About Me

The Parasitorium: Parasitic Sands is now available on Lulu.com. It contains my story, Shadow Play, plus a number of other members of the yahoo group, The Parasitorium, who contributed to this second group anthology. A very small excerpt from Pamela K. may be found on MySpace here . here .

AN EXCERPT FROM MY STORY, SHADOW PLAY:


Frank let Gazelle drag him into the dark alley between the Celtic Bar and her father's mall. All things considered, it was a small price to pay for being engaged to an heiress and the wealthiest girl in town. Not that she wasn't a looker, though that helped; the point was that she had money and he didn't, not until after the wedding.
The storefront looked like the shop had been abandoned for years. The yellowed "Going Out of Business" sign, frayed and crackled, seemed as if it would crumble into dust if you breathed on it. Most of the storefronts shared the same dilapidation. No wonder they were condemned. The hand- scrawled sign over the door read "Granny's Place." From what little he saw past the sign and the boards, the store had been closed for quite some time.
"Are you sure it's open?" Frank asked. "This place looks like it's been closed for years."
"Peggy told me about it." Gazelle smiled at him and put her hand on the doorknob. It seemed to open even before she turned the knob. She drew him behind her into the shop before he had a chance to take a breath. The door closed behind them with a final click.

Mine is one of nineteen tales of terror at the beach, available in the anthology. For more information, visit Lulu.com. http://www.lulu.com/content/643131

I'm networking with other writers, especially for National Novel Writing Month and other NaNos and writing challenges, and with my friends from other places.
If you want to friend me, then please tell me who you are, and why you want to friend me.

Writer, armchair philosopher, sister, mother. I gave up being a granddaughter 3 years ago, and surrendered the status of daughter 5 years ago (it's 15 September 2006--the Ides of September, for the curious, and to provide a period framework for y'all). My daughter's 21 this year, so technically, although she qualifies as my daughter, she's not a child, per se.

BTW, I will unequivocally deny any invitation to join a webcam group. I have enough time wasters, I don't need to add porn to the list, thanks (not that all are porn, mind you--but the ones that aren't are my friends, and not complete, total, and utter strangers).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

A nice BK Whopper at this point. *g* Fries, maybe a shake. Ah, well, I'll have to settle.

EDIT: Screw the Whopper, darn it. I want sushi.
Which Avatar Character are You?
Find out @ Distant Horizon .

BTW, what's a ghost's favorite meal? Spook-ghetti.
What's a Trekker's? Spock-ghetti.
I'd better quit while not decapitated right? I mean a-head, of course. ;-)

Benson, Arizona

Remember the movie "Dark Star"? Hehe. Nothing on the "watched or listened to" thingies, so it ain't anything you'd find on Amazon (umless it's the movie "Dark STar").
