A silly tale about a red squirrel scrambling on the gnarled boughs of the village’s oldest oak tree, stealing an acorn from a tree spirit to bury under a pupil’s desk. Imagine my surprise when every kid sneaked a peep under their desk.</span></div>

Through my teens I wrote jokes. Sold some to British comedians and my first was published in a magazine in 1969. At university I became a co-editor of the rag-mag, a dreadful collection of very funny, awful smutty and politically-incorrect gags. We’d gather in the bar and brainstorm until the beer ran out. That was nearly half a century ago and I still see those jokes. Uncredited, no royalties. It was for charities then, still is. During that time I studied geography, mathematics and literature. Struck dumb, me, when the lecturer read out loud William Langland’s </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Vision of a Fair Field full of Folk</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">.

I took my son on those hills a few years ago and the ‘sonne’ softly warmed our backs. I learnt the energy in words of sensual Show. Engaging the reader via all their five senses in every story. I read the great writers and they all do it. Even those science fiction and thriller books that the literati often overlook. Consider these two words from Kurt Vonnegut’s </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Cat’s Cradle</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">: ‘She gave him a perfumed hug.’ You know which two words.

Not really, but all teachers have to write masses of words. We talk about a target of 2000 words a day on our novels but teachers often achieve that when writing lesson notes, worksheets and above all, end-of-term reports. Most teachers hate that but writerly ones love it. It gives us the opportunity to be creative with an otherwise tedious activity. (assuming the school isn’t using computerized multi-guess reporting). One of my favourites: ‘The dawn of legibility in John’s writing revealed his utter incapacity to spell.’ Such chores honed my writing decades ago. </span></div>

I’d overheard the phrase wandering wood and thought what if a wood actually wandered? So, a botanist is trapped in a copse, animated by a spirit trying to stop her escaping.

His nose expected sour milk odours—a foolish bias, so his eyebrows arched with surprise as fresh air slapped his face from the open top windows. Even so, those reasons for individual travel, cocooned in his Ford, came to him—personal space, sublime solitude listening to opera. He sought the least offensive fellow traveller. The beard looked normal enough: its owner gazing through a demisted circle on the window as London glided past.</span></div>

Could be his new friend had defective hearing but more likely incredulous anyone had the temerity to strike up a conversation.

Suddenly, Forrister’s head received a blow from behind as a robust woman thrust her elbow over the seat. </span></div>

He hadn’t appreciated the rapidity of language development since he last used public transport. Contorted out of recognition. Forrister couldn’t participate.

He was awarded Fellow of the Royal Meteorological Society for his research into air pollution and microclimates and used his students as unpaid researchers to discover urban heat islands in Yorkshire towns and villages. He taught now-out-of-date Geography and IT to the ungrateful alive but escaped on his bike to write. </span></div>

Paladins was put together for a crime writer friend—Craig Furchtenicht and his wife—Henrietta—who at the time—was fighting a valiant battle against Multiple Myeloma. She has since lost that battle and writing the longer story was my way of remembering the smiles posted from a hospital room on Facebook as she struggled to keep those of us writers participating, in the game.</span></div>

<p dir="ltr">This anthology is a little bit different from normal romantic stories. There is no sex, because we wanted to attract a younger audience as well as the older crowd.</p>
<p dir="ltr">You can be sure to find hot kisses, and good plots in this book though, and I definitely recommend it!! </p>
<p dir="ltr">It's called Cupid's Arrow, and is available on Amazon and Kindle unlimited. It's so in print too.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Have fun, curl up in your favorite chair, and get ready to swoon!</p>

My connection with my family grew stronger. But then our family dynamics shattered when a driver, who wasn’t paying attention to the road, killed my younger brother. And the house we lived in was, or still might be…haunted. (More of a playful ghost, from what I remembered anyway.)</span></div>

