Some European Humor



I may write something completely different in the future, but with this book I'm on a dangerous path; I'll try to make you laugh. The book is not long, but hopefully it'll take some time to read it if your laughter prevents you from reading it fast.

I may write something completely different in the future, but with this book I'm on a dangerous path; I'll try to make you laugh. The book is not long, but hopefully it'll take some time to read it if your laughter prevents you from reading it fast.


     Hopefully you'll enjoy reading about when Doc Hooligan came to town to draw against a local boy in the first story: "The Duel". 

     In "And That's How We Came On Top Of Things", you'll learn why there are only ten commandments. This gripping story will no doubt leave you not only flabbered, but also ghasted! 
 
     In "Hoofs and Proofs", the story about the horse that felt trapped in a man's body, will make you rear and neigh! 
 
     The fourth is called "The Lesson". Does the Mayor of Locobano really have a snake's personality? 
 
     In another, "As the Crow Flew Gently Backwards", you'll learn about a young man's encounter with a mature woman, who in this case happens to be a bit…no, I mean a witch! 
 
     The sixth, "From Here to Hanukkah", features a nostalgic elderly lady whose love life catches up with her. 
 
     Learn "How To Fill a Void" when three people have just died simultaneously, but uh oh! There's only one vacancy into heaven! How. Will. It. End? 
 
     "Mr. Flinch Is Coming For Dinner", is future realism (does that genre exist?) about an old lady who defies the authorities just to make organic meatballs for her gentleman caller. True love, isn't it? 
 
In "For No Extra Charge", you'll get to learn about Hyacynthia Blowdiddle and her brief adventure with a devoted taxidermist. 
 
     Oh-oh - in "Snafu In Sector Z", there's a crisis behind enemy line in this military mission in a foreign country; the Colonel's wife's dog is missing! But help has arrived. Major Quacker has flown in to hopefully save the day. 
 
     The "The Fisherman Who Asked The Sea", is a short-short piece that will tell you about the lonely fisherman who dealt with his situation. 
 
    Finally, the last story has a bit of a tragic base. But what's comedy without a serious and slightly tragic foundation? The magic between a boy and his grandfather is described here, in "Learning To Fly".
 
I hope to hear giggles and laughter from the universe. If you like the stories, please write a review!

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...

Those S and ES Endings by Mary Deal

These endings have always troubled me until I finally decided to get it right. Compare the versions and pick out the correct usages in this name ending with the letter s . The Joneses came for dinner. The Jones’s came for dinner. The Jones came for dinner. John Joneses car stalled. John Jones car stalled. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones’s girl. That Joneses girl. That Jones girl. The correct sentences are: The Joneses came for dinner. John Jones’s car stalled. That Jones girl. Some tips: When a name ends with an s, and when speaking of the family as a group, add es , as in Joneses. When speaking about something John Jones owned, it is his property and, therefore, an apostrophe and s shows ownership, as in Jones’s . When speaking about a person in the singular, use only the name Jones. However, when speaking about a group of girls all named Jones, you would write that sentence: The Jones girls . Notice that the name stays...

Character Sketches

    How to bring your characters to life.   Assuming you've chosen your POV, you will already be thinking about your characters. True, too, you may have been thinking about your characters before choosing your POV. The two go hand in hand, or word-for-word. In order to flesh out your characters and give them ample zing, it's a good idea to make lists of attributes for each player in the plot. However thorough, you must then write your scenes to fit each character. That is, each scene that you write when a character appears in the story should reveal what you planned for him or her when you made your list, and how you planned for them to act. Of course, as the story develops, any character may take on a different persona than you first imagined. That's not a problem. Amending the original sketch will suffice, keeping in mind how the new character image affects all the other characters and the plot overall. I've always been interes...
