My novel on the Ellen Degeneres show!

Ellen looked at the cover and said, “Oh, this is a good […]

deep belief in love prevails
vicious dragons will be slain

I composed the above Tanka for a friend of mine a while back. She needed a place to curl up and to find comfort. Since we live several thousand miles apart, I could give her comfort only in […]

You Love Me

You love me – you say
in your arms I sway
because your eyes don’t lie
and I close mine with a sigh.
You need me – you say
letting your fingers play
and your lips whisper an oath
a promise to be kept by us both.
You want me – you say
unclaimed passion every day
under my skin white as snow
the fast […]

Book Review: A Brother’s Journey

A Brother’s Journey, Richard B. Pelzer, Warner Books, NY: Time Warner, 2005
It is not often that I am at a loss for words. Yet weeks after finishing A Brother’s Journey, I am struggling to find a way to describe the horror and sorrow the story evokes. Ordinary terms feel wrong. Children were tortured. […]

Writing Bug bit when I was 8. Little prize at 12, that was IT. Now, if I just had time to actually put the words swirling in my head on paper. But life is what it is. Laziness and reverberations from a chaotic childhood combined with pressures having to do with gender and class and time slipped past. I messed up, okay? Add normal distractions like marriage, parenthood, returns to school, juggling jobs. . .. . you get the picture. Got a bag of excuses, take all you like. . ~{P}~ By 1986. . .{contin'd at www.authorsden.com/phyllisjeangreen; thanks.}
