"The Grammar Devotional" free PDF excerpt /  by J.C. Hutchins

Let it be said that I unabashedly crush on Mignon Fogarty, aka Grammar Girl. It's not a "come hither" kind of crush (though I hope she won't mind me saying that she is a knockout) ... it's a creative crush, a crush fueled by absolute admiration and amazement for what she does, and how danged easy she makes it look. Grammar Girl's podcast is one of the most popular indie 'casts in the Milky Way galaxy, and for good reason: Each week, she provides invaluable advice on how to become a better writer. She tackles such pesky issues as "affect vs. effect," "who vs. whom," the particularly stymieing "that vs. which" and so much more. Regardless of your professional field, her show will improve your communication skills.

She's also the brains behind the Quick and Dirty Tips network, a website thriving with other podcasts filled with equally awesome advice. Plus, she's a New York Times bestselling writer; her Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing book was released to stellar acclaim last year, and still dominates several writing-related catagories at Amazon.com.

The best part? Mignon is back with a NEW book, which promises to deliver some killer advice: The Grammar Devotional. What I've read of this book is stellar, packed with resonant, practical advice for writers of all skill levels. If you're keen to polish your wordherding skills, this is a must-buy. In fact, here's the book's Amazon page. Go get 'em, tiger.

Want to give some of Mignon's daily tips a test drive before you buy? I've gotcha covered. Dig the link to the PDF below; there, you can download a month's worth of the books daily tips, for free. If you find it as helpful as I did, you'll click that Amazon link and snag a copy.

There are few authors I endorse without hesitation. Mignon Fogarty is one of them. Check out The Grammar Devotional, support her work, and become a better writer in the process! Everybody wins!

Anyman EP Track 3: "Winter Love" /  by J.C. Hutchins

"Winter Love" is the third of six free folk songs from Anyman, written and performed by John Smith, which will be released on a weekly schedule here at JCHutchins.net.

While a link to more songs was mentioned in John's 7th Son: 7 Days prequel story, J.C. wanted to provide all five songs to all 7th Son fans ... with a bonus track on the sixth week. Miami resident John Smith, a character in J.C.'s upcoming thriller 7th Son: Descent, is a man who dreams big ... but lives a small life. Determined to change his life's course, he recorded a five-song EP titled Anyman, and posted it to the Web. This occurred two weeks before the events seen in 7th Son: Descent.

Lyrics for this song appear beneath the audio player. Learn more about 7th Son: Descent’s print novel release here. Order your copy today.

"Winter Love" Lyrics

Don't gimme that bit about
"Every thing in its season"
That's only numbers and blocks on a page
Don't try to tell me there's no
Particular reason I won't go peacefully into the next phase

Don't tell me you don't recall
The first day of Springtime
The way we met was such a sweet cliche
Can't believe you would forget
The height of last summer
And how we spent each hour
Of the longest day

Don't pretend
You didn't plan this from the start
By Winter's end
Passion frozen in your heart
I never said I'd be an actor in this play
I don't intend
To walk away as winter fades to gray

I don't believe that you
Have found yourself a new prince
There's no one anywhere in the world like me
Don't tell me he was a surprise
Don't try to convince
What makes you think I even wanna be free

Don't care if the air you breathe
Comes cold from your lips
Don't matter to me if the trees have lost all their leaves
There ain't no golden bough
And I'll remain your king

With your help, Kilroy2.0 WILL be everywhere... I've cooked up a fun "fiction meets reality" stunt to celebrate the release of 7th Son: Descent, and would love your help in making it happen. On Oct. 27, the day 7th Son hits bookstore bookshelves, you can have the novel's mad hacker Kilroy2.0 HACK YOUR BLOG. (Or Facebook. Or Twitter.)

If you choose to participate, you won't be alone: More than 130 superfans like you have already volunteered for this hack-a-thon! Of course, there will be no real hacking happening here. You'll be copying and pasting some text (that I'm providing) into your blog / FB / Twitter feeds. It's all perfectly safe ... but it should be a fun way to show your support for 7th Son's release!

Check this .zip file. (It's virus-free, I promise.)  In this .zip archive are two text files. These explain how Kilroy can hack your blog / Facebook / Twitter feeds on Oct. 27. An image file is also provided, which you can use in your blog / FB posts, or as an avatar on Twitter, etc.

I'd love for you to participate! You should find the instructions straightforward and easy to implement. If you have any questions, feel free to drop a line.

Thanks again for your generous support of 7th Son ... and for having your online content "hacked" by Kilroy2.0 on Tuesday, Oct. 27. So whatcha waiting for? Download the .zip file, and get hackin'!

He's here, he's everywhere,

"Rockefeller Center" Lyrics

You say it's a waste
Wasting my time
Maybe it's true
I hide behind rhymes

I can't defend
My wandering heart
Trapdoors and tripwire
In all that I start

If I stray from this meandering path
Just to keep you from fading into my past
Every kiss and embrace will be worse than worthless
We'll dig us a hole from running in circles
Hiding From my Rockefeller Center

My windmill to tilt
My albatross to train
I don't need you to get it
If it's all the same
Would you rather I thanked you
Or held you to blame?

I'm forever grateful for all you've endured
But you're like a reward that's also a lure
You made me go deep and before I could surface
I lost my way and mislaid my purpose
To find
My Rockefeller Center

"Unscrew You" Lyrics

I remember that day
Just like it was yesterday
Maybe that's because it was just like
The day that came before

That's when you showed up but
I was not expecting guests
You smiled and said it came down to right and East
Or left and West

I made my own decision
And I took you in my arms
Now I haven't got the slightest clue
Where the girl I knew has gone

I wanna unscrew you
I wanna get inside your
Get inside your head
Unscrew you
Instead of making love
Make some sense instead

Every branch is split in half and half again and every road goes
Everywhere at once with you
Every time I see your face it's like the girl I love's
Replaced with someone new

You astonish me
I mean you knock me on my heels
Then a sparrow falls or someone calls and
I can't tell what's real

What's it like for you to be
The soul of mutability
How do you decide which to apply
Variations on a theme

(Repeat chorus)

Is it too much to ask
Do I call you to task
Which lover stayed?
Who are you today?

(Repeat chorus to end)
