An Article by Michael Agliolo

            Every time I walk by the book section at a store, I imagine my books on the shelves with the words, “New York Times Best Seller” above the titles. Then, (when the vision slides away like a morning dream) I think about putting them on the shelf myself and standing further down the aisle to see if anyone picks them up. But I don’t have the time (I’m in the middle of writing another book).
As I walk on over to the next aisle my mind wonders, “what if someone picks up my book and just walks out of the store.” I’m torn. On one hand, they wanted my book bad enough to risk getting caught stealing it, and on the other, they’re a thief. Read More

The Evolution of the “F” Word. By Karen Hood-Caddy

 

The Evolution of the “F” Word. By Karen Hood-Caddy

 

Being a writer, I love words. So, of course, the ‘F’ word has always fascinated me.

If I told you not to say the “D” word, or the “L” word, or the “W” word, you wouldn’t know what I was talking about. None of these single letters have the power to catapult you to a particular word the way “F” slams you into the word “F*ck.” The only single letter that comes close is the “C” word, but a person who uses it might be referring to a life-threatening disease or an intimate part of the female anatomy, so there’s confusion. The “F” word has no confusion. Read More
