â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;â€&lsqauo;"Carol Sheldon is a master story-teller. The historic details, the film noir atmosphere, and the gradual revelations of each of the characters and their motivations are superb. From the first foreboding moment to the startling conclusion, this is a true page turner. I could not put it down." . . Vicki Weiland, book doctor.

MOTHER LODE was a finalist in fiction in the 2012 Amazon International Contest. It is a psychological mystery set in a Michigan mining town at the turn of the 20th century. Sheriff Foster tries to uncover the mysterious death of a town woman whose nineteen year old son is in jail as a suspect. What he discovers is shockingâ€"about the mother-son relationship. What he does with this knowledge is both ingenious and affirming.

"The memorable characters (Sheriff Foster, Jorie Radcliff and his mother Catherine) in Mother Lode by Carol Sheldon pulled me into the story-world and I did not want to leave them. I encourage writers to study this novel and learn Ms. Sheldon's (also she's a playwright) page-turning techniques. From first hook to crisis, to climax, to resolution--all beautifully plotted and narrated. Mother-Son relationship--edgy, innocent or guilty? Stunning story. What a reading experience!" . . .Teresa LeYung-Ryan, story-consultant and writer's platform-building coach; author of Love Made of Heart and of Writer's Platform & Fanbase In 22 Days.


Mother Lode is a compelling novel and much more than a simple mystery. It's an absorbing tale of family, dreams, death and desire in which a young man named Jorie and his bizarre and complex relationship with his mother. It's a good page-turning puzzler or a complex study of human nature.

"Ms. Carol Sheldon, in her wonderful novel, Mother Lode, creates a world of harsh winters filled with tragedy and hope. She explores many of the darker areas of children who are forced to grow up under the fearful mercies of their parents and the introverted communities they live in. It is a story of love and pain, of excess, and of secrets. I enjoyed this book. The writing is excellent and the story telling is even better." . . Gregory C. Randall, author of thrillers, novels and non-fiction.


Was Catherine’s mysterious death a horrible accident â€" or was it murder? MOTHER LODE is a psychological mystery set in the late 1800s during the heyday of copper mining in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. A rough frontier state, the story deals with dark secrets and twisted passions that lie as deeply below the surface as the copper this community thrives on. Sheriff Foster tries to uncover the mysterious death of a town woman whose nineteen-year old son is in jail as a suspect. What he discovers is shocking-about the mother-son relationship. What he does with this knowledge is both ingenious and affirming.

Creating Your Story Title by Mary Deal

Something writers of multiple stories will experience: Titles may come to you in a flash. Some will take a bit of thinking through. Say you’ve written your first and only story thus far. You may feel you have a great title for that one piece of prose. However, caution should be taken due to lack of experience in titles. You can only know how easy or how difficult choosing a title will be after you’ve written a few stories. For the person who writes many stories or many books, again, choosing a title may come easy, or it may be one of the most difficult aspects of writing. Some writers are unable to start a story unless they have a great title lined up. Then, with that title in mind, they set out to write, only to change the title once they see where the plot and characters lead them. Some authors cannot title a story till it’s written and rewritten for the umpteenth time. Then they decide. Whatever your preference, titles are just as important as the overall story itself...

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, ...
