Interview on public access TV !

I just returned home from my first official interview that will be publicized on local public access television through Dearborn Heights, MI. I am very privileged to have a network of friends that can offer me support and help me promote novel writing in general. I hope I didn't sound like a blubbering fast-talking salesperson, but I had so much information I wanted to share....

I gave lots of helpful information leading to sites such as:
www.nanowrimo.org
www.createspace.com
www.writersdigest.com
www.writersgazette.com
www.ebookscafe.com
www.writersmanual.com

Just to name a few of the sites I have actually registered with and all of them are FREE to get started. Take a moment to see the links I have listed on the Left side of my home page for my blog as I have several of these resources listed there, along with my own personal interviews on there, and success stories of my own.


My most recent task is pursuing this site:
www.aaronline.org with my new quest of fishing for an agent to publicize my newest release Blue Sky Exposure with a publishing company. Wish me luck on this new adventure!


I do not know when it will be aired, but I will definately makes sure I know when it's on so I can advise the viewers!

I'd like to personally thank Marc Walentowicz. Thank you Marc!

My Story - Short story contest for Writers Digest

Here it is; Writersdigest short story contest called Your Story ends in less than an hour and I successfully uploaded this month's submission this evening. I hope that one of these times I get to be in the top 5 and heck I'd be beside myself excited if I actually won!

The short story contest rules are that the story must not exceed 750 words, and that it must be based off the prompt they provide. This month's prompt was:
Something bizarre occurs at the table next to a couple on their first date.

This story was submitted for the purpose of the above short story contest. Copyright rules are in place. You may not reduplicate this story without the author's permission.

Roadrunners Writing Club - co-organized by yours truly...

Memorial Elementary school in Garden City as asked me to help organize and host a young writers program in the school. We asked all students if they were interested in joining the club to learn how to write a story. They will learn sentence structure, character development, outlining, etc, and they just need to give up a lunch hour recess twice a month. At the end of the school year we would put together a book of their stories, publishing it into a soft cover book and allowing anyone (parent, teacher, student) to purchase one at a really really low price. We just want to help the kids see their work in print. *crossing our fingers* we hoped to get 50 students involved. When the Principal advised us that she ran out of the 100 flyers by the time she went through K, 1st, & 2nd grades we were astounded. We'd probably have to make a guess that over half the school wanted to participate. Now as the club prepares for it's first gathering on Thursday, we are hoping it goes by smoothly.

Now we are thinking... what did we get ourselves into? I hope we get as good of a turnout as we originally had. I don't want to turn any child away, if they want to write a story, then please share it! We are welcoming donations in any increment or supplies for the class. If you have anything to donate for the Writers Club, please send me a reply and I will let you know what we need. Some basic items are notebooks, pencils, and erasers.

I'm not sure where this club will take us, but I can't wait to help the kids get their stories that are brewing in their head onto paper. Let the imagination begin!

EXCITING NEWS on the homefront!

I am proud to announce that Blue Sky Exposure has been completed! The last of the final draft edits have been completed and I am now ready for a few select friends to proofread it for me. In as little as 30 days I hope to have query letters peppering the mail with hopes of finding an agent! I also hope that Blue Sky is loved by all.... doesn't is sound so pretty? The title: Blue Sky Exposure.

Here's a little synopsis of what it's about. This synopsis was written very fast and here in the middle of the night and is not in final form:

Robert Dorgan is a troubled man seeking revenge. Everyone in the town Deso Latt, Indiana fears the hospital due to unspoken rumors. Everyone at the Craybell Institute for the Mentally Impaired , located in Deso Latt, fears Robert Dorgan; especially the staff and doctors.

Throughout the discouraging chain of events, the novel will take you from one point of view to another. The events change depending on who's eyes you are looking through, Robert's or the rest of the worlds. Robert will search desperately for a way to fulfill his addiction. From theft to murder, he is on the border of sanity with a thirst for more. Thorough his endeavor Robert tries to deter unsuspecting victim, young Tessie Lynn away from the taunting Doctor Al Linden, and Doctor Derek Scott.

Also introducing Bluoxscen, a non-FDA approved drug that he craves and will stop at nothing to taste again. Giving him the extra strength and power that any man would crave, he also carries a new founded ability. Will the blue skies ever be exposed for Robert in his attempt to free himself? Or will the hospital be able to continue hiding what they've been hiding for years?

Almost.....

Blue Sky Exposure is almost done! I've spent the last 12 hours today working hard. I am on the last few chapters making sure all the loop hole character ploys have been fufilled and I will soon be ready to offer this book to just one more friend that would like to offer to proofread it. I would assume that it be ready by THIS Monday!!!! So if you are free this January and want to take a good long 34 chapter, 300 page read. It's almost....almost almost almost ready.

I am looking for honest opinions of storylines; character descriptions, and general plot holes that may risen unintentionally. Any grammatical or spelling advice is appreciated also and I would ask that if you choose to proof it for me, I would like a full read and reply within 30 days. My goal is to have this book in an agents hands by February and the search for an agent can take months! So the sooner I have opinions and corrections done, the sooner I can get this book in the hands of agents!

I already have 2 persons lined up to read. I'm looking for just one more. Please let me know if this is something you would consider!? You can be the first to taste Blue Sky Exposure...
