I just returned from my Thanksgiving trip late last night. I was able to visit with all my children, which meant I spent a lot of time with my four grandchildren. I was so-o-o-o very thankful! It also meant I did not read so I'm depending on your input for our Tuesday Twosome today. Got something you'd like to share? Let us hear from you and we'll try to wake up from our Thanksgiving stupor and say something intelligent and creative about your selection.

This week, I'm reading Philip Cioffari's JESUSVILLE.
In the story, a cult figure, Joshua Farley, who disappeared under mysterious circumstances and an hallucinogenic plant purported to help you see God have brought together group of desperate people in the New Mexico desert. Here are a few lines from the prologue:
Here the sun beats from skies of the purest blue.
In the radiance of day, under the glorious and constant stare, you might believe all things possible, that there is benevolence in the design of the the universe.
Nights though...nights you lose your faith.
Here are a few sentences from my WIP:
He turned and faced the floor to ceiling mirror that covered the wall opposite his desk. A good-looking, well dressed man with a confident and secure demeanor stared back. Jimmy shot his cuffs and straightened his tie. It was time to play the slightly obsequious host. Even if it killed him. Or her.
Sounds good, Cathi. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, Leigh. I'm with you in Nadaville. Cathy, very nice selection and lines by you though!
Leigh, it sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving. Mine was as well.
My writing time the past weeks has been consumed by reading proofs of "Damned If You Don't." However, I did steal some time to read Janwillem van de Wetering's "Outsider in Amsterdam." Here are three lines:
"The house had a body in it, a dead body, suspended. The body was bound to be turning slowly. Bodies, suspended by the neck, are never quite still."
