction if they could see our day and age!  The sad part about it is most of those people were probably Christians.

This may be a little early, but have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
