Sheila ... Congratulations of the most sublime order for such an accomplishment as this. How cool can it be! It sounds quite exciting too, so i think that i will buy it and have myself a meal written by one of my buddies. i am presently writing the fourth and final novel in the Monumental Journey Series, 'Beyond Understanding', and find myself challenged to the max. I don't know what it is ... the first three I wrote in three years, and the last one looks like it's gonna take three years plus. SHEESH! Anyway ... i'm proud of you and hope that it will be your best seller. Warm regards ... Richard

Congratulations, Sheila! Love and best wishes, Regis (Reg)

Beneath the Surface (Short Story) - 9/5/2009 6:26:39 AM
Sheila, you wove this story with masterful threads -- stark, revealing, like the stab of a neon flash through the senses -- you let it unravel so precisely -- an intriguing write my friend -- Jon Michael

Beneath the Surface (Short Story) - 8/30/2009 12:55:57 PM
This keeps the reader enthralled from, beginning to end, I love the way you ended this uniquely instead of the same old last minute rescue you made it real...love it. fee

Beneath the Surface (Short Story) - 8/30/2009 10:03:40 AM
Quite the story, Sheila. It had me spell-bound from start to finish. Thank you! Love, hugs, and best wishes, Regis

Beneath the Surface (Short Story) - 8/30/2009 6:12:56 AM
WOW! From the mouth of the victim--and what a violent story, indeed. There probably are plenty of husbands out there like that and if they haven't resorted to murder yet, I imagine some have wanted to. You really put the punch in this story,Shelia.

Beneath the Surface (Short Story) - 8/30/2009 4:34:23 AM
This is such an impactual story Sheila. My emotions a collision for the experience of this perception. My stomach churns at the reality of its possibility. This whole accounting of a life lived, chosen to meet such a fiendish means to an end. And even in metaphor-How many of us die a little every day…torn & ripped apart emotionally by someone? This is a very emotionally gripping short story. I was like WOW!! Did I forget to mention tissues? Much Love & Inspirations Vickie

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 8/21/2009 8:51:35 AM
WHAT!!!!!!!!! There is certainely more to this Fine Fictional (who knows it could happen) story! RIGHT???? iN your book Shee, Which book??? I want it... Wow, you are GREAT at storytelling, something about how YOU LEAVE "NOTHING" Out... you add what you don't usually expect to see in a story as it unravels! I love Sci-Fi and I wanted that Orb, believe it or not, I have a plate (actually .2 we bought at Spencers at the Mall, years ago, we still have them on) there electrical plates/orbs. you could say, spheres and there sensor touch by your voice, one is GREEN (like Lightning abounded it's energy everywhere, and the other is Purple) the purple stays in our bedroom, right in front of our stand/beau re - Anywhooo, I love em' and I would have to replace them, if something happen to them, with music they get freaky! I love your sense of style of writing, whether it be Poems or Short Stories... Truly Amazing how you write and feel and imagine! Ok, I wrote enough, I liked it a lot! WRITE ON! Blessings and Peace, In a "Twisted Sweet and Crafty Mind" - As a book writer, you have to be - Warmly, Purple_Passions_Pulsing, SHEExooo

Hook, Line, and Sink Her (Short Story) - 8/21/2009 8:35:48 AM
I'm still reading but had to STOP! Shee, your writing is truly amazing... Craned his neck, cripes sake, now that's a an antique, I still say it now and then, Thanks Mom and shot back with enthusiasm- YOU writing style is truly different, you write like right in your face style. I like it! Great characters that take on a whole new meaning of old and crotchety... to the scenes and how they took place! Kept me wanting to read more, you added little comments that were important to this story, from their view points.. So relate able! Did I like it, I loved it! About Fishing too, lol WRITE ON! Blessings and Peace, Purple_Passions_Pulsing, SHEExooo

The Matryoshka Incident: Episode Number Two (Short Story) - 6/17/2009 1:58:34 PM
Excellent Paranormal Story Sheila! I Love The Characters & how your Mom was upset about being peeped on while in the shower & sand being spent onto the carpet again! The interactions of the ghosts & family is really awesome! Peace, Spiritual Blessings! Embraced~Embrassé Vickie

The Matryoshka Incident: Episode Number Two (Short Story) - 6/17/2009 10:28:50 AM
Your imagination knows no bounds, Sheila. This is a gripping account. Thank you for sharing it. Love and best wishes, Regis

The Matryoshka Incident: Episode Number Two (Short Story) - 6/17/2009 9:54:32 AM
Suspenseful and interesting! I was going to skip and skim, but once I got started, I just had to dig in deeper to find out what was going to happen. Threw me a bit with the sex inclusion, but today a book--or story--is not complete without a little sex. Good write, Sheila.

