Have you read"The Elements of Style"? If yes, did it change your writing?

Creepy, sure. But they're a lot more than that. Jay's books will transport you the way the best books often do ... to different places, different times, to menace, mayhem and, maybe, a little redemption along the way.

Well, Jay @jaycparker.bsky.social pulled out all the stops, showed no mercy for his protagonist or other characters. With a generous hand he dished out macabre, peppered with witty exchanges. I could neither predict what happens next nor could put the book down. Well done! I enjoyed it! 👏

Just got my first written review! This kind of thing makes up for a lot of the effort that goes into writing! #booksky 📚💙🌶️ #writingcommunity #bwg a.co/d/hD0ctnj

There's a story to this. Here's the missing link. www.jaycameronparker.com/post/fix-you

What could be better than a slow summer afternoon with “The Phantom Affliction” by @jaycparker.bsky.social , its unexpected twists and sassy characters

Anyone familiar with this guy? I got one for Christmas back in nineteen hundred and sixty four. I kept him for years and probably threw him away sometime in the early 90s. ( He was falling apart. ) I've thought about him often. Last week I found this one on ebay in great shape.

I started a new life 11 years ago today and it was the best thing that's ever happened to me and my family. Had things not turned around when they did it know i wouldn't be here today. Every day I'm grateful to God, my family, and friends. I cherish my life.

In the last two days I attended two movie premiers of a couple of films I was in. #lashortsinternationalfilmfestival ##mudwormfalls #RegalLa #wisteriatheater

The last year and half has been an oil spill and I haven't done much to promote my last novel, but here's a pretty good review. wp.me/p3cyvH-AZJ

Did I share my photos of Hearst Castle? Here they are.

The new seven dwarfs are nightmare fuel.

From Los Angeles: Most of the stuff being shown is from a small section of our city. The first couple of days, it was different angles from the same intersection. Protests for the most part are peaceful, and take place in many places throughout Los Angeles County with no problems.

Reading a book about Jim Jones. I keep thinking, "this sounds like a church i used to attend."

Something to think about this Memorial Day. www.jaycameronparker.com/post/some-th...

These are the books I've written and are now on sale. This past year has been a journey that has thrown my writing time out the window. Working on some marketing may help me get out of my rut and back to the laptop. Hope all of you are well!

I showed my "Mother- in-law this photo of me. She said," You were so young and thin back then!" The photo is two weeks old.

I've finally left the other, taken a shower, and now I'm here. So good to see so many familiar people!

My poem, Disappearing Acts, is an extended metaphor written as a high five to every woman who’s ever had it UP TO HERE with a bad relationship, claimed her power and changed her life for the better. It will appear later this month in The Afterpast Review. theafterpastreview.com

She loved The Wizard of Oz. I was terrified of the flying monkeys & the sand slipping through the witch’s hourglass. She hated Peter Pan. I liked that children could open the window & fly away whenever they wanted. We wanted acceptance. What we got were labels and lies. ~DAUGHTERS OF CAIN #wip

New to Bluesky and looking for old and new bookish friends. The more the merrier, book bloggers and reviewers, authors, publishers, bookshops etc.

Down in the valley, the lights of the dairies try to fool you into believing you aren't alone out here. They twinkle as mirages of light and nothingness fading into the stark truth of another long day on the mountain.

I am querying a 93k psychological suspense PILLARS OF GOMORRAH. The clues about her husband’s mysterious past lead a haunted young widow to a hunting lodge encircled by ghost towns. Surrounded by armed men, all tied to the same polygamist family, will her search prove deadly?
