I logged in to find that I’ve been failing terribly at writing anything lately. I guess it’s been about 25 days because guess what came out yesterday?! Veteran’s Voices!
Presently as I write this we’re an Amazon number 1 best seller! I’m over the moon right now! I’m writing to you all from Sam’s Town Hotel in Las Vegas which is bitter sweet. I haven’t actually got to hold or look at a single copy because I left before mine came in the mail yesterday. Ah well, such is life sometimes.
On the plus side, I am in sin city for a couple of weeks for the Las Vegas Writer’s Convention which starts tomorrow. I’m here to learn everything I can, meet some amazing people and try my hand at pitching Faerwald to a few agents. Wish me luck! Someday my name won’t just be on the inside of a book, it will be on the outside too.
I’ve also *shame face* read a couple of books that I’ve not written a single word about. I never told y’all about how epic ECCC was this year either. I hate to say it, but things have been a little hectic. Alas, I will have a few days to work on this page before the National Bowling Tournament starts and I will do my darnedest to get caught up!
My earliest memories revolved around books, and Egypt. I was convinced that I would be an author, a books store owner (to sell my books from), and an Egyptologist on the side. I believe I was in the third grade.
I went on to work a number of years advising people on which movies to watch, which cameras to buy, and recommending a number of books. I tried my hand at baristaing before landing a job as a 911 Communications Officer. At the time I had a Bachelors in Criminal Justice and I wanted to save the world. Eventually I decided to go back to school to finish my first Masters Degree in Organizational Leadership (I have another in Human Resources, because after all, why not have two?).
Recently I finished my first novel. I'm presently on the long hunt for representation and eventually publication. I am a contributing author for the book VETERANS VOICES, published by National Geographic.
When I don’t have my nose to a word document, it’s often found in a book. I enjoy bowling, golfing, and reading. I have an immense love for board games and anything supper geeky, including my four foot tall stormtrooper I named Kevin .
