Cracking Good Yarn

More twists in some tales,
peak and trough, allied suspense, 
layers of intrigue,
which kept one fixed to the page,
gotcha end plot a bonus.

Got the humor and found it to be not only intriguing but also educational. My father liked to tell a good tale when he was younger and I was younger. I enjoyed listening to older people talk and tell yarns about incidences that happened in their youth. Now I am of the older generation who might could tell tales. Sara K.

Your reviews of my work inspire me, Sara. They help me develope new and alternative approaches to writing. I also enjoyed your account of story telling and how it relates to your experience. Howard
