Some of you may know that I have participated in the NaNoWriMo challenge for two years now (2015 & 2016). I took up the challenge last year because I needed something to give my mind a project with a deadline and participating brought me some sanity. I decided to accept the challenge again this year because it seems it makes an excellent motivator for me and my writing. Anyway, I was sitting here musing about my book and thought I’d share a few thoughts with you.  Continue reading →

Blurb:

Deathtrap: A Thriller in Two Acts by Ira Levin (1978)

Theatre | Comedy | Mystery5-starsMy attempt at a Brief Summary:

Act One. A murder is committed. A play is written about the murder committed. Act Two. A play is written about a murder to be committed. The murder is committed. A play is written about a murder committed over a play about a murder committed based on an actual murder committed.

Tough to describe but it’s a comical thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat caught between laughter and terror!

Theatre | Comedy: Farce 4 StarsBlurb:

“Oscar Wilde’s madcap farce about mistaken identities, secret engagements, and lovers entanglements still delights readers more than a century after its 1895 publication and premiere performance. The rapid-fire wit and eccentric characters of The Importance of Being Earnest have made it a mainstay of the high school curriculum for decades.  Continue reading →
