It's a fairy tale as cruel as all loved fairy tales from children and adults. It comes from episodes of a true story, suddenly revived in the prophetic form, almost in a way a comic novel would. A shocking story of a love supreme, more powerful than any evil power, even of death, of money, of the temporary fame of the beloved stars from Hollywood; irreverent and funny. E' una favola crudele come tutte le fiabe che piacciono a bambini ed adulti. Essa...

Women are beautiful. They all love children, which means they are sensitive and have lots of maternal nurturing instincts. Women are strong and wonderful. They are stronger than men in many many ways. Remember how they labor for love. They are all romantic. These poems have a lot of feeling invested in them. I found out since I was a kid that women need to be appreciated. I need to sing about women and how beautiful they have been created. I can say...

From the Author: This is a true story based on my life experience. It is not just another survivor's story; it is the story of a journey to spiritual growth. After being abducted as a child and exploited through the underground world of human trafficking, I wanted to know why God loved all the children in the world but me. This is a testimony about a girl with hopes and dreams; who loved the Lord and loved life. Then one day her hopes and dreams were...

This is a collection of my first year's blog Writing Rite, which features my writing. However, it is divided into four sections: Essays, Poetry, Short Stories, and Novel. Within each section, the items are aligned by publication date on the blog. Most of the short items have added background and/or explanatory notes. Most of the poems and short stories have been previously published; if so, I have included that information. Most of the essays have...

Appropriately for protagonist-a time traveler-there is perhaps no series of any genre that spans as much actual time as Doctor Who. From its debut the day after the Kennedy assassination, through the rise and subsequent break-up of The Beatles, Thatcher's long reign as prime minister, the Falklands War, the moon landing, and the Tiananmen Square uprising, the classic version of the series persisted. It is odd to think of a television series being...

Publishing essays in the age of the tweet is a bit like selling buggywhips next to the car dealership. One would only expect such an activity to be pursued by old fuddy-duddies waving their canes at the kids on their lawns. We are actually huge proponents of social media. The restrictions of 140 characters have brought soul back to wit, and created surprisingly elegant moments of poignancy in the decade since first we tweeted. Still, sometimes, after...

There is no order to these stories. They are not chronological; they are completely random. It is the way they were found in my closet. I could arrange them according to color or some other system, but I enjoy their disorder for the same reason I like many Italian Operas. Italian Operas are difficult, exaggerated, and loud. They are crazy, and often don't make any sense at all. In fact, they remind me of my life.

It began as a mass attack on writer's block. My strategy: Write a 200 word essay every day during the summer of 2000. What it became, once I dispelled the nonsense of "grander notions of the purpose of art," was this collection of some of the best words I have ever written, such as the following excerpts: And when air is given flight in laughter, and food is given art in flavor, and sex is given bliss in love--we're talking profound existence. / Truth...
