About George Thompson
Location: Missouri
Occupation: Writer
Bio: Bio I was born in the small town of Ironton, Missouri in the mid-40s. My father was a minister and my mother was the devoted pastor’s wife. We moved when I was three to Kansas City where Dad pastored several churches, then moved to Fulton in 1960 where I graduated from Fulton High School in 1962. Dad was pastor at the Southside Baptist Church from 1960 through 1967. It was during those teenage years that I started writing poetry, articles, short stories and novels. Many poems were of a “grim” nature because I was usually either frustrated or felt depressed when I wrote them. Further in-depth study of myself helped me to see matters in a different, more enlightened way and gave me a much greater peace Bio of mind. That feeling came about when I realized that a Higher Power held control over my life and although I felt free here on earth to explore many things because God gave me the mind to make my own decisions based on the “terms” I had set for myself it was I who set the terms and levels of frustration and worry. Once I turned everything over to God, my writings became more positive and that feeling of emptiness I once had was lifted. My faith in God and the good intentions of mankind grows daily. I believe in the power of words, whether they are written, spoken or through the motions and spelling in sign language. They can be used to empower or defeat, accept or deny. My poetry is just one of many means of communicating. Retired now, I make my home in Ironton once again after being gone for sixty years. I write a poem every day, an article or two a week and have a continuing column at wickedwordsmith.com on the Web. My pleasures are writing, feeding birds and taking care of my new cat, Mandi.

Fools Rush In--A Christy Bristol Astology Mystery by Sunny Fraizer

Fools Rush In – A Christy Bristol Astology Mystery by Sunny Frazier is a feast of an adventure that delves into two worlds: the criminal minds of drug dealers and using astrology to chart certain peoples’ futures.
Christy is single, shares her apartment with a woman name Lennie and works for the police department in a small town. She is coaxed into creating an astrological chart by Detective Wolfe—a brazen character if there ever was one—for a drug dealer named Lloyd Parr. He’s the underbelly of all that is rancorous to Christy, yet she proceeds with the charting and then accompanies Wolfe on the mission to deliver the chart to Parr. Christy is sort of coerced into being the person chosen to place the chart and all accompanying documents in Parr’s mailbox. But something goes awry and Parr—along with his accomplices—abducts Christy because he is intrigued by her astrological reading and is hungry for more information about himself.
Frazier uses a lot of astrological terms as a background for this novel which moves swiftly from one chapter into the next. There are many turns and snares along the way until we reach the end of the novel when Christy’s life becomes meaningless to her captors and fears losing her life. All over astrology. The author is very deft at telling this story with a police backdrop and astrology as the crutch to hold it in place.
I was not bored, not for an instant. And, neither will you. This is fast-paced, action adventure at its best. With this winner under Frazier’s belt, I look forward to following more stories about Christy Bristol in the future. Thumbs up on this well written novel!
