Thursday Thoughts: Universal POV

Posted on August 5, 2021 by Silver James

So…writing hasn’t exactly been easy-peasy for…oh…quite awhile now. Writing was something I always did. If I wasn’t writing, I was thinking about writing because the stories were all there, milling about in my head just waiting for me to jot … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Bleeding Heart

Posted on July 28, 2021 by Silver James

The #1lineWed theme is **BLEED**. Considering the current plot point in the Mob Wolves WIP, it was a natural and gave me some awesome inspiration. I’m in Chapter 3 and the O’Hara faction is moving to…consolidate, let’s say, the Mob … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Not a Cloud in the Sky

Posted on July 14, 2021 by Silver James

The sun is shining, the birds are singing and the Irish contingent of the Moonstruck Mafia series is jabbering away in my head. I don’t see a **CLOUD** in the sky to rain on their parade, despite the fact that … Continue reading →
