Welcome to Center Stage: Spotlight on Writers & Illustrators
Whether fifteen seconds, or fifteen minutes, most of us enjoy some warmth in the spotlight. So readers and artists alike, welcome to Center Stage—where writers, poets and illustrators will all duly shine in this House of the Rising Sun—as due for their loving labors. Please grab an elixir; make yourself at home, and enjoy the shows. Other than the Weebly Banner at the bottom of most browsers, they are commercial-free. Provided, of course, you don't accept the Cookie Policy—which includes an offer for "tailored promotions."
Rather than risk battle with the Cookie Monster, I myself have refused to "Accept"—but I've yet to encounter difficulties on any of my devices. So you may take the Cookies if you like, but I'll go with Pizza anytime. Cheers and thanks for Visting!

Welcome to the worlds of Love & Danger: the shredded fabric of our Lives. Noir that stabs the heart. Tall Tales to tickle your funny bone. Lunatics driven by lust. Crime capers with crazy characters. And haiku to stir the soul—while tugging at our senses. Such are the writing ventures of author and photographer Mick Rose—who pens haiku and prose, as well as the occasional poem—while wandering the United States in a quest for the Perfect Pizza. He’s discovered Life looks different behind his camera’s lenses. First striving to capture images with his inner and outer eyes, Mick then sketches these scenes in print—and tries to paint them in our memories. Though his crime fiction can loom dark, and not for the faint-of-heart, he typically tells tall tales involving sexual humor (which sometimes prove explicit). Should you feel inclined, you can read some of his works for free at the Links below. Care to say, "Hello?" Please see the Contact section.
Cheers and thanks for visiting!
