THE REVIEW

THE RAM’S HEAD TRIO


Jim and Kristy joined me last night for our Meeting. Annette and Chelsey emailed to say they weren’t well and wouldn’t be attending. And Heather, a prospective new member, was also not well and couldn’t attend. Didn’t hear from anyone else and was wondering if the last Review coming out so late might have caused some confusion? I didn’t get around to sending out another reminder about the Meeting. Sorry to all if that was the problem.

Kristy read the prologue to her re-written children’s story, still untitled. It is written in first person from the point of view of the puppy who is kidnapped while his young owner is inside the store buying an ice cream cone. This will definitely pull on the heartstrings of young children.

Jim read Chapters 66 and 67 of “Coventry Ghosts – Book II”. Sara, the kitten ghost, is still trying to get Joel and Ji-Young to their submarine without being caught by the Honywuan military or by the Umbra ghosts, who were working together. Fighting breaks out at the beach where two Zodiaks come to take them to the sub. Sara was feeling overwhelmed fighting both the Umbra and the military, but suddenly receives help from Mei-Xiu, the ghost who haunts the ocean. But a Lieutenant from the SEAL squad is shot and Sara goes inside his body to close the tear to his aorta. He still needs medical help though, so she tells the Doc on the submarine what attention the patient needs before he even arrives in the medical space onboard. Lots of action in these two chapters which keeps readers on their toes.

Jim told us he’s getting a lot done with his Book I in the Coventry series being edited professionally. She is giving him story suggestions as well as doing the line editing, which is mostly about the use or non-use of commas, in Jim’s case.

Kristy did read to us the second half of her story “A Fairytale Ending” but plans to read it again when more members are present, so I won’t tell you anything about it here. Ha! Ha!

I just received the rest of my payment from Summit Studios for my short story “The Blob At Green Lake” that was in their anthology “Never Light A Match In The Outhouse”. Matt, the publisher/editor wrote they have updated their website with a list of potential anthologies for the future and invited me to contribute if I have anything that might fit. If the list is on their website, I’m sure anyone can contribute, so take a look and see if you’re interested at www.summitstudios.biz

The next Meeting will be Wednesday, February 4th at 7:00 p.m. here at my place. Hope to see you then, all healthy and eager to pursue the written word!
