    If child abuse was paranormal it would be easier to understand

    If child abuse was paranormal it would be easier to understand

    Thanks. The part of the most recent book review that I appreciated the most was not the comparison to Kurt Vonnegut. It was: "You find yourself convinced that “Hollow” was written as a diary-based autobiography by a young girl, and the banal stems from the limits of her environment, the...

    If child abuse was paranormal it would be easier to understand

    Nothing paranormal was attributed with "causing" child abuse in the novel, Rarity from the Hollow. As Night Templar and Death Omen, both experienced in the field (thanks for your contributions), aptly noted, there is no excuse for abusing a child. There may be correlates relevant to...

    Rarity from the Hollow is free for Kindle Fire members on Amazon. Both the ebook and paperback (Lulu) have declined. I'm not sure if the hardback is still available through Dog Horn Publishing as its owner has been so involved in another project that I haven't heard from him for several months.

    Any contact info for purchase. Crap, it's too late to order now. That would be a perfect gift for my wife. She's 66. Last year I got her Lady Gaga Tee Shirts (and some other stuff, of course). When we first met, she had on a shirt similar to the above stocking (and no bra). I loved those...

    Forum Game Everything HIPPIE!

    My novel (see introduction thrread for sample) would be loved by old hippies since I am one. This status is one that can't be faked effectively, even though I sometimes see, or work with teens, who are wearing their parents old clothing. There's so much misunderstanding about those times.

    Sorry, I will keep trying but I've only gotten the font to enlarge on the book review excerpt. How do you get private messages?

    "Where's he live?" Lacy Dawn pointed to the sky with her free hand. "Jesus is everybody's friend," Faith said. "It ain't Jesus, you moron," Lacy Dawn turned around to walk home. “His name’s DotCom and….” Her mother watched from the middle of the road until both children were safe.
