Galleys That Went Out This Week
LAKE EERIE: Haunted Homicide, by Thornton Parsons
The police photographer snapped pictures of the body in the rowboat. Special Agent McCreary ruminated on the initial K that Renda had written in her own blood—she had recognized her killer! Trapped in a dark future between here and the hereafter, Renda Rousseau finds that even in death, she cannot escape the weasel with the Coke-bottle glasses who murdered her family. Despite her ethereal rage, she is unable to contact her twin sister, Brenda, who knows that Renda is still at the lake house. But, why? Renda will capture your heart as you join her on her heart-stopping quest to leave her ghostly realm and join David and her children in Heaven. But how? Is she doomed to haunt the lake house for eternity? Relive this riveting tale of love, betrayal, and death with Renda as she makes her way back Home. Or does she?

BACKWOODS MEMORIES, by Shelley Abbott
Jack's News!
by your Official Bookstore Cat,
and Gossip Columnist.
HI Everyone,
Jack here, your favorite bookstore cat. I heard from our friends at Writers Bloc, about their meeting last week:
The Bloc met October 21 at Seaford Library, in a
room worthy of a high-powered law firm. Chief Counsel Tom Taylor
presided. Also present were Andy, George, Shirley G, Jerry, Ann, and
Seafordian Elvira George.
Our host, Librarian Jerry K, stopped by
and Tom gave him a set of Bloc anthologies for the library's
collection. The friends of the library had received email notice of
our meeting, luring Elvira into joining us. She's interested in
screen writing and poetry.
Tom reported on his presentation at the
Thrive program in Salisbury's MAC Center, which several members
attended. Greg Bassett was there and Tom will call and see if he
might be willing to publicize Noir in
the Independent. If
anyone should find any error in their own Noir
submission, please let Tom know.
Tom gingerly turned
us to Anthology Five, asking for suggestions on a theme. Andy
declined to participate after all the grief we gave him about #4, so
we need to coax him into re-challenging us. Jerry was first with a
suggestion: “Pets and Other Non-Human Critters.” The lack of the
commercial mention “Eastern Shore” was noted, but could perhaps
be stressed in our name.
Requirements were
reviewed: 2,500 words (+or– 10%), or 3 poems; illustration for each
submission; original work created for the anthology; first rights to
the Bloc; all other rights reverting to the author. . .
George read four
poems created for a poetry workshop he's been attending at SU and
Rita read one inspired by her recent visit to the Gaudi basillica in
Barcelona.

MEMORANDUM
Just have to ASK, Jerry! "Non-Human Critters???" Surely you don't include felines in that Group! I have known many Homo Sapiens with far less Humanity than Most Felines, So THERE!
For any one who Noticed, my Baby Sister stayed out all night again with Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown, the black stray who was living down by the river. He did okay this summer -- had a nice nest inside the old beached barge and caught plenty of little fish in thepond, but now that it's getting colder Spunky has been worrying about him and even tried to convince Roger to bring him inside Our House. She's still a baby and likes to play and as your Official Bookstore Cat, I'm far too dignified to PLAY! So of course thats why she wanted him.
Roger said, "No!' because, "One tomcat per household is enough!"
Anyway, our neighbor, Dominick, has been feeding Leeroy lately, because small fish don't come up in the pond anymore after the water gets cool and Leroy was starting to look a bit thin. Nick built him a nice warm place to sleep inside his back porch, too. Bad Leroy had no trouble figuring out the cat door either.(Not after Spunky showed him what to do, of course.)
So that's Bad Leroy, taken care of for the winter. Nick already has three Girl kitties who live inside his house, so Leroy will have plenty of company, if he chooses to go all the way inside... He still has some trust issues where Humans are concerned, though, so it may take awhile.
Meanwhile if any of you, My Favorite Authors, are going to conferences, holding book signings, or have any news or some good gossip for me.
