Farleys “Thrips” is a Prize

The e-book version of L.R. Farleys Thrips is a definite prize, according to two online writing groups.
Ink Slingers Inc. (http://p204.ezboard.com/finkslingersinc) and Writers4Writers (.com) have offered Farleys Hawaiian mutant insect thriller to participants in their online short story writing contests. Ink Slinger knellis won in April for her story entitled ”Christmas isnt Quite as Merry When Youre a Fairy. The contest is on-going in W4W.
The rules for some of the contests can be rigid. In Ink Slingers, the contestants had to use one of three beginnings and endings, use a set of words, and stay within a word count. The W4W involves a first line and word count.
As horrifyingly difficult as some of the rules of writing contests can be, they are a good match for the horror in Farleys freshman novel, in which the juxtaposition of suspense and terror in the beautiful state of Hawaii forms the backdrop. The main character is newspaper reporter who discovers a growing infestation of pesticide-resistant insects whose bites kill. In order to pursue the case, he must force himself out of a four-year funk caused by his divorce and his inability to move on with his life. But move he must as he follows the clues from the beaches of Waikiki to the volcanic slopes of the Waianae Mountains in his quest to stop the perpetrators from getting off the island and terrorizing the world.
Noted mystery author J.A. Konrath called the book a techno-thriller with teeth, while reviewer Susie Hawes said Thrips is filled with twists and betrayals, tightly plotted and colorfully depicted…. The depth of characterization brings the people alive.
Farleys short stories have appeared in several online venues, including Writers Digest, Buddy Tales, and Chick Flicks Ezine.
Thrips is available through most bookstores, online, and from the publisher. Learn more about L.R. Farley and Thrips at http://www.LRFarley.com. (Read knellis winning story at http://p204.ezboard.com/finkslingersincfrm74 .)
A media kit and photos are available on request.

I’ve come across that now, more and more people are being attracted to camcorders and the subject of photography. However, as a photographer, you have to first expend so much time period deciding the model of camera to buy and also moving from store to store just so you could possibly buy the cheapest camera of the brand you have decided to decide on. But it isn’t going to end just there. You also have to take into consideration whether you can purchase a digital photographic camera extended warranty. Many thanks for the good guidelines I obtained from your site.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!
