It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood

Bon Joir!  (and you thought the only French I spoke was “Moi“)

Ah Literati!  A reminder that while my close friend and associate Stephen Cobert has Nation  and my pal Rush Limbaugh has Ditto Heads, I ( moi) have Literati! (that would be vouz)

And so, Literati, I thought every few days I would show you around my neighborhood, here in Oceanside. The towers that ARE A Word with You Press are four short blocks to the beach.

“The tide goes in

and the tide goes out

but the beach stays sand and the sea stays salt.

It is the sand and the salt that I’m writing about”

I can’t stroll to the beach (which is part of my rich ual each morning) without passing by The Cup . The proprietor, Cailyn, is shown here mixing up the medicine.

Send me a picture of you walking in your neighborhood with a few LITERARY comments and I will put it up on line.

Thorn founded A Word with You Press in 2009, having Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, picking up stray stories along with way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, having at last discovered paradise, it’s not likely he will stray too far from his adopted city of Prague. He has helped hundreds of writers reach their potential, including best-selling authors and award winners. He is the author of Fire in the Belly: How to write your novel with Purpose and Passion, Almost Avalon, The Boy with a Torn Hat and The Courtesans of God saga, and multiple anthologies.
