I love a scary book with a puzzle in the plot. I just finished The Hazel Wood by Melissa Albert and I need to get the second book in her series. How did you like The Practice? (less)

I read and write mostly horror, so I'd have to be careful where I visit. I suppose the world of Midnight, Texas in the novel Day Shift by Charlaine Harris would be a safer bet. I'd visit the pawnshop there and the cafe for some home cooking. I live in Texas, so I think I'd fit in too, even though I don't have any magical talents!(less)

For this unfortunate assignment, I received the challenge of writing a spy thriller story in 1,000 words or less. To top that off, the story had to include a flamethrower. I have forgotten what the third prompt was – just reading t
