Location, Location, Location!

No one was happy when the backhoes, chainsaws and earth shoving people showed up at the wooded area across from the old marina along the Georgetown riverbank in Jacksonville last year. My phone started ringing off the hook and emails dove into my inbox faster than a Peregrine Falcon pursuing a meal. People were desperately [...]

El Adios por Gema Moraleja Paz (Gen-möra)

El adiós
 
El adiós no es una despedida
siempre lejana, o tal vez
por los años olvidada,
es un hasta pronto
que se traslada en el tiempo
y abrazamos por el miedo
el silencio, y recurro a ti
como una hoja húmeda
acurrucada en los huecos
profundos del alma,
dejándose arrastrar a veces
por el suave frescor del
agua…
 
Suspiro profundamente
y ahondo más en los
sentimientos ajenos,
se plasman en la [...]

El mar rojo de tus ojos por gema moraleja paz

El Mar Rojo de tus ojos
 
Ensangrentada te he
visto, sumida en una
desesperante agonía,
no estés triste, todo es
temporal en esta vida.
Quítate el hielo, despierta
no dejes que maya te
atrape en su red de terciopelo.
 
Eres más que tus ojos
eres más que tu cuerpo
eres más que tu llanto
eres más que tu pelo.
 
No dejes que nadie te
asuste, ni te convenzan
de que [...]

Writing Television History: Which Shows to Write About

I recently completed a virtual tour for my book Thirty Years of The Rockford Files, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of The Rockford Files (NBC, 1974-1980) – an important show in the history of television, as well as an important chapter in the life and career of Emmy-winning actor James Garner. An interviewer for [...]

I am including it here at the Book’s Den as an invite for anyone with a book club in the Philadelphia/South Jersey region that enjoys mysteries/suspense/pyschological thrillers.  I, David H. Schleicher, would be willing to entertain any offer to come meet with a local group in this [...]

Characterization

On Characterization
Recently, I attended a conference and spent some time with a publisher/editor. She suggested that I repeat the presentation on characterization that I gave the year before at this same conference. She receives lots of manuscripts from authors who’d like to be published. One thing she says that she finds wrong with too many [...]

Boda entre el cielo y la tierra…. por Gema Moraleja Paz

Hace mucho tiempo existio una historia que fue pasando de generacion en generacion  como en casi todos los cuentos e historias del Planeta Tierra……los humanos pasaban las historias de boca en boca, de familiar en familiar,etc…. y conservaban hasta la muerte los secretos mejor guardados del Universo y el Cosmos.

Summer Book Club

Summer is just around the corner, the kids will be out of school and we are going to get busy with our summer plan schedules. But for book lovers around the globe it is the perfect time to select the books they want to relax with during this time of year. There is nothing like [...]

It’s the little things, stupid …

Worse than journeying into the land of Mordor is the voyage through the Swamp of Rewrite Hell.
Example 1: You’re on page two of rewriting and you suddenly realise that a minor character’s motivation – that you hadn’t given any thought to a year ago – suddenly becomes very important. Why would he be doing what [...]

H E R E D A D E S

Volveremos como extraños,
sólo reconocibles entre
los recuerdos, escondidos.
A rescatar lo que
de nosotros quedó atrapado.
No un recuerdo más sino
la madre de los recuerdos.
