    I have just finished reading a novel.    I shall not reveal which, or who the author was, because I shall be telling of a certain dislike within the pages of that book. I will say that this was the first book of hers that I have read and overall I quite enjoyed the story. But there was one thing that really annoyed me, and that ‘thing’ has taken the shine off a pretty good read.     I shall reveal what that ‘one thing’ was a little later, because firstly I need to explain the premise of this Rambling. As you will know I am a writer, and like most writers I like to read. I like to read good stories, be it a short story, a novella, or a full blown heavyweight novel. What I find most enjoyable is a book that speaks to me, a story with a captivating voice. I am not talking about audio-books, I am speaking of the written word. You may then ask, how can a book talk? So I shall, in my bumbling, haphazard way endeavour to explain. When, for instance, you open a fresh new

This is a Blog I follow on WordPress  by   Peter Wells  in his blog called CountingDucks.  https://countingducks.wordpress.com I Had entered the winner’s circle: wealth, travel and: ( check,check,check. ) women:  mine and any one else’s I could charm. I could walk into any restaurant and they would say, “On us sir” and I would nod, because modesty is part of the package. I was a known speaker, whose financial visions had been aired on television. I had children by more than two women, all of them cherished and nurtured because that’s what civilised people do. My money was my own to spend in my lifetime, but my children could inherit my insights to light their future, and trust in their own abilities. All, well and good. Pat on the back for the big man, and mine’s a large one. Oh yes, I could  ” Hang out”  with the crowd and sniff a line of something: drink without regard to safety and spread the word that life’s a party once you find the invitation. Sometimes I might g

Friday, 25 April 2014 Misty grabbed the ringing alarm clock and threw it straight across the room.  That did nothing to stop its incessant ringing and so she pulled the thick blankets over her head pressing the pillowy softness into her ears.  But she was awake, and she was mad. "Fuck. Fuck this day, and fuck you John Browne." Misty had gone to sleep angry, and had awoken just as mad. She had waited for his call from 11 o'clock last night to 2:

    I have to post this story by Squid McFinnigan  on BRILLIANT BLOGS because it is so intriguing, but then I really shouldn't be that surprised as Squid writes so many wonderful, haunting and enchanting tales.     If you enjoy reading short stories and flash fiction then Squid is one of those writers you need to add to your reading list.   http://squidmcfinnigan.blogspot.co.uk/  We all have our treasures, things we’d dash into a burning building to rescue. If you were to ask Sam what his most treasured possession was he, would delve a hand into his pocket and produce a silver iPhone5S. He had queued for a full twenty four hours to make sure he got his phone on the day it was launched. His whole life was contained in it and he had not been parted from the phone for as much as a second since he bought it. When Sam was a teenager he knew he was destined to become a great actor. In high school he took the male lead in every production he auditioned for. In bet
