A Choir of Ill Children by Tom Piccirilli


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wonderful, with lush scenery and strong characterization. Great plot, pacing and character development! Descriptions detailed so that you can almost feel them, and the prose is lyrical.

Interviewing Mike Lynch and Brandon Barr



WhenSkyFellWhen The Sky Fell (Silver Leaf, 2009)
by Mike Lynch and Brandon Barr

The year is 2217, and Commander Frank Yamane is the captain of the stellar cruiser, Corona, stationed at Titan. A battle-hardened man who has experienced a series of personal tragedies, Yamane is guilt-ridden over his inability to prevent the death of his beloved wife, Liana. Plagued with doubts regarding his ability to lead, he will soon face the ultimate crisis when an alien race known as the Deravans attack the Earth without mercy. Knowing he cannot stop them alone, Yamane has no choice but to seek the assistance of an enemy he helped defeat in a war ten years before. The problem is, Commander Yamane knows they have every reason not to come to Earth’s rescue.

It should be up Saturday, the 11th. Stop in and say hi, and don't forget to tell everyone.

husband back home!

woot!

He saw his Dr. today and the meds were adjusted. I got to bring him home. :D :D
He's sleeping now, and is more focused and in control; more like the guy I married. :)

Thanks you all for caring. It was nice to see the replies to my last post.

We've been married since 1982, so we have a long history dealing with his illnesses. It's cool that medical advances were available to help him. He didn't have any real help for so long; the meds we tried before this didn't do any good, but these seem to be giving him some relief.

tired. loooong day

spent the better part of the day getting my husband admitted to two hospitals. ugh. First his meds weren't helping him, so we started out getting him into a local crisis center. Then, during the final admission process, he spiked a b/p of 200/123. We got him to the local general hospital and admitted him to the E.R. They medicated him for pain and lowered his b/p, then released him.

Back to the crisis center, to admit him for a few days. This will fast-track him for treatment with his clinician. Rick has Bipolar Disorder, S. A. D. and Anxiety attacks.

Feels wierd with him out of the house.

Do you like your privacy? I bet you do. What about being able to read all kinds of stuff on the internet without having to hand over your credit card number -- do you like that, too? I bet that's another yes. But which do you like more? You'd better figure that out quickly, because, if you don't, Congress just might decide for you...
