REVOLUTION?
Why is it that when cuts need to be made -- it's the poor or the seniors that have to pay the price? Why is social security the 'entitlement' that republicans always target? We the poor -- barely recognizable 'middle class' have bailed out the rich -- year after year. We bail out their banks -- we bail out their corporations -- we pay them not to plant crops -- we pay them to drill for oil and gas the richest resources that we have -- then turn around and pay them the highest prices for the final product. Why do we constantly hear that Medicare -- Social Security and Medical Coverage is too expensive -- but the research and development of better war toys is something none of us can live without? I am so sick and tired of the entire political circus. We have idiots running for president and idiots stopping any forward progress that our first decent president in years is trying to implement.
When Bush won the presidency in 2000 I predicted that America was on its way to "hell in a hand basket." And sadly to say, I was right. Visions of France when the peasants were told to eat cake come to mind. The French Revolution (1789–1799), was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France that had a major impact on France and indeed all of Europe. The absolute monarchy that had ruled France for centuries collapsed in three years. French society underwent an epic transformation as feudal, aristocratic and religious privileges evaporated under a sustained assault from radical left-wing political groups, masses on the streets, and peasants in the countryside. Old ideas about tradition and hierarchy - of monarchy, aristocracy and religious authority - were abruptly overthrown by new Enlightenment principles of equality, citizenship and inalienable rights.(Wikipedia)
Is that really where were headed? Probably not but then again I know the first list of aristocrats I would line up at the guillotine. (Yes, I admit it -- I am that angry -- and I don't think I'm the only one!)
The 'aristocrats' are killing this country -- the people with the most -- have the least compassion, or empathy -- a new class of sociopaths (someone whose personality makes them behave in ways that are dangerous to other people). This is more dangerous and frightening to me than any crazy mass murderer that ever lived because it applies to such an influential group of individuals. These are people who have mastered the art of propaganda. They simply lie and sadly millions believe it. I always thought education was what made people less sheep like -- somehow we have failed to teach folks to think for themselves. Not all folks of course, but a great number -- a number that will make this election more scary than the last one.
One such 'aristocrat' is a man that I will not name but he owns his own television stations, newspapers etc. and has more money than sense--he tweets that Santorum is a great guy. Suddenly his campaign is making a million a day. A man who is clearly a bigot, a homophobic, and completely clueless to the needs of a nation fighting for its life -- yeah that's what we need for president. Although the way it looks some folks would vote for a robot as long it was made from white metal and not black metal.
I hope I'm wrong -- I hope those that folks that slept through the last election -- the one where all the republicans won -- wake up and make their voices heard! If you snooze through this one our country will sorely suffer!

The Widow's Walk League by Nancy Lynn Jarvis
My Review:
The Widow's Walk League
By
Nancy Lynn Jarvis
The Widow's Walk League is the fourth book in the Regan McHenry mystery series. Real Estate has never been more deadly than when a real estate agent is approached at a funeral service by the friend of a recent widow. Olive is a character that immediately rankles Regan's nerves and that annoyance continues to until the last page, in the most entertaining way. Nancy Lynn Jarvis has outdone herself with this book. The Widow's Walk League takes you on a journey of murdered husbands, rich widows and a motive you'll never see coming!
Several times throughout the book I thought I had it all figured out. I didn't, and there is nothing better than reading a good mystery that you can't put down! Nancy has done it again, her Regan McHenry cozy series based on her former career in real estate is made all the more interesting because of her willingness to take what she's seen, and what she's experienced and put it imaginatively in her books. This is what makes good writing, this is what makes a good read, and this is why The Regan McHenry series is something you will want to add to your library, whether it's on your Kindle or on your bookshelf. I highly recommend The Widow's Walk League.

My Review
Potter's Field
The Lost Word Writers Group
If you love poetry, enjoy horror, or if you just appreciate a good read, then Potter's Field by The Lost Word Writers Group is the book for you.
From the opening Iron Gates by Gina Gaudet, the Director of The Lost Word Writers Group, and the author of the haunting poem A Lonely Passage, to the humor of Phil Bannister author of the short story Fat Freddie Wilson, to the seriousness of Autumn Rose Wood's piece called Serving Life, to the pure horror of T. G. Reaper's tale A Small House In The Country, to the patriotism of Cindy Parker's poem To A Soldier Unmourned, or the sadness of Discarded Little Things by Devlin Giroux, and the history found in the story The Innkeepers Daughter by Leah Kalis-Denda, to the beauty of nature described by Dennis Neely in Beside Still Waters, or the truth found in Crazy Mary by Donrad, or by questions that will never be answered in The Passing by John Schwabe, this anthology has something for everyone. I am proud to say my copy of this book is signed by each of the authors, and that it sits on a book shelf where all my favorites reside.
Poetry is one of the most honest forms of expression, while horror is something many of us find cringingly fascinating but ultimately powerfully entertaining. Combine the two and you have a book that will surprise you from page one. The Lost Word Writers Group of Potter's Field have an anthology full of good writing, unsurpassed storytelling, with prose that entertains, causes you to pause and think, and inspires you to look at the headstones behind cemetery walls with a new appreciation, curiosity, and caution. Potter's Field is an exploration by each author of the unknown, the fears that haunt, and the compassion of death that awaits us all.
I highly recommend the book Potter's Field, and The Lost Word Writers Group as a collection of talented folks to follow, just to see what they produce next. Besides the excellent writing, the interesting stories, and poetry that touches the soul, this book is a wonderful work of art by a group of people who have mastered the talent of collaboration. My recommendation is a new book on how to successfully form and manage such a Creative Community.

