Boys will be boys!

School. It doesn’t get any easier, does it?

But you don’t care. So I won’t talk about school.

I put another book up on Okadabooks!

Yaaay!

It’s called “First Sons” and it wants you to read it!



I should give some background on this story, I believe.

It was for class, my Creative Writing IA, really. We had about one month and a half to produce a novel in exchange for what, forty marks? And, being as dutiful and responsible as I was, I waited till about twelve days to the deadline, and remembered I had to start.

I know. No student more serious than me.

I’m putting it out now because some of those who read Scaredy Cat! wanted something longer. Plus, better out here than only hidden on my laptop where only I can read it.

Genre? Oh, it’s a lot of genres. It’s Christian, but I don’t profess to be a fount of all knowledge, and I don’t say this is a replacement for the Bible. God helped me write it a lot—no other conclusion would make sense to justify my completing a novel in twelve days flat!—and it was mostly sensible. If you notice any parts where there’s some foolery, then, hey, that was purely yours truly.

It’s based on another tale, so…fanfiction, much? I’m not sure. Or historical? I don’t know. Read it and help me figure out the genre.


Download it, same process.

In case you don’t have the Okadabooks app, find it in your mobile app store FOR FREE, download it—it takes all of one minute—and it’s there, on your phone. Launch it, and tap the magnifying glass and type First Sons. When the cover turns up, click ‘buy’—it’s free, so put your eyebrows back down. And then download it when it turns up in your library. Easier than a Jackson 5 song.

Everything is free!


Oh, and download Scaredy Cat! if you don’t have it already.

Note to Self: Read. A lot.

More than you think you need, love.  Some creatives are inspired by nature. They look at a stunning sunset, the purples and blues and reds layering the sky, or fluffy golden ducklings following their mama. Then they break out their paintbrushes and knock out something wonderful of their own, or get out their computers and unleash a torrent of words, carpal tunnel syndrome be damned.  I do not get inspired by sceneries. I like them, mind you. I think cityscapes are awesome. Sometimes on my walks home I get giddy with delight, staring at the dreamlike radiance of the full yellow moon establishing its presence in the dark sky. But beyond the immediate beauty, nature doesn’t trigger me to make anything of my own. What gets my creative juices flowing is other people’s creative work.  Reading a good book. Watching a complex movie, or the occasional speculative fiction series. Good books capture all my senses, no kidding. My eyes actively see, not the words I’m reading, but the ...

To Move or not to Move

  That is the question. I’m not sure when this blog became a quarterly. Because how am I only updating this for the first time in over three months? Sorry that I’m asking you. I had to ask someone. Photo Credit: Kaboompics, Pexels. Now that we’ve gotten the apology of my inconsistency out of the way (🙈), let’s celebrate!  I’m 24! Woohoo! In the voice of Liesl from The Sound of Music, ‘I am twenty-four going on twenty-five!’ Yes, I’ve been twenty-four for a few years now, but let us concentrate on important things.  In slightly less incredible news, I set a goal to read 25 books this year. Thus far, I’ve read 24. It’s not because I’m disciplined, or that I’ve got so much time on my hands. It’s just proof of how much traffic I have to sit through to and from work. People have got to learn to stop buying cars and just…walk! The air would be so much cleaner.  As is my habit, when I read a good book, I’ve got to talk about it, give the mandem something to add to their TB...

Is there a Literary Wrapped?

  Not to say that it should be a thing, but considering there are so many ‘Wrappeds’ at end-of-year, it would be cute– Ahh, yes. I remember. There is. Goodreads does a ‘Wrapped’ for the books you read. Mmm.  Anyways.  I completed a bunch of books this year. I count 57. (It’s not an exhaustive list, but there are a couple I choose not to count.) If you’re looking to get into reading, or just love adding things to your growing pile of things to read, here are a few of my favourites this year that I’d recommend for your 2025 To-Be-Read list.  The Enemy We Know, by Donna White Glaser (Murder Mystery, Psychological Thriller, Suspense, Comedy) This book gives you no time to settle in. The main character—Letty—is assaulted right at the beginning of the book, and nah, it doesn’t let up. When I started reading, I had to fight the urge to close the book and choose another one. I’m glad I stuck with it.  Letty’s a therapist, helping people navigate the trauma in their life...
