Interesting book review, and loved the excerpt! I want to know what happens next.

Seems I'm doing that a lot lately. <br /><br />And I think I'll go and do mine tomorrow, since I got tagged, and I'll take a page out of your book, Jimmy, if you don't mind. Finding someone out there that has not already been tagged is beyond my limitations. Still in edits, I'm not going to get them done hunting down peeps for this.Lorelei Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03294047277447613989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232628723576241448.post-69444881494554854622012-03-26T10:36:53.628-07:002012-03-26T10:36:53.628-07:00Oh, Jimmy, pick me!

Believe me, that subject matter was awful for me to deal with-- but I was writing a true historical event and didn't want to pull any punches. If and when it is adapted as a screenplay, I don't want to do more than suggest what is happening to the boys and not have it shown in detail. <br />I know exactly what you mean about Pet Semetary, Paul-- I've not seen the film, but it's impossible not to be horrified with what happens to poor sweet Gage. I can still picture the blood-filled ball cap on the road. Sometimes our stories come out of us and present us with disturbing ideas. I know a friend had to put the earlier version of my book aside a few years ago when his kids were little, but he's since returned and re-read it. He thinks it's great. I've also had readers who have lived through abusive relationships read and love it. It's a high compliment when an author manages to disturb people on a deeply personal emotional level, and yet they still love the writing. Tricky stuff!<br />Again, my humble thanks James, for these amazing comments on Base Spirits. See you out and about on FB and Twitter.... !!Ruth Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365934356823526283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232628723576241448.post-51147900503009844562012-03-26T05:50:31.882-07:002012-03-26T05:50:31.882-07:00Yahoo!

Glad you had a good birthday.<br /><br />As to Ruth's story, I've been pleased to get to know more about her around and about. But as a new father (with another little one on the way), I dunno. Not long after my daughter was born, Pet Sematary came up on our Netflix queue, but I had to push it back because I didn't think I could watch that scene (if you've seen it, you know which one). <br /><br />Not that I didn't love it, but I just couldn't imagine it. I find myself all sorts of newly sensitive these days. Just watched Shutter Island and was more stricken than I would've been three years ago. <br /><br />So I may have to wait for this one, but like Pet Sematary, I'll get to it, I'm sure. I trust your opinions.<br /><br />Hope you have a good start to your week.<br /><br />Paul D.
