strong. It could also be that her background in the behavioral sciences, and the inner
workings of the mind, crept into the telling of "Journey."
----As to the "Lost Writing Series"
"Journey" is the first out of a collection of short stories, which will be available on Kindle.
In the literary creative vein, they are all different in both spirit and tone, a rare foray into
the imaginative, creative and psychological, in a lifetime of pragmatic and practical
writing.
After the choking accident, Regina was troubled by the reality that she had not yet
finished her work, most especially her writing. In the days and weeks that turned into
months, she had a growing realization that she could have very well ended up like one of
those sweet little ladies that nobody knew wrote.
The thing is, almost everybody who knows Regina knows that she writes. For many
years, she has earned her living as a word smyth--writing, editing and online publishing.
Nonetheless, for the most part, her creative efforts have taken a back seat to computers,
aerospace, politics, social and equality issues, and whatever other word needed flipping
or cause needed supporting.
Now, with a finishing stroke of the editor's pen, the "Lost Writing Series" is an unpacking
and updating of past writings, a return to the purely creative, the imaginative side of
writing.
For your reading pleasure. Each piece is an adventure into another place, time, or genre.
"Journey" is the first of that series. Look for the next in the Summer of 2014, something
about moonshine and revivals. Make no mistake, she is indeed from the Alabama hills.
Journey
The Lost Writing Series Book 1
Sexy, sarcastic, and on the pulpy side: Journey is a mashup, Gothic, romance, paranormal, horror, and
psychological introspection. Journey weaves story into story as it blurs, bends and severs the line
between love and madness: Sidney Alder, her devotion to her beloved, albeit psychotically challenged,
husband, the succubae who haunt her, and her imaginary lover, the pirate; her husband Lawrence’s
nonexistent grip on reality; the doctors’ determination to cure him; the romance novels of Miss Vickie;
and the dog, who knows what’s going on with the dog.
Okay, they are all nut cases, except the pirate, he is completely sane, he just happens to be a figment of
the women's imagination, all of them. The succabae are pretty cool too, well maybe not. And you really
have to watch the dog, as Sidney Alder, in her quest to save her beloved husband, travels boldly on the
path between stark raving reality — love glorious love — and madness.
Metafiction in the modernist tradition, the raw introspection in Journey is hauntingly romantic, darkly
poetic, and painted with a tinge of satire and dark humor.
