Long time no write April 10, 2008

Its been so long since I’ve made an entry but everything her in the real world has been very busy.

The book, Thunder and Lightning, is coming along well and is still scheduled to come out in the fall.   I am so excited about this and can not wait to see what it is going to look like.

Other projects I am working on include follow up stories to T&L and several other books as well.  I’m also particpating in Script Frenzy 2008 and that has been a ton of fun so far.  The goal is to write a 100 (or more) page script from beginning to end in the month of April.  I’m on task and over the 20 page mark.   I’ll make sure to post if I reach that goal or not.

I’d better get back to the script to stay on track and still be able to do all my other writing (and the rest of things that I need to do in my life).

We have a name!!!! October 7, 2007

I finally have a title for my first book and a name for the team! Instead of the team being call the Lightning, they will now be the Philadelphia Thunder! (As long as the NHL is cool with that). And now for the big reveal of the title……… Thunder and Lighting!

I have some great feedback from the Flyers home office answering questions for me on “hockey life” but I’m still hoping to get an interview or two before I have to send it to an editor. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Today was the Collingswood Book Festival. The weather was lovely and I met many wonderful authors who had nothing but support and enthusiasm for me and my upcoming books. Next year, I will be one of them!!! I am so excited that becoming a published author is coming that much closer to becoming a reality. There is already a bit of a buzz about town about it and the launch date is a year away. This is going to be one amazing year!

Coming Soon! September 7, 2007

I am happy (and scared out of my mind) to announce that a free fiction will be posted here for all of you to read very soon. I am doing this to introduce all of you to my works.

Look for it in the next few days!

That’s how many pages my “first” story is.  I spent the last few days formatting it into a 5 by 8 inch book (bigger than the normal paperback) and I know that there are a few more pages I want to add, plus all the thank you stuff that most authors put in their books.  That should bring me up to 304 and make me competitive with the other books this size.

The next question will be, how many books should I order?  I don’t want to order too much but I don’t want to under buy either.  At least I have a year to figure that part out.  Plus, in looking at my quick notes from last night I realize that I should never do math after 11 pm.  (I was off by a power of ten in one calc.)

At least finishing this quick formatting gave me a much needed boost to keep working.  Now I just need to call the Flyers and get myself a chat with a real player and hopefully a wife of a real player too.  Keep your fingers crossed for me!
