Jaybird Drennan, a genius of radio and one of the finest people you could ever meet, died on Sunday, December 10, 2006. We seem to lose the best people in December.

    Mystery Fiction

    The Radio Murders,,: A six-book series that takes Talk Radio to a very illogical and deadly conclusion.

    Life Generally

  • Nearly burning my house down twice in three days.
  • Getting new countertops in our kitchen. Ain't Corian wonderful?
  • Second-degree burns on my right hand, looks remarkably like a seahorse!

    • What I'm Doing...

    After nearly three decades creating effective advertising, and leading the industry in marketing and developing creative concepts for mass media, now working ceaselessly to find a place in Mystery Fiction.

  • Immersed in Evidence of a Restless Spirit, Book VI in The Radio Murders,, by Elmer Polk Six completed novels: Is The Caller There; The Call Bank; The Collectors; Silverreed; The Murder gods; and now Evidence of a Restless Spirit

    • Be Still, And Know...

    Now there is Next. I am working, but not enough. I am patient, but not enough. I have a philosophy (a personal imperative) but there is still fear. This dream will not fail me. Radio has not forgotten me. And millions will know all about the Wounded Microphone!

    ..
    ..Books....

    The captivating debut novel by a career radio programmer and creative director who escaped the madness only to create more on the page!

    A home invasion in the distant Chicago suburb of Hyatt, Indiana, begins a night of terror that quickly turns into the abduction of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) High-Roller Peter Janich and his wife.

    It is immediately clear that the abduction is the product of an elaborate Radio-play by Mrs. Lani Janich, but the play turns deadly serious and results in her hospitalization with a paralyzing trauma and the violent death of her husband. The misguided play moves from writer to unwitting performer to the mysterious third party who turns the simple plan into a vengeful act of murder, kidnapping, and terror high above a deadly industrial wasteland.

    "My goal is to craft stories that are fun to read and fly off the shelves, no more, no less."

      THANX FOR BEING A FRIEND AND I WISH YOU A FABULOUS DARK AND TWISTED WEEK!!! HOPE THE HOLIDAYS ARE GOOD TO YOU! HERE'S SOME HOLIDAY HORROR FROM ME TO YOU!! ;)

      OUIJA


      Is there someone there? Is there someone there?
      Come talk to us tonight.
      We’re asking for the dead to speak,
      It’s only us . . .my wife and me.
      Come tell us how you died.

      The oracle moved about the board
      A figure-eight reply.
      The oracle started slowing down, then stopped . . . above the Y.

      Tell us more, tell us more, what brought you here to me?
      Tell us how you died tonight.
      Tell us when you died tonight.
      Tell us what brings you here tonight.
      Keep spelling it for me.

      The figure eight continues and around the board it moves.
      It’s slowing down, it’s slowing down.
      Come, spirit, talk to me right now,
      Tell us tonight, because we want to know . .
      Then the oracle stopped on the letter O.

      You’re coming in so very clear,
      Now tell us why you’re roaming here, on this dark and stormy night.
      Speak to me, speak to me,
      Travel through this board to me.
      Tell us why you sleep tonight beneath your resting tomb.
      Speak to me, speak to me, speak to me now.
      Then the oracle stopped on the U.

      Y-O-U, Y-O-U, this isn’t making sense.
      You spelled out, YOU is this what you meant to do?
      Then the oracle stopped on YES.

      ....to be continued.......
      http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.ListAll

      How much do you believe?

      In THE LUNACY MACHINE 'R' you will hear of a dark secret between husband and wife, listen as the ouija board speaks on its own, and travel through time to see the crime first hand. Will he have it in him to do what's right? What would you do?

      THE LUNACY MACHINE Presents TWISTED TALES OF UNFORTUNATE TIMES 'R'. Coming soon to a bookstore near you!

      Thanks for the comment, Chuck. Death Will Get You Sober is available at a good discount on Amazon. I'm with a big "New York publisher," St. Martin's, so I benefit if readers buy the book anywhere EXCEPT from me (or as a used book, which doesn't count as a sale or give me a royalty). Thanks for asking.
      :) Liz

      I still remember and laugh when I think of the supposed way you introduced yourself to your new Hudson neighbors with a cassette of the song "Movin' on Up". That was hysterical. So are you now writing "Radio Murders" books? How awesome.


      Love and Blessings, Carol Lieb
