As 1958 nears an end San Francisco is being terrorized by a man who calls himself the “Fog City Strangler,” who preys on pretty young blonde women. The strangler announces each murder by sending a note and piece of the victim’s clothing to the local newspapers.

Angst mounts as the strangler continues to claim more victims. Private eye Sam Slater is worried that the Fog City Strangler may be eyeing his beautiful blonde wife, TWA stewardess Amelia Ryan. His anxiety is further fueled when TWA launches an advertising campaign with Amelia’s picture on a series of billboards plastered all over the city. Sam fears the billboards may attract too much attention--the wrong kind of attention.

Meanwhile, Sam and Amelia are hired to try to find the missing daughter of a wealthy dowager who fears she has lost her only child. The missing woman went for a walk with her dog on Stinson Beach, near San Francisco, and seemingly vanished into thin air. The woman’s husband arrived at their beach house and found the dog running loose but there was no trace of his wife. The police are stumped in their investigation.

As Sam and Amelia look into the disappearance of the woman on the beach they discover that nothing is as it seems at first glance. On a stormy night a shadowy figure sets fire to the beach house where the couple is staying--hoping to stop their investigation.

Greg Messel’s Fog City Strangler is a stand-alone thriller but is part of the Sam Slater Mystery Series--Last of the Seals, Deadly Plunge and San Francisco Secrets.

You don’t need to be anxious; just give your doubts time to fade away. It also helps to talk to others who have had doubts. This book will help you grow in assurance.

As you travel this road toward God, you will see how valuable you are to him and how he longs to free you from shame, insecurity, and emptiness. He wants to heal pain and loneliness and he wants to transform your life. He loves you and wants a close relationship with you.

Bill visits his new island and learns of the mysteries and ghosts that inhabit the lonely outpost. Overcome by the island’s tranquillity and beauty, he makes the fatal decision to hunt for the long-lost treasure.

Exploring Music through Poetry

Tatiana Pietrzak’s first compilation of poetry

 encourages readers to  open to the possibilities of the music that occurs in every aspect of life.

Sound and rhythm have been attracting humans for centuries; found in everything, they are the foundations of what we now call music. These naturally occurring marvels have been cultivated through the ages by humans like the wild vegetables and grains that became crops, finally molded into a codified language and form. And while the aspects of music that we now take for granted- notes, key signatures, and pitch- are widely recognized, music still occurs in an organic, or unplanned and even unintended, way.

The Music is Written by Tatiana Pietrzak is a compilation of poetry that explores the many places in which music can be found. Readers are encouraged to seek out the music hidden in everyday occurrences. Hopefully, these poems even inspire readers both young and old to express the music they have within themselves. Many people pick up a musical instrument at some point in their lives; but few realize that playing a musical instrument well is not the only way they can engage with the music itself. Tatiana Pietrzak’s poems help readers understand that nurturing one’s creative side helps unlock the potential to appreciate the pedestrian occurrences of sound and rhythm.

The Music is Written acts as an invigorating tonic for all readers, who will especially enjoy the widening of their horizons with poems that connect music to animals, the ocean, and neuroscience. Perhaps, they may even be inspired to make their own music, whether revisiting an instrument played many years before or picking up on for the very first time. The Music is Written is available through Amazon.com and RoseDogBookstore.com.

Tatiana Pietrzak

Tatiana Pietrzak has been granted many honors for her work as a poet, including a Distinguished Membership from The International Society of Poets. She has also won two Editor’s Choice awards from the National Library of Congress. Ms. Pietrzak has studied all over the world in London, Siena, Florence and Paris. She holds a Master’s in Liberal Arts from St. John’s College, after which she lived in Beijing, working in film and television. She did not publish The Music is Written for a number of years, until her battle with cancer convinced her to take advantage of the brief and precious gift of life. She is currently working on her first novel and her second compilation of poetry.

On Writing Dialogue

The art of writing dialogue is one many writers spend their lifetimes trying to perfect. Stilted dialogue will make editors cringe and your story less believable. Whether you are writing a screenplay where dialogue is instrumental, or you are writing a fiction novel, understanding how to make your dialogue snappy, believable, and compelling is paramount.

Step 1 – Get into your character's heads. In order to write believable dialogue, you must know where your characters are coming from. Do they speak with an accent? Have a particular way of speaking that makes them different? What kind of education and background do they have? What time period are they living in? Once you answer these questions, you will have a better feel for how each of your characters speaks.

Step 2 – Read the dialogue aloud. One of the secrets of great dialogue is reading aloud what you have written. If necessary, enlist the help of a friend to read another character's words aloud. If the dialogue sounds stiff, forced or weak, you will be able to tell immediately. Your dialogue should flow like a normal conversation between two people – and that is exactly what dialogue is at its heart.

Step 3 – Make it believable. If your characters are in the 16^th century, having them speak with today's slang is not going to work. Research the time period for which you are writing and pay attention to the way people talked. You can find inspiration by reading novels from that time period.

The art of dialogue is one that some writers never master, mainly because they don't take the time to perfect their art. Every book is different and every character is different. However, by following these simple steps you can create outstanding dialogue.

Take Me to Your Leader: Writing Science Fiction

The genre of science fiction is an exciting one, and it allows writers to unleash their creativity beyond the bounds of conventional literature. You can create your own world, populated by creatures born of your imagination. However, you also have to be able to create a believable, engaging story.

Even though science fiction writing is different from many other genres, there are some set rules you must follow in order to be successful.

Don't ask too much of your readers. Suspension of disbelief is one of the fun parts of reading science fiction, but if you go too far, your readers will not be able to keep up. You have to create a fanciful scenario rooted in reality.

Pick the right theme. The genre of science fiction can include many theme elements, such as mystery, quest, or adventure. In order to make your story believable, it must have a central theme working within the genre. Quite often, the quest format is used in this genre because readers are used to it, and it works well with this particular form of writing. You cannot write a rambling science fiction story with no point – you must have a theme to carry it through from beginning to end.

Create likeable, relatable characters. A middle aged man relating to an alien being from the planet Sornac may seem incongruous; however, you can use character development to create the link. Your characters may be from another world, and they may not resemble anything human, but they need to be human at their core. They need to have failings and strengths. To put it simply, your characters need to be real, even if they live in an altered reality.

When this balance is found, TERNION has succeeded in empowering an athlete to operate at their personal best.
