Sorry to have no chapters... but here's a photo prompt...

I've got all the book on my laptop currently, and we had to disable the wireless because it was messin' with internet connectivity... This will be resolved soon! In the meantime... From the trove of my daughter, Marika's trove of photos, this one from Cat Tails, Spokane: (see more of these shots in... Sign in to see full entry.

BWC - post 82 - THE HERETICS - Interlude: Two New Voices

INTERLUDE Padrone Names… I have had many, and have forgotten them all… Like the sycophantic minions, the partisans, the coteries, names come and go and are finally of no importance. Like lifetimes. I have lived many, before this… before so long ago adopting this life-without-death that at least... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Literary Prompt

The other day I did not resist the impulse to acquire an old book (1922) just because of the title. (It was only $2 to indulge the whimsy.) I wonder what you will make of it: THE ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY OF BANKING Sign in to see full entry.

Prompts

Have you responded to some of the prompts in this blog? Straightforward has suggested that for my up-coming photo show (detailed in The Ciel Show) I show some of the prompt photos, with some of the best resulting work from those who have responded. I like the idea, and might just do it. I'd love to... Sign in to see full entry.

Can you guess who they will be?

(Nothing whatever to do with the coming elections!) To all who are reading THE HERETICS--those who comment by email or here, or who read and don't comment ( )--I am home again, and will soon take up the story once more.
