Yes, I've been busy the past few days, and with the holidays, I'm going to relax and ingest fowl, so posting will be sporadic for the next few days.



So, for now, enjoy this blooper clip that never gets old.

What is Confessions about?

A call in the dead of night summons Father Michael Jerome to a suburban Chicago hospital—a police officer has been shot. As department chaplain, Michael arrives to find that the officer will survive.

The same cannot be said for his assailant, who lays mortally wounded on a gurney, begging for absolution for some past sin. Offering last rites to the dying man, Michael hears his final confession and is shaken by the admission of a crime committed five years earlier.

A murder that shattered his family.

Struggling with the constraints of his faith, Michael moves cautiously as he tries to identify others involved in the vicious killing. But every secret he uncovers leads him further down a path where it becomes clear that someone is desperate for the past to stay buried.

One week until Thanksgiving, and you know what that means...TURKEY DROP. Possibly the funniest few minutes ever on a sitcom.




WKRP Turkey Drop
- Watch more Videos at Vodpod.

A wonderful snippet of Serling engaging other (presumably) writers on originality and pushing story to different conclusions.

Do not tempt literary fate. Next thing we'll hear is that Thai scientists are opening a prehistoric game preserve.

 


'A Japanese space probe that ended a seven-year voyage earlier this year brought back dust from the surface of an asteroid for the first time, Japan's space agency said on Tuesday.'

Look for it soon, to be priced at $2.99.

Today is one for the kids. Excuse me...young adults. It comes highly recommended by my daughter, who is not a voracious reader. This is probably the first book that she has wanted to read all the time. She would not put it down until we made her. For things like eating and bed. And she's already purchased (with her own money) more books by the same author. So a very big thumbs up today for Four Truths And A Lie by Lauren Barnholdt.

What is All For One about?

Mary Austin is the kind of teacher that parents adore and children wish for. Firm and compassionate, a guiding light in their lives, she would do anything to protect her students.

But that loyalty is tested when the school's sadistic bully is found dead on campus, and suspicion falls on six children in her class. None willing to talk. To point the finger.

To reveal the killer.

Faced with this, Mary finds herself confronted with dark memories from her own childhood. Fragmentary flashes from the past that test the bounds of her reality, the onslaught worsening when a tenacious detective is brought in to close the case.

On loan from the Seattle Police Department, Detective Dooley Ashe is plagued by his own demons, but focuses on breaking through the wall of silence the children have erected. Up against a town indifferent toward the crime and suspects virtually untouchable by the law, Dooley turns to Mary as an avenue to the truth.

As an unlikely closeness develops between Dooley and Mary, the suspected children close ranks, worried that one of their own is ready to break and give the detective what he wants.

But when unseen adversaries push back, with both damaging and deadly results, Dooley and Mary are forced to face their personal limits as they each discover the unthinkable identity of the real killer.

All For One is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords. These can be read on Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, iPad, and a variety of eReaders. If you need information on FREE reading apps and my other eBooks, you can look HERE.
