It was for this reason that we all yearned in our middle-aged way for the tale of love which we expected from young Richard. He, on his part, repeated the hope that by the time his turn to tell a story was reached we should be tired of stories and prefer to spend the evening at the card tables or in the music room.

She fed the grass into the stove bit by bit, absorbed in the task, the firelight falling on her face, a broad, strong face, full lips, and darkly brown and red with wind and sun. Her black eyes were shining in the light, very clear eyes, set straight beneath her brows. It was a face not beautiful but passionate and good. One would say, here is a quick-tempered woman but warm wife and mother and kind to an old woman in her house.

Imagine embracing your mother one day, then having no memory of her 24 hours later... That's how thirteen year old Marie's story begins in the spring of 1968. Each day her father, James, visits his wife's empty grave, convinced she was the victim of a vicious bear attack. Marie's memory impairment forces him to endure his grief silently, constantly reliving the horrifying incident - his wife literally torn from his daughter's arms, with no trace of her ever found. But this strange disappearance is only too common within the 220 square-mile tract of bewitched woodland they live next to, known locally as Spellhollow Wood - the last remaining ancient growth forest in all of North America. Even now in 2013, it is a place tucked away in obscurity. And of course there was no bear attack. With the aid of a mysterious boy, Perion, and a homeless girl named Courinn, Marie discovers the truth about the mother she has no memory of.

This highly controversial, imaginary "handbook/guide" for any with determination enough to combat EVIL with an exclusively GOOD-doing life is, I’m "told," intended as a primer for a single-gendered species of female sentient beings (or the surviving half of a previously 2-gendered race), who somehow know of it and are awaiting its completion. Supposedly, to be in time for their exodus to a pristine planet where they will be enabled, with this Guide’s help (how acquired, I’ve no idea!), to establish a way of life that EVIL cannot taint. Suspend your disbelief for a bit and see what a peaceful world could be like, if single-genered humans of the female persuasion were running it. Love and hugs, maïa

From the offbeat mind of Tina Collins, Sing The Blues is an assortment of horrific accounts of fictional beasts and demons. These stories are not told with a sense of goodwill or pleasure. This is true horror; the kind of lives you wouldn't even wish on your mother-in-law.
