Time Shadows (Book) - 2/12/2007 12:55:49 PM
I well remember the horrors of World War II and have done some reading re Herr Eichmann and Dr. Mengele. With your background and training, this promises to be a tension-filled dramatic read. I only hope my "weak knees" will hold up. Time Shadows is definitely on my "To read" list! It must be tough sleeping at nights. Love and comfort to you, Richard

Blockbuster Woman (Short Story) - 10/27/2008 7:50:48 AM
What a lovely piece! I love the humanity shared--on both levels... that of showing her (and your) human sides...annoyingness, irritation--and that of being humane... she, with running an errand for another, you with forgiving. It is amazing, is it not, how contagious compassion is? Spread the wealth, Sharon! I've got your back. --Charlie

I have enjoyed the reading of "Time Shadows Chapter One". In admiration, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Shadows of the Night (Short Story) - 12/18/2007 3:34:11 AM
To describe a life like the one of "Jacqueline Devore", one needs to be familiar with several scientific subjects; to have a logical and creative mind and the ability to paint with words. To write a story like "Shadows of the Night" one must have all those tools; be a heedful observer, and have a platinum STYLUS to engrave words on sandalwood tablets. The author of "Shadows of the Night" has the writing ink that bears the scent of creativity, and the style that guarantees immortality. In admiration, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

FRIENDS ARE ALCHEMISTS THAT MAKE GOLD FROM THE FOAM OF WAVES ON THE SHORE OF THEIR GRACE, AND MAKE DIAMOND FROM CONDENSED VAPORS OF THE RAINBOW OF LOVE. FRIENDS ARE THE PILLARS OF PEACE. – By Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU I have enjoyed the reading of this story. "Blockbuster Woman" is an arrow to show the way to fraternity. In admiration, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Falling in Love or Watching it (Short Story) - 9/6/2007 11:28:08 AM
Very true story here. When love captures us it changes everything:) And it's hard not to notice the effects:)

Blockbuster Woman (Short Story) - 8/24/2007 10:30:41 AM
A fine story with a moral. Thank you for sharing the lesson, Sharon. Love and peace to you, Regis

Have to go with Dai on this one!! Love Tinka

Blockbuster Woman (Short Story) - 3/7/2007 12:11:41 AM
This story brought to mind that line from the Beatles' song 'Though I act and laugh like a clown, beneath this mask I am wearing a frown' It goes without saying that each of us are daily performers, individuals of a thousand faces. We draw from an extensive psychological wardrobe often wearing a mask that goes against type. The mask can be very fragile. This was clearly the case with the woman in this story. A simple conflict involving a drop of water removed the face she was wearing (Oops, another Beatles' line 'Wearing the face that she keeps in the jar by the door'). Conversely, the face we wear when confronted with someone's we find uncomfortable, is removed in encounters such as the story relates. (Tut, here I go again, another Beatles line, 'Misunderstanding all we see, it's getting hard to be someone but it all works out'). A short story but one bearing volumes of insights that stimulate discourse (and Beatles' songs). Regards Dai

Falling in Love or Watching it (Short Story) - 3/6/2007 5:48:42 PM
A beautiful story of young love that will never be changed. I know because two years ago I lost my wife of decades, in death. I am once again very interested in a certain lady who acts as if she couldn't care less. Maybe she couldn't, but I don't want to hear that right now. but, I err... you're the writer and this excellently told story is yours. Sorry. - Bill

Blockbuster Woman (Short Story) - 3/6/2007 5:23:42 PM
Often times it is hard to see past the easy facade that surrounds the people we meet or work with daily until somthing happens such as you describe and we see how callous we can be. Loved this human interest story and also by the way loved your new profile picture you truly have a classic beauty that I can see why it is in demand. Fee

Blockbuster Woman (Short Story) - 3/6/2007 4:11:36 PM
Sharon - Reading this today is phenomenal. Why? Yours is the second instance in which a friend has seen a loud and brassy person fold their front and collapse into a ball of emotion. Is it possible that we are getting more adept at probing the paper shield that so many persons around us use? Your story is so concise and well written. It also tells me how kind and helpful you are in dealing with up front braggarts and bores. I trust that what you've written here will help both parties handle situations similar. Thanks for writing it. - Bill

What a beautiful picture of a man who has his heart on his sleeve.

