Novel Anticipation, Part Two
UNWRITTEN by Charles Martin – No one does romance like Charles Martin, always with a spiritual thread–sometimes overt, other times subtle. His prose alone is swoonworthy. 😉 Story Description: An actress running from her past finds escape with a man hiding from his future.

To Be, Or Not To Be
I’ve noticed a puzzling trend in fiction lately: the elimination of the linking verb “to be” within a sentence. Â A recent example I discovered is, “The piano needs tuned.” Huh?
