“What the heck is Ekphrasis?” A year ago, while I could not have answered that question, I agreed to participate in an Ekphrasis Exhibition. All I had to do was write up to 600 words in response to a piece of art. So this happened:
Curious about this year’s exhibition? Come join us on Saturday, May 4th. I’ll be at the podium sometime around 1:30.
The new version of Passage to Murder is now available on Amazon. I’d love to see your comments below. Can you guess the character I wrote?
I’m embarrassed to say Passage to Murder has errors. it seems the corrections we requested in our proof copy created more issues when it was reformatted. If you happen to have a copy, skip chapter 7. The last five paragraphs of chapter 7 belong at the end of chapter 16.
Lesson learned: next time review the corrected proof before publishing.
My apologies if you already ordered.
It was nearly a year ago when eight members of the California Writers Club met to begin collaborating on Passage to Murder. We called our group the “Joint Book Venture,” hence the author’s name, Jay BeeVee.
How can eight authors write one book, you ask? The answer is complicated and a great topic for discussion at book signings and book club meetings. If you’re interested meeting the authors and live in the SF Bay Area, let me know. I hope you get as much joy reading this as we did creating it.
Myrtle is feeling old and doesn’t trust Herman to write her obituary. So she turned to AI. Now she wonders, is AI following her Instagram?
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Myrtle, a passionate and adventurous individual who touched the lives of all who knew her. Myrtle was an unpublished writer with a love for words and a talent for storytelling. She poured her heart and soul into every piece she wrote, and her words will continue to inspire and move readers for years to come.
In addition to her love for writing, Myrtle was also an avid outdoors enthusiast. She spent many years climbing mountains and exploring the world, always seeking out new adventures and challenges.
Despite her many accomplishments and passions, Myrtle will be remembered most for her kind and generous spirit. She was always there for her loved ones, offering support and encouragement whenever it was needed.
Myrtle leaves behind a hungry husband, a lonely grandson, and two ferocious cats who will miss her dearly. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her, but her memory will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
