Saki (December 18, 1870 - November 14, 1916) was the pen name of British author Hector Hugh Munro. Saki's world contrasts the effete conventions and hypocrisies of Edwardian England with the ruthless but straightforward life-and-death struggles of nature. Nature generally wins in the end.

The First Line/Book Beginnings



From The She-Wolf

Leonard Bilsiter was one of those people who have failed to find this world attractive or interesting, and who have sought compensation in an “unseen world” of their own experience or imagination—or invention.


The Friday 56

From The Dreamer

“Meet me just outside the floral department,” she wrote to him, “and don’t be a moment later than eleven.”

Note: 

I was working with a PDF copy, 214 pages long.

Book Blogger Hop



September is a busy month for literary events and book awards. Are there any award-winning books or authors you're eager to read, or any forthcoming book events you intend to go to or cover on your blog? (submitted by Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer)

Ain't nobody got time for that! 

I'm sure some authors whose works I've read have won awards for something at some time. 

I don't pay attention to literary awards or watch the Grammys or the Oscars. Unless I win an award, you probably won't read about any award-winning authors or books on this blog unless I've been contracted to promote them.
