Organic Imagination, August 11, 2007

"Bones of the Woods" uses rich, organic sensory descriptions. Rachelle's imaginative stories use nature, which is as strong of an element as the characters or the plot. Nature enables the characters and the reader to make sense of a world without order. Rachelle's first story "Bones of the Forest" has a character that discovers a frightening episode in humankind's history. Her final story "The Thaw" has a character who must face a buried past in order to stop a predator/murderer. Sandwiched between these stories is the exquisite "The Leafman." In this story, Rachelle's descriptions are so evocotive and true, both of art and of nature. Equally rich in images and symbolism, John Miller's stories are insights into the torturous battles as men fight the dark side of their nature - a hit man, a psychiatrist, and a gamer. As I read through this collection, I didn't want any story to end. This wife-and-husband writing team have created a set of stories that compliment each other, engage the reader, and remind us that men and women can only survive when they live in harmony with nature. It is ironic that these two live on a Missouri farm, because they are highly technical people. Rachelle Reese is the co-author of Professional SQL Server 7.0 Development Using SQL-DMO, SQL-NS & DTS. How fortunate it is to read good writing in a world that is too easily amused and distracted by technology. The power of the word to stimulate mind and spirit can be found in "Bones of the Woods."