<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="center" style="margin: 0px 0px 11px; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">When Writing: All
Those little details</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As a reader, or a writer, have you ever read something that
just seemed to be….missing something? Can’t put your finger on it? Grammar
looks good, plot seems okay….but…..just not quite feeling it? </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This has happened to me when I’m working on my own books, or
reading the unfinished manuscripts of others. Occasionally I’ll see it happen
in published works as well.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So, what on
earth am I talking about?</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Those missing details. That’s what I’m talking about. The
things that give the scene life.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">They
make the blood flow in the veins of your characters and the heart beat in your
plot. Don’t ever underestimate a well placed little nugget, even something
simple.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Example one: He swerved to avoid the car that veered into
his lane.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">OK, it’s to the point. Nothing really wrong here, tells us
what is happening, right? But does it draw you in? Does it make you feel what
the driver is feeling? If you can make you reader feel what the character
does…you’ve succeeded.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You will have a
reader that will turn the page to see what happens.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Example two:</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The
headlights shone into his face on the too dark country road. </span><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Is this car in my lane?</span></i><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Gripping the wheel with two large hands, his
knuckles went white as he swallowed and jerked his car to the left. Gravel
flying as his heart slammed into his ribs.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">
</span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The vehicle sped by, oblivious to the fact that they were in the wrong
lane.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Picking up the phone, he dialed
911.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">See the difference? Details. Add a couple of sentences and
suddenly you are there, in the car. Your heart is pounding and your mouth is
dry. The detail of the headlights, his internal thought coupled with the action
puts you in the scene, in his head.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is where you want your reader. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve heard writers say that they have trouble with
this.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Personally, this is what I do. I
sit and imagine myself watching this happen…or maybe it’s happening to me.
What’s the first thing you might notice? How is your body reacting? What is
your thought? What sounds do you hear? Is there a smell? </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Of course, then there is the issue of character
development.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The same method applies. In
order to create people that are real living breathing beings in your books, you
have to think this way. What kind of personality does he have? How does he
react in an emergency, or when he’s angry? How does this play off of the other
characters?</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What flaws does he have?
Writing the perfect man or woman won’t get you far. People want to read about
people that make mistakes, because they are real. They want to relate to your
story. They want to see themselves in your characters.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">However, remember one thing. Don’t take it to far.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Being overly descriptive of every little
nuance gets old.</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Page after page of
little details just won’t due. You must trust your reader to use their
imagination. Be descriptive, but vague. Let them carry themselves there in
their minds, TRUST THEM!</span><span style="margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Otherwise, they
will find themselves skimming and flipping pages to get past this never-ending
description of a bedroom and back to the plot. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 11px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And there you have it. Now that you know what’s missing…take
a breath and open that laptop. </span></div>

</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Hi, my name's Nicole. I'm a writer. I kind of make a big deal
out of that. Specifically, I'm a speculative fiction writer. That means I write
horror, science fiction and fantasy. I wrote a book called Broken Patterns, and
I sort of think it's the best fantasy book since Dragonriders of Pern.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Am I a little full of myself? Yeah, I'll admit it. Calling
myself a speculative fiction writer a hell of a mouthful.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
I also happen to be a professional author.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
I love the hilarity of that sentence, you know? A
professional author? I can't think of anything less professional, you know? I
mean, think about it.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
We make up stories and tell them to people for a living. We
have imaginary friends and they talk to us. Lots of writers, like myself, write
in our pajamas, on our couches, with a cup of coffee. We are the last people
you'd think of as professional. We're really just big kids, playing with our
imaginary toys.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Well, except that we don't <i>just </i>write in our pjs. We
also write in waiting rooms, at red lights, during our lunch breaks. We write
before our kids get up and after they go to bed. We write while other people go
to the movies and go to bars and, you know, sleep.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
We have to write in all of these times because most of us,
including me, have day jobs. I have a full time day job, in fact. We write
around jobs, school and families. In fact, a lot of us write around all three
of those things at the same time. (Not me, though. I just have a full time job
and two kids. Oh, and also a husband and too many pets.)</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
We weep over our writing, did you know that? We kill of your
favorite characters, yes. But they were our favorite characters long before you
ever heard of them. Characters don't just exist for us, they live inside our
minds. Killing one is gut wrenching.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Of course, the rough draft is only half of it. Once it's done
we start in editing. We edit, edit and edit some more. We edit our work until
it glows. Until we could repeat the stories from memory. And sometimes we feel
like we do that.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Usually, that whole repeating it from memory comes when we
start promoting our work to everyone. Have you ever worked in sales? Imagine
that, but all the time. The thing that makes it better and worse at the same
time is that you feel like you're selling a part of yourself. So you really
believe that everyone needs what you're selling, but you're also taking every
rejection hugely personally.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Finally, when we're done with a book, we start all over
again. Because writing's an obsession, one that we cannot escape.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
So professional writer is kind of a ridiculous thing to call
us. It's better to call us what we really are.</div>
<div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
