Nothing gets my blood moving better then pulling in a crab pot full to the brim, or maybe raking for a bucket of clams for dinner, or scavenging oysters and frying up some hush puppies to go with a bottle of Apple Jax or Dixie...maybe that is why I was drawn to live on an island in the Puget Sound?
I love your work!
If you ever need a professional literary review I hope you will keep me in mind. You may see samples of my work on the portfolio page of my website: www.mywritingmentor.com. You will like my fees for ning.com members...(read: free). The only catch is that if you use any part of the review you include my name and my company's name.
With warm regards,

MARSHWRACK

larger image Author: Mark Raney

Fishermen, trawlers, shipwrecks, all abound in this tale. Forrest, Ben, Johanna and Carol make for some great main characters, and the author did well in writing about the trials and tribulations the characters went through.

I found this story exciting, full of mishaps and adventures of fishermen, trawlers, shipwrecks and pirates. It’s a modern day tale of a fishermen’s hard life. Life as a fisherman can be cruel as told in this story. Although I believe it needs re-writing, the stories told within are crucial to the disposition of this book.

MORGAN'S OWN BLOGSPOT

Come on Over

I'm over at a few other blogs today. If you get a chance, come on over to see the Christmas Decorations at http://acmeauthorslink.blogspot.com/

At http://bloodredpencil.blogspot.com/  the topic is Spoiled Milk. Ever sit down to read a good book and been disappointed?

If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.

Thanks,
Morgan Mandel

Paper War

I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.

The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.

I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.

I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.

What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Library Displays - See Make Mine Mystery Monday

Have you tried a library display? If you want to see mine, come on over to Make Mine Mystery on Monday.

Thanks,

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
