Writers Gone Wild - A Review

Writers Gone Wild: The Feuds, Frolics, and Follies of Literature's Great Adventurers, Drunkards, Lovers, Iconoclasts, and Misanthropes by Bill Peschel

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In Writers Gone Wild, Bill Peschel really captured the essence of several literary greats in humorous well-written essay formats that are so easy to read. Mr. Peschel has done a terrific job of finding those little bits of faux pas that the famous or near famous literary figures have been involved in. While each piece is designed to stand alone and could be read in a few short minutes, I sat down and read half of the book before putting it down. This book is truly funny and the little known facts we never heard in history class are priceless. I would definitely recommend this book.

DISCLAIMER: I won this book off a blog contest, however the views expressed in this review are my own.

Story Engineering: Mastering the 6 Core Competencies of Successful Writing - A Review

Story Engineering Mastering the 6 Core Competencies of Successful Writing by Larry Brooks is a terrific guide for anyone looking to improve their written stories. This book gives you, the writer, the tools needed to make your story successful.

I’ve taken numerous college writing classes, story development courses and seminars, but this book is the most to the point and thorough explanation of story crafting that I’ve seen. In this book, Larry Brooks tells you what the 6 Core Competencies of Successful Writing are and explains each of them in detail. Throughout the book he uses different books and movies as examples of how the competencies were used and whether they were used properly or improperly.

I highly recommend Story Engineering to anyone who writes whether it is casually, educationally, or professionally. Larry Brooks lays out the essential elements of a story in a way that is easy to understand. Whether you want to get published or just express yourself better in a journal or your blog posts, Story Engineering can help you improve the way you write.

Missus Buck by Katrina Parker Williams

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Thank you Katrina for the opportunity to read this wonderful story.



"Missus Buck" is one of those old slave days stories that will set your teeth on edge. Ms Brandenburg, Missus Buck as the slaves called her,acted quite typically of the way slave owners would have behaved. I loved that the story is told from the view point of one of the slaves. This is a short story that keeps you reading and I'm not going to give away any spoilers here....but talk about a perfect way to end a story. Awesome!!
