FANTASIES ~ CIRCA APRIL

F. Scott Fitzgerald lingered *AT THE BIJOU* over gin and recollections as the calendar neared its turn ~ "Alas, April is over, April is over. There are all kinds of love in the world and never the same love twice."

Two artists

who paint fiction,

one for the very first time, depict their

April fantasy perceptions

of how a SexyTouch

proves F. Scott quite true.

"Daunting" claimed the lady ~

SANDRA DAVIES

making her *fiction* debut

"Inviting" assailed the gent ~

PAUL DE DENUS

Let us WELCOME

these hearty authors,

THE RETURN

OF A FANTASY EPIC

BARRY J NORTHERN'S

"Chasing the Wind"

HEY TOOTS! I'LL TELL YOU WHAT'S PLAYIN' AT THE BIJOU

Once upon a read . . . AT THE BIJOU came to pretty, not gritty Web*City. The streets were paved with the stuff that dreams were chock full of, and chock full suffered no fool with a pour-out of tantalizing, sensationalizing, and when more than just a little knee was shown ~ some say, down right nouveau nubile scandalizing. Vaudeville did more than take the next stage outta town (ba dum dum) . . . it was harbinger to herald what good showcasing was all about ~ tender tale'ing talents and a moxie mix of characters. Some shifty, some meritorious. Now the authors 'splaining the nature, plot summary and POV of such characters? Well hell, they're all glorious. That's why they're here, those that believe in believers and bring along a mighty good write on Double*Feature Tuesdays and Thursdays to light up your eye'places. Such is the history vs mystery of a bijou ~ the name itself is French for "gem, jewel, something precious" ... and glimmer*sparkle it surely does ~ from a popular entertainment venue of merry moments to touring companies of fellow writers and auditions to behold this side of bold. Serious provo'katives lend ponder to what really matters and we realize Life itself is too sweet for any sour notes or clatters. Casey will dance with the strawberry blond, and the band ... plays ... on. Ditty, hum, (never hum-drum), lyric, lilt, sung to the hilt, (and up the kazoo), ode, opus, and in a Mayberry state of kind mind, even Opie too. Generous natures and spirited thoughts, what concepts bring and hearts begot. Drama divine and aw shoot - there go the crime scenes, who-dun-its and fantasies so fast that fiction flashes . . . festivities, film and even car crashes. Tender, touching and poignant too, with laughter ever after ~ the only way for You. You'll find it all AT THE BIJOU Writers' Raves for Readers' Faves

SIGNS OF SUCCESS!

The Authors on the rise we know and recall are what makes the difference between good and great, swell and spectacular. Shooting star Author and magazine cover idol ANTHONY VENUTOLO are one of those distinctive HARBINGER*33 guys on the rise, destined for the stuff dreams are made of . . . from here to eternity. He painted up this sign in his spare time between media mogul days, revered father evenings, and sensational scribings in the soul of the night. Anthony fits in romance, top shelf friendships and the same kind of hootch, bugging Bukowski in rival works and music. Oh how this author jives. Smooth, liquid, hot, cool. Solid. His connection to Harvey Schmedlap is dubious vs nom de plumish. There's only one Anthony. Click that sign and see what I mean. I'm ABSOLUTELY*KATE and I endorse this message, and always the worthy wonders of authors and red velvet seat readers AT THE BIJOU.