The Matryoshka Incident: Episode Number Two (Short Story) - 6/17/2009 8:07:13 AM
A riveting, clever, and thoroughly entertaining write that blends the horrifying and the sexual very effectively. I couldn't help but think, Sheila, that you've created, in this series, a new slew of characters for another 'Hell Boy' type movie. And not only that, I was reminded of my own characters in the Monumental Journey Series, Amalek Baaldur and Krystal Blackeyes. You will meet them in MJ2. Now ... as a side note. Interestingly enough, your choice of the color GREEN, (found between blue and yellow in the color spectrum) is multifarious in scope. GREEN is also a street term for KETAMINE, which, when taken in large doses causes hallucinations similar to those caused by PCP. So ... are these characters under the influence of a narcotic or is it really happening? I like that possibility. The commingling of narrative and dialogue in this is balanced nicely and is never overburdened with artsy descriptions and your players always stay in character. Also I like the insight you've developed into each characters mannerisms and quirks. Effectively keeps the reader in the moment, and in the surroundings, and also in the surging emotions. "I pictured a wolf in the woods, standing defensively over its kill." This is an efficacious image that supports the feeling of the scene admirably. Great work Sheilafriend! Blessings and love richard

The Matryoshka Incident: Episode Number Two (Short Story) - 6/17/2009 3:51:08 AM
Great write, Sheila, but personally the only ghost I believe in is the Holy Ghost! :) Well done! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

The Matryoshka Incident (Short Story) - 6/17/2009 3:50:05 AM
Wow, Sheila, I had no idea you wrote stories! I hope to see you do more of them! (This coming from a StoryTeller in Texas. :) ) Very well penned, and wow, those are some seriously purply walls! (Or are they blue? LOL) Well done; brava! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

The Matryoshka Incident: Episode Number Two (Short Story) - 6/17/2009 2:43:39 AM
Love it, as a lover of paranormal and mystery/horror stories this one ranks up there with the best. The first episode was good...this was great. You excelled. hugs fee

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 5/21/2009 6:26:15 PM
nicely penned short-short story ... suspensively engrossing ...

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 5/11/2009 6:25:49 PM
Enthralling, creepy-just like I like them. Excellent suspenseful write. Liz

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 4/25/2009 2:53:16 AM
Oh, so sweet and short. I look for short. A great story, very entertaining. Much to think about how the story could expand. I just wish you'd have submitted it in a more traditional font. It would have been easier to read. Thanks.

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 3/24/2009 7:52:11 AM
I think one of the rich wonders, and delights, we have being writer's is the license we've been given to go anywhere our minds take us. You do it well! And it does kinda happen like this doesn't it? Life, what we construe as normal, going through our (sometimes boring) routines, not expecting anything abnormal or sub-normal to happen and then ... WHAM! We become caught up in something completely unexpected. Some memorable moments in this riveting story dear Sheilafriend. And love the symbolism too. "she was a deer caught in the headlights." a perfect description! "as though it was a bird nesting" - good simile "Something gooey squirted her cleavage" - hmmmm .... now ... was it the orb or the invisible naked alien male in the throws of bliss? (-: Enjoyed this Blessings ...

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 3/22/2009 12:14:03 PM
Great write, and very interesting story!!! Sheila, I really like this!!! Sandie Angel :o)

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 3/22/2009 10:34:11 AM
Something gooey squirted her cleavage and slimed a trail deeper, toward the front clasps of her bra. Is this story rated G?

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 3/22/2009 10:14:32 AM
A gripping story, Sheila. Powerfully effective in capturing the reader's complete attention. Thank you for sharing. Love and best wishes, Regis

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 3/22/2009 9:51:57 AM
well Sheila Roy,it looks a though the orbs have taken over control of earth -- now it's time for an orb eating virus to attack those pesky little purple poison pots -- sci-fi and no happy landing-- a novel twist -- peace and love -- JMW

Rash Departure (Short Story) - 3/22/2009 9:44:51 AM
Shelia, your orb sure got my attention. I had to read to the end. But there is no happy ending, no super hero that saves the people of the earth--only the unwritten assumption that people will be annihilated. You did a great job writing this.

Hook, Line, and Sink Her (Short Story) - 3/6/2009 8:00:31 AM
The dialog in this story is done very well, and the characters come to life. I found myself in that kitchen. Good job.

YIKES! Imaginative and biting, and i hope that she is not some hidden part of your character. After reading this though i promise to bow politely and offer you a mint tea with free re-fills if i ever meet you. i think that you're correct; try to keep this away from yur daddy.

First I love this Sheila, it is so open and lovely. Secondly, singing has it's own vibrations, and when you sing you open your heart chakra, then you are open to amazing inspirations! That is what this poem does to your readers...Have a blessed ThanksGiving, sweetie. Much peace, love, and light, Amber "V"

Everyone Needs Inspiration (Poetry) - 11/23/2009 2:15:03 PM
Love how your thoughts wander and dance to tunes and moves of their own, Sheila! Once the soul is stirred, who knows who or what will share its harmony or follow its delightful steps. But the synchronicity is electric and exhilarating! Neat work your muse has accomplished through you here! :)) xx

You have made me understand and appreciate once again why I belong to two choirs with your beautiful poem, Sheila. Thank you for your gift. Love, hugs, and best wishes always, Regis

Everyone Needs Inspiration (Poetry) - 11/23/2009 11:59:28 AM
More people should sing, physically and spiritually. I must admit that the notion of Angels on assignment is something that has always comforted me. Especially when ego wars are raging, and the nefarious spirit of humankind begins hissing. Thankfully, real love conquers all. Delightful expression dear Sheilafriend! Blessings ... r

And don't you love it when the Muse decides to fly in a whole other direction! You're like, no, get BACK here, and she's saying, wait. Usually what she inspires is better than what you were going to write in the first place. 'Least for me, it is. LOL! This is absolutely beautiful, almost dreamlike. Well done, Sheila!

Compelling write from start to end; I have been told I write too many stories about disabilities. Well, I can't help it. Live with it every day, and I think more children's books should feature disabled characters as the main ones and not the butt of jokes or a minor "afterthought", as so many seem to do. It's my passion. Keep on writing, and I will read/review as I am able. Well done! (((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(