Collaboration Creates!
The Lost Word Writers Group welcomes you to their second anthology, “Potter’s Field: Voices From a Creative Community.”
Come stroll with us into the cemetery...Within Potter's Field a spirited group of writers share their stories and challenge notions of the ordinary, of the conventional, and of the norm. Here lies murder, tragedy, horror, humor, sadness, and adventure with a spoonful of self-reflection, and another book from the Lost Word Writers Group to whet the appetite and stir the scope of human emotion.
The Lost Word Writers Group is a writer's support network in Jackson, Michigan. The group is uncensored and dynamic in nature. Personalities come together to clash, conflict, ignite, inspire and even surprise. They always support. This is their theme.
The group published their first anthology "Within These Walls: Voices From a Creative Community" in 2006. They have recently released their second and current anthology "Potter's Field: Voices From a Creative Community." Using a successful strategy, groups were elected and stages of book development began.
The Potter's Field theme was brought to light at a Lost Word Writer's meeting long ago. Whatever Potter's field meant to the writer, this was criteria for the "Potter's Field" anthology. The result is a completed anthology from writers of a wide range of writing styles and genres. The audience can read through the book as if walking through a cemetery with chapter names such as: The Iron Gates, Unmarked Graves, Ghosts, Humor in the Boneyard (one of my favorites), Tortured Souls, Wrongful Deaths, and Eulogies. A Word From the Lost Word Writers Group and author Biographies sum up this intriguing collection of works. It also boasts wonderful photographs from two of the authors. The reader has a chance to guess which author adorns the front and back covers depicting a character walking among cement and marble stones lined by lush green grasses and towering leaved trees.
If you are interested in learning more about the Lost Word Writers Group, or in purchasing the book or contacting authors, you can surf the Lost Word Writers Main Navigation Web-page at www.lostwordwriters.com. The site is under construction and more authors are being added. With that said, the site is interesting and surf-able, plus you can order a copy of Potters Field direct from the group.
The Introduction Iron Gates was written by the group's Director Gina Gaudet:
IRON GATES
"Step through these gates into another world. Lock down your fears. Hide away bias. All that you know, all that you believe may be challenged once you gather to hear what is said. Only truth needs telling, for no harm will come to those who rest in the grave. Come, the time is near. Take a deep breath, step forward and enter into The Lost Word Writers Potters Field. . . "
Potter's Field is an anthology of short stories and poetry, poet Cindy Parker introduces us to the book with one of her contributions called These Grounds:
THESE GROUNDS
"This is the place where they rest, where all their stories converge and their bones speak to the earth, rematerialize in the wood, and soak up the rain to reappear in endless shades of green.
And I come to listen sometimes as the leaves talk, or as the grasses sigh secrets too deep for this world.
Too deep for philosophy.
Too deep for me.
But . . . I come, hoping to leave with a better sense of myself."
Meet Gina and Cindy, along with Donrad, Thom, Autumn, Devlin, Phil, Dennis, Leah, and John on Saturday, May 14, 2011 @ 7:00 PM EST. Join us for a discussion about creativity with this very talented group of people. Some will read their words, some will explain their journey, but all will share their inspiration! Listen via the internet or call in at (347) 215-9536 to listen or to speak with the authors personally. Just use this link:

To learn more about Ken Tucker and his recent release Juke Joint Serenade read the review printed at FullTimeBlues.com. Where it's reported: "Brother Whiskey" starts the set, with what is arguably the best of the bunch right off the bat. This song is a monster, both sonically and lyrically. It's well written and well played, and in my opinion, it's the standout track from Juke Joint Serenade.

However, the peace and quiet she hoped to enjoy in her hometown is soon shattered. A killer is murdering Sarah look-alikes on the 14th of each month, taunting Sarah with a Valentine of evidence. After her experiences in Seattle, Sarah is slow to go to the police. When she finally does, she finds Detective Steven Quaid, who is called on to protect the beautiful widow from a stalker intent on her destruction. Steven is not entirely sure she is not behind the scheme herself, and before long Sarah has him wound up tighter than barbed wire. Is Sarah a victim or a very skilled manipulator?
Written purely for entertainment, this novel will keep the reader guessing and the main characters, Detective Steven Quaid and Sarah Davis Palmer will keep you wishing for more.
