Lisa Street Rogers1 Comment

If you’ve been following this blog for the last few months, you know I began writing my life story. Well, my life story so far, anyway. It seems simple enough, doesn’t it? We know ourselves, we know our stories, and we know the chronological technical details. But, somehow, when you sit down to write it…well,…… Continue reading Write Your Life Story – A Guide to Writing Your Autobiography and Tips on How to Get Published from The Learning Series by Nancy Smith (Book Review)

Philip K. Dick’s The Man in the High Castle is a dystopian alternative history look at the world in 1962, imagining that the Allied forces had lost the Second World War. The book, published in 1962, is the inspiration behind Amazon’s current running show by the same title (which, by the way, is amazing if…… Continue reading The Man in the High Castle by Philip K.

The year is 1992 and media coverage focused on the U.S. Presidential Election, the L.A. Riots, and Amy Fisher. These headlines dominated, but there was another story, and now over twenty years later, it is available in book format. It is the story of a disgraced cartoonist and a man who works at a landfill.…… Continue reading Thirty-Three Cecils by Everett De Morier (Book Review)

The action begins in an instant and keeps an undulating pace. Like all good stories, the first line grabs you, yet it is a little too fast-paced for my taste, as it takes until the middle of the first chapter before I feel caught up with the story.  But, the grip I now find myself…… Continue reading Cherokee Dream by V.C.

Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (Guest Review)

Lisa Street Rogers1 Comment

Nineteen Eighty-Four is probably the most iconic piece of dystopian fiction to date. Unlike some modern examples of the genre, George Orwell’s classic focusses more on the internal struggles of the protagonist than the external struggles of the people. We begin our story with protagonist Winston Smith. He is just an average, middle-aged man working…… Continue reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell (Guest Review)
