Gonzo journalism that will leave you breathless



This is a roller coaster ride in gonzo journalism. Hunter S. Thompson would be proud. This book is a wild tale in a stream-of-consciousness style that kept me riveted to the page. From Afghanistan to the mean streets of  Raleigh, North Carolina, this book will leave you breathless. ~Joanna Graybill

The story of a young man's destiny to become the greatest detective in the world, a hero in his own time. Lt. Col. Reid McQueen Recon Div. 10 Calvary, did 9 tours in the desert wars. He was a west point cadet who flunked out for dressing as a Navy woman cadet to spy on the Navy football team.
     After finding seventy-two I.E.D. factories in deep cover with no back up except three pistols and four knives, his Cherokee instincts saved him time after time.    
     Known as the "Tarheel that never quits Atomic Blonde Tornado," feared worldwide,  Lt. Col. Reid McQueen kick boxes his way through the good, the bad, the ugly, and the kinky. From Afghanistan, to the badlands of Iraq, to the streets in the underbelly of the Capitol city, to the Cherokee Indian Reservation, he moves  with swift determination though having been wounded three times in the theater of war. 
     Limo for a KILLER is the unsolved murder of Jill Starr, escort girl and dancer. Detective McQueen tracks down the Zodiac Clown serial killer...with his bounty hunter team, "Rebeccah's Angels," and becomes the President's man.

Ampersands: Pretty Is as Pretty Does

   By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of the multi award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers   Have you noticed how ampersands turn to gibberish when they are entered into some blog services like Google's blogpsot.com? That is only the beginning of problems ampersands cause for editors, and publishers of all kinds. Many of the difficulties they cause go unnoticed except by the publishing pros we would all like to impress like agents, librarians, bookstore event directors, and the acquisition editors at Knopf!    That's why I added a new section to the second edition of the winningest book in my #HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers,  The Frugal Editor . Because ampersands seem to be so popular these days, it's especially important for editors and authors who publish books to know a little about their history, how to use them, and how gatekeepers and readers of Lynn Truss's famous zero-tolerance a

On Writing Chase Scenes

By Carolyn Howard-Johnson Author of  The Frugal Editor,  the winning-est  in her award-winning HowToDoItFrugally Series of books for writers This article is excerpted from some editing I did for a writer of experimental fiction when I was on a Greater Los Angeles Writers Society panel writer of any genre can apply these suggestions to the chase, getaway, or high action scene in your script or manuscript before you send it to an agent or publisher or, better still, while you are writing the first draft.  Sometimes even the most fascinating, interesting and irresistible  detail can slow down the forward movement of your story. So as much as writers are told that detail is important, purge as much as you can from your action scenes and put it somewhere else or dribble it into narrative in other places in your manuscript. In the process, ask yourself if your reader really needs to know the color of the protagonist’s eyes. As important as detail is, some is better left to t

MARGARET FIELAND INTERVIEW (guest blogger)

When did you first know you were destined to be a writer? LOL, I never realized I was destined to be a writer -- I fell into it. I'd written poetry for years, collecting it in notebooks stacked in my attic when I wrote one I wanted to keep. This led me to several online sites and ultimately to discovering the Muse Online Writers Conference where I hooked up with Linda Barnett Johnson and joined her writers forums. She required everyone to write both fiction and poetry, so, with much trepidation, I started writing fiction. Then I got hooked on it, wrote a chapter book, took the ICL course and actually learned how to write it. Then in 2010, I was seized by a desire to write a sci fi novel, so I spent six weeks or so on world building, mostly, with a bit of plotting thrown in for good measure. Who would you cite as your influences? I'm a way-back sci-fi fan, and Robert A. Heinlein influenced me heavily. I took a lot away from his writing, notably the value of surpris
