Moon Lit Sonata




Music filled the midnight air
Its melodic tones did sway
Where bodies twined each other tight
In this festive moon lit night.

Moving slowly with each beat
They seemed to know their plight
But didst not dare to speak such words
In this festive moon lit night.

Clinging as if to say
Their last goodbyes away
Knowing full well where they should be
Waiting for deaths bloody fray.

When all at once the music stopped
The bodies all stood still
And in the distance he did stand
His sword made ready on command.

A shriek so pitched, so high it hurt
The fearful eardrums of our ears
And stilled the beating hearts of those
He had come to kill.

He did not falter his command
The blood did splatter by his hand
Till all laid dead upon the land
Did he complete his ritual rite…
In this festive moon lit night.

Red Flags to newbie authors...

I being a newbie myself have come across some things that sent out signals to cause me to think twice. Being published is great, you may not make a living at it, but that's not why you write.  You write because it is your passion.  With that being said, then take your time to look for a reputable publisher.  If an author friend or someone you know who is published by someone they like working for then by all means go for it, but if you know nothing about the publisher search them.  Find out what  you can and even then you're not told everything. I searched Trestle Press and found nothing wrong with them, but I still had this innate feeling of doom, well not doom, but a twinge of not too sure if I wanted to sign up with them.  I signed the contract, which was a one paragraph sheet of paper (red flag #1) and then a bunch of lines to where I would write what submissions I was sending in for them to publish.  Still nervous. I filled it out and sent it in then I started asking ho
