The Million Dollar Question and Answer ( NFL Sunday Football Comic Diary)

The Bookshop Guru

The Dallas Cowboys face Seattle SeaHawks in Sunday’s live match. I fancy SS to win the game, the SS1 stands for Seriously Stressed One. Who invented the spread, the bookies, and the way they see it as a + or - 8 game? So, that probably means the SeaHawks will win, so make your choice.  I also fancy going under on total point line. That probably means I will lose my shirt and my shoes, just as well, I need new ones. Oh, well, the bookmaker has everything else, or do they?

English as “Apple crumble and cream, and a celebratory glass of port.” Hooray! Hooray!

The Bookshop Guru

A book review of  'Before the Daisies Grow’   formerly Escapades of Glamour Grannies by Micki Street

There are a lot of characters to get your teeth into in this book. The leading characters are English as “Apple crumble and cream, and a celebratory glass of port.” Hooray! Hooray! The ladies get more than they've bargained for. The comedy is driven by the antics the ladies get up to or want.

This is a kind of novel to read while winding down on the holiday on the beach. Get ready to laugh because some of the things the ladies get up to will make your hair curl. 

Wilma, Dotty, and Nora are the leading characters which you could identify with as they make their way to a mysterious island where the trap has been set to capture some rather unsavoury drug smugglers who seem hell bent of doing the most stupid things, but then again it is a comedy. So, it’s easy to read and enjoy the intrigue that surrounds their adventure. Although the ladies are set for a sunny adventure it turns out that they are being watched over by an undercover police force, just as well because the jails are not a welcome the ladies envisage. 

Glamour grans on holiday is more like what the hell are these ladies thinking about. Some of the language is tongue and cheek, “I’m going for a quick bikini wax." “'Wilma, I'm really worried about her and the ridiculous things she's doing lately. I wonder if she's had a stroke." 

But then again what do you expect from a comedy. It’s not easy to write a comedy, but I think the author has done a real job on creating the scenarios and characters where you can laugh and at the same time feel for the characters. The bad guys, the undercover police and the maids are well developed characters that all add to the scene and mix well with the ladies efforts to enjoy themselves, yet unbeknown to them the police and the bad guys are all using the ladies for their own ends. 

At one time I did think and worry about what these ladies got into, but then that’s fiction you go where the story takes you. The book is overall a good read and something to laugh about while you watch the tide come in on the beach. But, I hate to think what my granny was up to if they were anything like these funny characters. A good read to have on your Kindle.

Are you listening,  what are you dreaming?

As Jesus said, “belief is everything.”

“…back to the 1980s…” Short Story Update

The Bookshop Guru

I finished and submitted my entry. What a task, as you remember from previous articles posted here, that writing a short story is no easy task. But one, that has been a challenge and a goal over the past months for me. Not for lack of trying I have explained how I have written several short stories and not been happy.

Anyway, the task is complete and only a few hours before the deadline for the competition, which ends today at 5.pm UK time.

The process of writing of writing a short story is arduous, to say the least. But, I am happy with the result. A readable story in 3000 words or less is the criteria. It has taken several stages from creation and idea to writing dialogue. Framing a story and reading how to write a short story have been all part of the mix.

I reflected back to the 1980s for the era and the mood of the story. I created characters and set the scene and let events tell the story. I used an approach made famous by Hemingway called the ‘iceberg theory’ which characterizes many of his books.

Relieved, I can now get back to writing my next book. Writing a short story takes a lot of time, from research to writing dialogue, it’s no easy task. And then the editing, the same for writing a book you need to use the same professional approach applied to the task of writing a short story. I wanted to improve my writing skills and at the same time test and challenge myself. A job well done!

"What Really Attracts Men"

The Bookshop Guru 

The other day, I saw an internet headline that read, ‘What really attracts men.’ Curious cat, I clicked the link to find out about the top mistakes women make that men find unattractive. And, sure enough I was wrong; the one mistake I thought would be in the list wasn’t there. In fact, the one thing that attracts me to a woman is beauty. And of course a short skirt, that always helps.

We all make assumptions invariably they turn out to be wrong. It’s fun being right sometimes, though…

This {extract} below is from one of my short stories.

“As I snaked onwards I passed a small village with a sign that said, ‘Beware of frogs crossing.’ I could feel the goodness of being with nature and the countryside. I found myself thinking: It would be nice to live here, in a small village away from the noise of suburban life.”

Time Riders by Alex Scarrow

Liam O’Connor, Maddy Carter and Sal Vikram are the three main characters all from different epochs of time recruited seconds before dying, to police time travel before it’s too late. In the future the ability to time travel has been invented; the problem is now the future.

I found this book by pure chance on the way-out of the bookshop, so I stopped and starting reading a few chapters and wanted more, and so I bought the book.  A full review of this interesting book to follow shortly... 

Cadillac Fin Suitcase by Michael Walsh

Cadillac Fin Suitcase is a collection of 18 stories written by an American author and photographer Michael Walsh about life in Taiwan and much more in the 90s. The writing is great, even too good, but I like it. I can feel my imagination take me into the story. I don’t need much else.

“I sprawled out of the back seat…hoping we’d stop at a blood bank for a take-out” I like that, with shades of Marlowe in the ‘The Big Sleep’ by Raymond Chandler. Each story is different, some true some not, so my full review will try to encapsulate the essence, stay tuned…

The Escapades of Glamor Grans on Holiday by Micki Street

Glamour grans on holiday, fancy a laugh then this is the book. I could imagine the three main characters Wilma, Dotty, and Nora getting stuck in the proverbial pie. It’s a story where the ladies get more than they bargained for. I like it!

Exotic locations and drug barons, English as “Apple crumble and cream, and a celebratory glass of port.” Hooray! Hooray! Review of ‘glamour grans on holiday’ coming shortly…
