LitStack.com: Banned Book Week

 

For the three people who read this blog, you know George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four is one of my all-time favorite novels. Since it it was published, it's also been banned for various reasons by various people. Since last week was Banned Book Week, I thought it would be a great time to show off a college paper I did on the book. I thought it held up pretty well. Take a look and let me know what you think.

LitStack.com Staff Pick: New Genres by Your Favorite Author

 

I'm a big fan of the author Chuck Wendig. If you've read this blog, you know I participate in some of his Flash Fiction Challenges and I reviewed his book Blackbirds. My latest offering to LitStack involved the scenario What Genre Would You Like to See Your Favorite Author Tackle. Not sure if erotic torture porn is do-able, so I decided on Westerns. Read it HERE.

LitStack.com: Favorite Genres

 

This week's Staff Picks at LitStack.com is our favorite genre. Everyone else picked their favorite genre to write.

Anyway, based on the pic, you can see I wrote about historical romance. Click HERE to read it.
