I’ve been writing long enough to have met many published writers, so I knew how demanding a published writer’s life would be. I’ve gone through my first novel’s editing, the beginnings of promotion and marketing, and very soon now its release (and the simultaneous editing of my second novel), preparing two proposals for my agent, all while endeavoring to research, plot, and write a new novel, something that used to be my sole (and soul) focus. This past year continues to be quite the challenge. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. LORI: I don’t have to pause to think about it.

We’ll explore the intricacies of Nice Guy behavior, and its consequences, later in this guide. Their repetitive, ineffective approach to life leads to unsatisfying intimate relationships, bitterness, and disappointment. However, according to Glover, “being nice” rarely yields the desired outcome, and Nice Guys’ insecurities frequently emerge as passive-aggressive or dishonest behavior. In the face of struggle, dissatisfied men use the tactic they know best: Be nice. Robert Glover helps you understand and conquer the frustrating-and often manipulative-Nice Guy mindset so that you can become what Glover calls a fully realized and self-accepting “Integrated Male” (who we’ll call the “Ideal Man” for simplicity). Nice Guy (referred to throughout this guide as NMMNG) by marriage and family psychotherapist Dr. Nice Guyĭo you pride yourself on being the nicest guy in the world?

EditionĬreate zany and whimsical Dr. She has also contributed a chapter to an anthology, 'Self Publishing - The Eye of the Storm' by Karl Wiggins.Ĭathy also writes poetry under a pseudonym. Eloise Loving a Sociopath by Catherine Lockwood I am not keen on the look and feel of this book, but hopefully the plot will be more appealing Dear Daughter by Elizabeth Little. It is a novel and psychological thriller which tells the story of disturbed teenage lovers who reunite in middle-age with disastrous consequences.Ĭathy is currently working on another thriller, 'Run, Frankie, Run', and a science fiction novel, due for publication in 2016. It is told with honesty, optimism and humour which makes for an uplifting tale rather than a depressing one.Ĭathy's second book, 'Eloise ~ Loving a Sociopath is now published. Eloise - Loving a Sociopath by Catherine Lockwood, 9781499350715, available at Book Depository with free delivery worldwide. She has recently taken up writing and firmly believes that we all have a book inside us screaming to get out.Ĭathy's first book is her true-story recounting her battle to overcome an alcohol addiction. She suffered from childhood depression which continued into her adulthood, resulting in a tumultuous, colourful life. Catherine Lockwood was born in England in the late fifties. But just as we’re trying to put together the clues to see if we can solve the case, King pulls a bait and switch. Horror fans want to be shocked mystery buffs want to deduce the outcome before the author tells us. King’s problem is trying to satisfy two audiences with contradictory expectations. But the second half veers into the supernatural, with the whodunit becoming a whatdunit, and we’re subjected to a monstrous - literally - deus ex machina. The first half is a fascinating mystery that challenges fans of detective yarns to be on top of their game. The occult whodunit is not an extensive genre, and Stephen King’s “The Outsider” is a good example of why. I mostly just don't like Mirabella because of her secret relationship. That is kind of sweet but also makes her weak. She is suppose to be the strongest sister and has the best chance at winning the crown, however she has no desire to hurt her sisters. I feel I can openly discuss my feelings for each sister at the end of reading Three Dark Crowns as I am about to start One Dark Throne. I did warn at the beginning of this review there may be spoilers in this review and here they are. That may sound horrible but it's what I expected going into this series. Will they change history and all live happily, or die horribly? I was interested in the series because of the horror that follows the crown and as much as I love the sisters, I kind of do want one of them to die, one sister in particular. As we get to know the sisters it becomes less likely that they will die with a lone victor. The whole story circles around one sister becoming Queen following the death of her other two sisters. The big question in this series for me is will Blake actually kill of one or two of the sisters. There is also a novella coming out in 2018 called Queens of Fennbirn that contains 2 stories in it The Young Queens & The Oracle Queen. Personally I am not yet sure how I feel about this, it has the potential to drag the story out. Originally, Three Dark Crowns was meant to be only two books, with more book coming from the same world. From what I have heard there are now suppose to be 4 books in the series. FORREST is the groundbreaking author of Curious Wine, the Kate Delafi eld mystery series, and the Daughters science fiction series. Originally published in 1987, Dreams and Swords is not only the perfect introduction to her work-it’s also a delicious treat for her legions of fans. A writer who has inspired both writers and readers, Forrest demonstrates her breathtaking versatility. From the erotic speculation of “O Captain, My Captain” to the incisive investigation of homicide detective Kate Delafield from moral dilemma to chilling horror from peril to passion, Forrest takes us across the vivid landscapes of her remarkable mind. This collection of her short stories showcases the brilliance of her gift, displaying the scope of her imagination and the range of her voice. Forrest is one of those true storytellers. In the hands of a true storyteller, they can still take us back to the very heart of why we love to read-and Katherine V. Once upon a time, we were all children, and short stories taught us how to read fiction. a believer in the power of stories.” -Lambda Book Report |
