Where Fiction and Reality Meet
Magic is the only honest profession. A magician promises to deceive you and he does. – Karl Germain Ah, what a tangled knot we twist when magic practiced does exist, when illusion is not a simple guise, and to mock its existence proves most unwise… Sorry.

Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire. – George Bernard Shaw Oooh. My. Bwaaah… Yes, that’s me being rather speechless in a very complimentary way, because there’s just not much room for words in my head at the moment. Why? Because I can’t seem to erase the mental picture that L.A. Witt and... Continue Reading →

The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself. – Oscar Wilde Johnny Cairo knows a thing or two about temptation. He’s been attracted to his best friend’s little brother for a while... Continue Reading →

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. – Ambrose Redmoon Oh, Rich… Marv… Sim… Reg… Oh, Lucky, whatever your name is… He’s a man of many handles, some rather unfortunate ones, too, as well as a bit of a mess, but a lovable...

Love, like fire, cannot subsist without constant impulse; it ceases to live from the moment it ceases to hope or to fear - Francois La Rochefoucauld. Ladies and gentlemen, the results are in… Lukas is a rat bastard. That is all. What? You didn’t think I was going to tell you about those other results... Continue Reading →

There is never jealousy where there is not strong regard. – Washington Irving Lucius Parhelion may very well be the most anonymous author I’ve ever read. No “About the Author” blurb in the books, no website, no Twitter account, an unused Facebook page, no author page on Amazon or Goodreads. But that’s okay because, really,... Continue Reading →

Yes, here it comes, more crap, but I’m not an author, I’m a reader, dammit, and I think if anyone has the right to weigh in on this one, it’s those of us who support this genre with not only our love and commitment but our hard earned dollars as well, so here I go…... Continue Reading →
Opportunity is a favorable occasion for grasping a disappointment. – Ambrose Bierce William Pastor learns a very valuable lesson about celebrity worship: sometimes the actor is only as interesting as the words that others have put into his mouth, and only as sure of himself as the directions he’s been given by a script. Sometimes... Continue Reading →

We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another. – Jonathan Swift I’m going to admit that before I started reading this book, I girded my loins, big time. Like, with titanium girding and everything. I was pretty sure after I’d read the blurb that I... Continue Reading →

I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. – Og Mandino Warning: This book may make you laugh until you wet your pants. Or snort out loud. Maybe both. That is not a confession. On the other hand, it may... Continue Reading →