Time Shadows Chapter One (Short Story) - 2/13/2007 2:33:21 PM
Fascinating story of the unexpected. Conflicts a plenty - church versus hinud beliefs, Jaqualine / Michele dichotomy, the MG, the odd behaviour of the woman and the slamming of doors suggest that there is more to this MG and the neighbourhood than meets the eye. Who is at the door? What role did she play in France and Germany? Enough tension to keep the readers attention. What is experimental psychology? I studied experiential, psychodynamic, biological and constructionist psychology - never heard of experimental unless it's a research kind? Regards Daibhidh

Shadows of the Night (Short Story) - 2/13/2007 1:41:26 PM
Segments of this reflection on the dream resonated with my experience of a dream long since laid to rest (I hope). My father was a very troubled soul in life and consequently I caught the tail end of his anger. In my dream, like the woman in this story, he appeared as a loving, smiling man- totally alien. Oddly, I derived comfort from it, and felt the dream aided reconciliation with his memory. Maybe that's why I haven't dreamt of him since. Do you have any thoughts on this? I was struck by your use of Dante, Satan and Judas within two short sentences - a very striking device for creating outer darkness atmosphere to the story. I enjoyed reading this. Dreams are fascinating. Incidentally, like the woman, I started smoking after a 21 year break - I got too close to a suicidal case for my own comfort - forgot principle of detachment - damn! Regards Dai

"Falling in Love or Watching it" has depicted the energies right... Waves, waves no word needed. When the wave one links with wave two, it is EUREKA! I have enjoyed the reading of "Falling in Love or Watching it". Thank You for posting Your treasures. I salute You, Poet. Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Falling in Love or Watching it (Short Story) - 2/9/2007 2:02:36 PM
Short but powerfully meaningful. In French it's called "le coup de foudre." Literally, it means "bolt of lightning. In English, it is "love at first sight." You've expressed this well here, Sharon. Thank you. Love and peace, Regis

Falling in Love or Watching it (Short Story) - 2/8/2007 6:40:27 PM
Isn't that the truth! I lost my heart when I was only 14. Too young, you say? Puppy love? Teenage marriages never last? Next month we celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary! Of course, I'm only hanging around 'cause I'm waiting to get my heart back. She's holding it there somewhere. Am I patient or what? Richard

Falling in Love or Watching it (Short Story) - 2/8/2007 3:50:13 PM
Ah, reminded me of me when I was first bowled over by a girl. As a 17 year old at the time, I fancied myself as a wandering minstrel. I took my guitar with me whenever a small group of us went to a party in Edinburgh circa 1972. I tried to serenade any girl with the stomach to listen. I succeeded once - but bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer came down on my head - meaning, I made a mess of the chat up lines! By the time I met the girl who became my wife , I had left the chat up lines to the girls and sacked the guitar - I could only play a minor George Harrison number anyway: For You Blue. This pithy short story triggered fond memories. Regards Dai

Author of the Month (Article) - 2/11/2007 9:14:46 AM
"Author of the Month" has prsented an interesting interview, which privileged the reader with an acquaintance with the background of the "Author of the Month". I wish that the book "TIME SHADOWS" ~ by Author Sharon T. Jordan ~ gets to THE NEW YORK TIMES' list with sales mark bestseller with a Million Copies sold before summer, (SORRY I AM MODEST.) and that it keep leading that list until her next book is out for sale. In cooperative attitude and admiration, Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

Blue Memories (Poetry) - 1/4/2009 2:27:34 PM
Blue eyes, the last thing I saw of my husband as he died. I can remember that day vividly Aug 17 07 and am glad I got to this poem 2 yrs too late. But you describe blue very well and it sticks with me and always will. I get blue but try to be positive and get into the yellow again.

Lost (Poetry) - 8/8/2008 3:49:00 AM
Such deeply reflective questions and the finality of the non-answer is heartbreaking. We can never take back the past sadly only learn from it. Welcome back Sharon it is good to see you posting again and with such an excellant example of your work. hugs Fee

Lost (Poetry) - 8/8/2008 1:48:01 AM
Sharon, Very sad and so filled with emotion. Unfortunately but funny your poem sort of reminded me of Frank Sinatra's old song, "My Way" We, as humans, are so weak and understanding our vulnerabilities is near impossible. In life we laugh, love, live and lose which is all part of the great plan ; Forget about trying to make sense of it all. Stay strong my friend. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

Grand-Pa (Poetry) - 7/20/2008 9:55:50 PM
Dear Sharon, All our memories are always with us and particularly when they are about our ancestors. They accompany us all the way throughout our path on earth. They fill us with strength and love. A nice and worthy poem. Love Emile

My Mother's Hands (Poetry) - 7/16/2008 5:01:15 PM
Hello Sharon, I read your poem,"My Mother's Hands". I found it very touching and it reminded me of my mother;who died much too young at age 47. Now I am even passed that age... and to be thinking about her like this is great nostalgia though,sad. Your other works look great too. Please feel free to visit my site here in the "Den"

Sharon, Would make a good song. Makes more sense than some of the music that's out there. Peace, Love and Blessings Always, Paul.

Oh Bugaboo (Poetry) - 5/13/2008 11:57:54 AM
This delight reminded me of a favourite Uncle who addressed me in his thick Lancashire accent - cf Palin's accent as the father of 42 children in Python's Meaning of Life - affectionately as 'Buggeroo'. Oddly, I found myself reviving the Ringo Starr hit from 1972, .Back of Buggaloo.' Now, where's his Best of...CD? Regards Dai
