MLIA by Leigh Lundin Like Rob, my CB odometer rolled over to 200 today. Amazing when you think how many novels these words could fill, but even more amazing is the knowledge we might touch hearts and minds.

BOWLED OVER by Leigh Lundin Earlier this week, I read news about a freshly minted teen tenpin champion that suprised me as I read his story.

What? paraprosdokian A figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is […]

LITERARY NEWS by Leigh Lundin Lots of news is happening in the world of writing. Let’s get started. The Visitor Nevermore? For six decades, a mysterious visitor left roses and a bottle of cognac at Edgar Allan Poe’s grave in Baltimore. However, for the second year in a row, the phantom mourner failed to appear, […]
