Peaches Ledwidge’s
Day Laughs Night Cries
Getting 5 Stars on Amazon!
During the light of day, young Peaches is quiet, shy, and loved by her mother, the members of her church, and the people of her Jamaican village. But when darkness falls, night brings a catastrophic event that thrusts Peaches to do the unthinkable. Day Laughs, Night Cries – a timeless and universal mother-daughter story – rattles with love and hate, tension and chaos, trust and distrust, hope and despair. It whispers of childhood physical assaults and traumas. It reveals teenage confusion and street survival. This engaging account applauds the resilience of the mother-daughter bond.
Hope you’ll check this one out, buy it and review it. Writers need reviews. They help keep us visible.

michelle says
Day Laughs Night Cries sounds awesome!
I think 1, 2 & 4 are incorrect?
Pat Kahn's Childsplay says
#1 is correct because "me" is the object. Otherwise it would be "I lie down."
#2 is incorrect. Should be "My manuscript lies…"
#3 is incorrect. Should be "If you want to publish a book, sit down and write."
#4 in incorrect. Should be "He sets his pen aside."
#5 is incorrect. Should be "On the parapet, I saw…"
And thanks for offering this giveaway!

Hi Lee .. I'd say 2 & 4 are wrong ..
While I'd love to read the Two and Twenty Dark Tales – sounds an interesting take on nursery rhymes .. they mostly started out dark.
Cheers Hilary

It sounds like Day Laughs Night Cries has a lot of emotional conflict. I love the cover!
2, 4, and 5 are wrong. I think.

Just like Santa, I'm checking my list and checking it twice to see who has been a naughty grammar person. There are a couple of tricks in my sentences, so take care. 🙂

Rawknrobyn.blogspot.com says
Oops, forgot about the extra credit. And I'm cheating by changing one answer. 3 is correct.
1) Now I lay down to sleep.
2) My manuscript lies moldering on my C drive. (But is there such thing as a C drive? And I'm not sure about "lies".
3) correct
4) He sets his pen aside and falls across his desk. The End.
5) On the parapet, I saw Madam Cuthbert looking wild-eyed like a hungry zombie. Or: Looking wild-eyed like a hungry ombie, I saw Madam Cuthrbert on the parapet.

#5 depending on who is looking like the zombie – but if it's Mme C, the phrase better come after her name 🙂

4 & 5 seem incorrect! (But I'm not all that sure). The Two and Twenty Dark Tales book looks great. I'm going to buy it to support the writers. Ledwidge's book sounds intense. Good luck for all.
