A humorous book for children (ages 9-13 years).Sid and his family are regular people except for one thing - Sid is a spider. Yeah, yuck! Get over it! I'll have you know he's just like you and me… apart from the fact he's an insect, eats lemon meringue fly, his mum wears four pairs of slippers instead of one and she's never heard of David Bowie but no one's perfect.Sid's dream is to become an astronaut, just like his dad, but when Sid finds himself trapped inside a state-of-the-art shuttle and about to blast off into space, Sid wonders if he's cut out for space travel after all.Meanwhile, back on Earth, Sid's mum has got her legs full, all eight of them, untangling hair extensions that went horribly wrong.I have a TV programme to thank for Sid’s emergence. Back in 2007, I tuned into a show about supernatural animals believing I was about to learn about four-legged ghosts. I’m already interested in the two-legged variety so I sat there ready and waiting only to discover the title was a play on words. It was still interesting though. Especially when they explained how, with the assistance of warm weather thermals, spiders nearly get to fly in space. I thought what a jolly good idea for a story. Sidney was born, and the rest is history.Snuggle down and enjoy yourself reading all about my boy and his escapades.Happy reading,Rosie. Views: 687

"The War Raged On" is a short story depicting a Civil War battle told from the alternating view points of Union soldier Jeremiah and Confederate soldier Samuel as destiny leads them to the same place at the wrong time.They say misery loves company but that’s not my motive. My probably-already-cold corpse doesn’t need to steer you (dead) wrong. I’m confident there’s plenty of “company” in the Rings of Purgatory, where I’ll spend eternity - no doubt insufficient prayers will be going up for me. But imminent death wouldn’t have been my fate if I could have just faced reality.If I could’ve remembered the old, “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is,” (maybe had it tattooed somewhere I could see it easily and often) chances are I’d have more just a few months left on earth.But who can resist quick, easy, money, especially when their credit card statements look like mine? Even now, on the computer, beautiful people in banner ads are practically crooning my name, promising a better-paying career, or shadowing me with flickering visions of stuff I’ve window shopped for (but need a better paying job to pay for!). So, back in June with that Vegas bartender? After a few sips of something he concocted, I was all eyes and ears.And all you need to know, to stay safe out there, (or anywhere) is: stick with the bottled drinks. 'Cuz his blasted strawberry slushy recipe turned him from a half-blood hound, into a garnish-skewering, paper-parasol wielding demi-god of pre-mature death.They say, live and learn. I say, learn from me and live longer. Views: 687
