Jon Hetzel Book Reviews: February 2011

http://jonhetzelbookreviews.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Jon Hetzel Book Reviews. Sunday, February 27, 2011. THE SHAPE OF MERCY by Susan Meissner. This book captured my imagination with its promising premise. What was it really like for a young woman who had her future ripped away from her because of hysteria and the accusation of witchcraft? Written within the safety of a journal, what might she say? What is she hiding? I struggled a little with the ending and how the author justified a particular action as an act of mercy and love. Although I may not agr...

Deeper Mysteries: Have You Seen Your City?

http://sibellagiorello.blogspot.com/2012/07/have-you-seen-your-city.html

Saturday, July 7, 2012. Have You Seen Your City? I've said it before: I love a good hunt. Today The G-Men and I went on a scavenger hunt through Seattle. Sponsored by City Solve. The clues proved challenging, mind-bending and demanding of some good hard walking. We saw our city with fresh eyes and discovered previously unexplored parts of this hip, smart and frequently odd town. We also deciphered nearly all ten of our designated stops - with one kick-me exception. And for once, Seattle needed cooling off.

The Hell of a writer's own making, this version begins with a lot of pounding on the keyboard, hitting Erase, pounding some more, and then, some eight hours later, walking away from the computer vowing to never-ever- ever. Although written years apart, these two books bear some similarities. The Clouds Roll Away. Hit me with another gr...

Deeper Mysteries: Rest in Artistic Peace

http://sibellagiorello.blogspot.com/2010/12/my-friend-cynthia-died-yesterday.html

Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Rest in Artistic Peace. My friend Cynthia died yesterday. She left behind two gifted children, her husband Jon, and scores of families who took her art classes and fell in love. Y stands for Youngblood. I gave her name to a character in "The Rivers Run Dry." Fictional Cynthia Youngblood runs a homeless mission in Seattle's Pioneer Square. Not only was that something the real Cynthia might do, I wanted the world to meet her. What happened next still hurts. On and on it went.
