- In 1966, when I was ten years old, my dad heard the voice of God commanding him to give up his career in business and become a Christian writer.

We had many adventures, such as escaping out of Egypt right before the 6 Day War, smuggling Bibles into communist countries, and ...

- Well, after a mad rush out the door of my apartment in Sunnyvale, California, I find myself settling in nicely in Austin, Texas. What an adventure the trip was!Due to scheduling issues, I ended up taking a Greyhound bus from San Francisco to Los Angeles. If I had taken the Amtrak bus, it would have me arriving in Santa Barbara just 15 minutes before the train left, and Amtrak told me they ...

- Patina saw the bear before the bear saw Patina. Oh, m’God. Do I back up or run? No, not run. Could never outrun it. Her brain itself was racing. Her feet had not moved, yet in her mind she was fleeing down the long driveway at Olympian speed. Where was the dog? She could back ...

- I can't imagine any writer of fiction and certainly non-fiction that hasn't lived and experienced what he or she writes about. Logic tells me that, that is just a fact. I wonder what Boris Pasternak lived that he was so inspired to write Dr.Zhivago? I suppose in a few minutes in Wiki Internet search, I would know. Sometimes I think it is better to just wonder about things and leave it at ...

- Several times now, I have mentioned this book I have written, and my lack of luck in finding a literary agent, but to date have failed to mention that which inspired such a story. So, first, I guess I must say that it was a portion of my life that I have used within the story. Then, by bringing in the fiction, the imagination, and basing the novel on my knowledge of what I learned ...

- For so long now, I have attempted to put this book into the hands of a literary agent. I wish so much that they'd read more than just the first chapter or even the first five chapters. Anyway, you'll see me mention it many times in discussions, so here it is,,,,Chapter 1: Troubled Memories By: Raymond MalletteChapter one It was just another quiet day in a small ...

- "Oh my goodness, big brother! You've written your first novel in the first person. It may never sell like that." Funny isn't it? Rules. We always seem to have to have those rules. If it's 12:00 noon, we must eat because it's lunch time. Forget that we aren't hungry, it's the rule. What? It's eleven o'clock at night? You must go to bed. That's just what you're supposed to do. ...

- Repentance and redemption are close cousins. Often, repentance is only fully realized and satisfied when redemption is at hand. Such is the tale of Ghost Orchid, my next fiction novel soon to be released by L & L Dreamspell. This story of love, lies and redemption is really the story of a series of mistakes that lead to pain and loss among a small set of friends and family. The ...
