PRAISE FOR THE DOZY AND DISTRACTED! Sweat trickles down my back as I haul away at weeds in my yard. I glance up at my neighbour reading on his deck above me. He spends hours a day, every day, in the same place doing the same thing. I frown and grumble to myself. If it wasn’t for the seeds from his weeds wafting across the street, my job would have been a lot easier this summer.

Author Archives: T.J. Akers. When Books Become the Enemy. My son is college age now, but there was a time many years ago when I thought he would never pick up another book. I read to my son from his toddler‘s years through the third grade to help him learn to love reading, but when he started refusing to read around the fifth grade, I had to take matters into my own hands. A quick visit to my local library had me checking out an audio book of Lemony Snicket’s. Thankfully he had a wonderful reading teache...

Decorating the Real and Fictional Worlds. By Cynthia T. Toney. On June 10, 2015. Maybe it’s because I spent a number of years working as a decorator, but description of settings in a novel is important to me.

SLANT THEMES: THE TOOL OF CHOICE TO DISPLAY WORLD VIEWS. If you really think about it, it’s not kids that buy books (at least most of the time it isn’t). Yes, I remember book ordering day when we purchased books from Scholastic, and then there were book fairs. The money didn’t come from me, it came from an adult, and I always had to give an account of the book I wanted to get. That can be another matter. Ethics Sign Shows Values Ideology And Principles. It is the secondary or tertiary theme that runs in ...
