The morning that couldn't get worse, just did...

If we eliminate money, power and revenge as motives, what’s left? The smell of Obsession - a love triangle gone wrong.

"I was immediately pulled in. Loved the humor of Laskey, really liked this character. Entertaining. Could see it as a TV series around Laskey I felt pulled into the story through my dislike for the main character." ~Ernie Colombo

A Jewish Accountant chokes on a Polish Sausage in a City Park...A young Catholic Priest is found on his bed wearing only his collar and a dead "Gay Hooker" is hanging from his ceiling...The body of a Mafia "Construction Baron" is found in the parking lot of the Diocese of Denver...

It's obvious that Denver Homicide Detectives, Sargent Jack Laskey and his partner Detective Mai Li McDuff would become involved with these events, but how does Father William Yeats Butler of the Franciscan Order become totally involved in every one of these events and more with his ex-Partner Jack Laskey.


An African American standing 6'5"and weighing 315 pounds of muscle, Father William Butler is an imposing figure in the robes of a Franciscan Priest. Father William has always been known as "The Monk" because of his devout Catholic faith when he was an All American Linebacker at Notre Dame or as a Narcotics and Homicide Detective for the ten years that he and Laskey were Partners.


In the tenth year of his police career, the Monk felt a calling to the Priesthood because as a Police Officer, he was only dealing with the spiritual symptoms of humanity's illness not the real cause of the illness, the Devil's influence on common man. The Monk had an acute and powerful awareness of the Devil's presence - not a "6th Sense", but a powerful gift from God.


The Devil, who the Monk calls "The Ugly", is now and always has been active on Capitol Hill. In The Gumdrop House Affair many of his deceptions and ploys are revealed as the Monk and his faith stand against the "Wickedness and the snares of the Devil."


You will fall in love with Father Augustus O'Shea, Aunt Rhoda, Popcan Charlie, Paisley Bob Lewis, Frank the English Bulldog and all the people who visit St. Benedict the Moor Catholic Church.


The Gumdrop House Affair deals with the recent sex scandals in the Catholic Church and the effects in an honest blue collar layman's fashion.Written by a Veteran Cop the pace is fast, violent, profane, humorous and honest. A tribute to the men and women who give all to stay true to their Vows and Oaths as they protect a cynical public and a decaying culture.

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

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

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
