When a member of the SCENIC WRITER’S SHACK alumni does something great, well… it’s time to wheel out the vanilla-slice pastries cart and pop the champagne corks.
U.S author Diana Webb placed 2nd in last year’s SCENIC WRITER’S SHACK short story competition. Now she has written an intriguing just-published novel.
Set in the early 1980’s, LAST OF THE AUTUMN RAIN tells the story of insurance underwriter Julie Cromwell as she journeys back to her childhood home in search of answers to mysteries and secrets that have defined and encircled her adult life.
Dirty huge congratulations Diana, from SCENIC WRITER’S SHACK.
Here’s a LINK to Diana’s website, where you can explore more of her exalting creative universe, so to speak. (You’ll see what I mean if you visit).
And the winner in this year’s STEVIE NICKS LOOK-A-LIKE COMPETITION goes to…you guessed it… Diana Webb!
Congratulations, Diana! “Uncanny and sometimes frightening life”? You had me at uncanny. I can’t wait to check it out. PS: The hat is great! And Glen, good job eagle-eyeing the Stevie Nicks similarity. It’s…uncanny. 🙂
Glad someone agrees. Most importantly, let’s see if Diana agrees (in the comments) In the meantime, there’s this…
Side note: the chugging 16th-note guitar riff that fills the first eight seconds of this song before the lyrics start, just saying… I could listen to it all day!)
Glen Donaldson for President!
Glen Donaldson for President?
I am lost for words.. so I will paraphrase the one and only Snake Pliskin by way of reply –
Thank you so much! Kudos!!! Especially to Scenic Writer’s Shack for their fabulous way of unlocking creativity to make the world more fun than a news quiz!!!
Oh, I got it now. When I go into your blog on my laptop and it won’t let me log in so I can’t like or comment, when I switch over to the WP Reader, THAT’S when I become anonymous. On my laptop. No idea why. No rhyme or reason. shrug
Tech? Love it or loath it. Both actually, in equal measure.
I, too, had my digital communication briefly silenced by a rogue pixelated kraken, which tangled my internet in its tentacles. But now I’m back!
Great news, Glen. Obviously, you’re a good judge of writing talent. Pass my congrats on to Diana, please.
Hi Stuart!
Thankyou so much for your comment.
We’re all still waiting for Diana to jump on here and respond.
Am hoping she will read your comment.
Of course I’m jumping in to comment!! Now it’s time for a road trip! Your wisdom and depth is a rarity and a gem!
Love that Stevie Nicks song. Riffs indeed! When Jack Black is dancing to it in School of Rock I fall over laughing every time.
This is Stacey, btw, turned into anonymous again on the laptop.
I had totally forgotten about this scene. Jack Black’s character sells the field trip idea to the conservative, tight-as-a-drum head teacher with a little help from Stevie Nicks. Heart fluttering and so, so cool.
The way Joan Cusack nerdily drinks the beer and then physically startles when those first guitar cords come on the dukebox has me smiling every time.
