Prologue to Novel - Revise 1

Is there one moment in time where something happened that changed your life forever?

The living legends of our time are often asked this ...and for us ordinary people, if we really thought about it, most of us could identify one ...single moment ...that changed our lives forever. For some it’s when a child is born or they when they first leave home or when they go to college.

For me it was when a shiny, twisted bit of brass tubing was placed into my hands for the first time. I marveled at its… Continue

"Kiss of the Gypsy"

"They're thieves " was all my father would say when talk about the gypsies started in our small town in Spain

"But Dad, they're not," I said to him. "I've been to their camp and seen them work the horses. They e nice."

"This is a foreign country, Danny," he said sternly. “Your responsibility is to keep our house safe."

I had seen a boy training the horses; he wasn't a thief! He was having fun showing off. My friend, the baker, became abrupt at my argument. "Your father is right! They're like… Continue

Prolog to Novel

Prolog

If you asked, most people could tell you that there was one singular moment, on one day, when something happened that changed their life forever. For some it’s when a loved one died or when a child is born. I didn’t know it yet, but mine had already happened and the consequences of that singular incident was coming at me like a hurricane.
*****
The day started like any other; up early running a mile in the surf with my father. Followed by a light breakfast and off to school. Actually, I… Continue

You can post by adding to the discussions, join a group, etc. but if you want to add something that you created on your page go to the upper right side of your page where it says "quick add" and a drop down menu will appear. Click on "blog post" which will be on your page. From there on, if you want to add more you can continue to use that or at the end of your blogs you'll notice it'll say "add blog". I'm going to go eat dinner, but anymore questions feel free to ask, I'll be on later to answer anything you want to know!
