Review: The Life and Times of Dinah Marton by R. F. Bruce, the story of a multiple murderer

R.F. Bruce’s The Life and Times of Dinah Marton is the story of a multiple murderer.  So let me start by telling you that I’ve never seen a single episode of Dexter, what I’m told is a series about a “good” serial killer.  On the other hand, I have seen Downfall, the 2004 movie about…

Review: One Green Bottle by Curtis Bausse

Let me begin with a disclaimer (or maybe an excuse) – I don’t read a lot of crime/mystery novels, so please read on with that in mind.  My experience in this genre is limited to Colin Dexter’s Inspector Morse series, Johnson’s Longmire books, and Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe novels. That’s it. Of course, I’ve also…

Review: Spark by Atthys Gage

Let me start with a disclaimer – I’m not all that familiar with recent Young Adult genre fiction.  Prior to reading Paolo Bacigalupi’s Ship Breaker, and The Drowned Cities, the most recently published YA book I’ve read was Spacemen, Go Home by Milton Lesser, the last in the Winston Science Fiction YA series, published in…

Post 24 Character Development – Keeping notes.

Post 24 Character Development – Keeping notes. My first bit of advice about character development is simple – keep notes.  Especially if you want to write a story laden with multiple characters it’s very important to strive for consistency in characterization. I know, I know… we’ve all read and seen stories where the coward suddenly…

Post 22. Writers, Some Things NOT to do. Part 3.

The last don’t do I want to discuss for now is really simple – don’t steal plots. Every so often I come across a posted story that elicits a sense of déjà vu as I continue to read. Then it strikes me – this is just (put title of famous novel or movie here) rehashed…

Post 21. Some things NOT to do. Part 2.

Don’t forget to do your homework. Huh? Aren’t we talking about writing?  Yes, we are, and by homework I mean research.  Even fiction requires that you present the reader with a sense that you know what you are talking about. Small slips are common in writing, especially anachronisms.  In Shakespeare’s Julius Ceasar, Act II, Scene…
