Genre Jump

Although I'm knee-deep into story-boarding a post apocalyptic thriller and the follow up to my original Juice novel, I recently took time out to package and present some slightly different work.

I'm in the process of re-channeling the direction of THIS blog into something that highlights and helps new authors and struggling writers. If that's you, see the "showcase" link in the upper left. And while I'm at it, why not showcase a couple of my own pieces? These are real departures from my usual genre interest... no blood and guts, no intense drama - but quite personal nevertheless.

I've been writing in various formats all my life. While cleaning out and organizing some old archives, I blew the dust off some things that dated back more than 30 years. Looking them over - some weren't great, others were pretty impressive (considering when I wrote them) - and so I decided to put them together and package them in one nice little book.


TEARDROPS FROM CLOUD NINE

I refer to Teardrops as an excavation of the emotional caverns between my ears. Painful relics - buried sensations - fragments of joy - treasured nuggets of my life extracted in their original form and presented in no particular order.

Dating back to the late 70's and spanning long forgotten relationships, turmoil, discovery and love, this collection is a kaleidoscope of my life. In retrospect, some content seems stunted and amateurish, if I may be my own worst critic. But, while scavenging the archived rubble to complete this project, even I was stunned by a few of the gems I discovered.

Details and sneak peeks at Teardrops can be seen here.

The second piece I've just published is a total jump in another direction - although it's definitely a reflection of what I'm like in "real life."

HAVE YOU HUGGED A DORK LATELY?
We're adorable and quite snuggelicious!

To live is to laugh - mostly at myself.

Taking Dorks to a new level by adding the Cool factor, Have You Hugged A Dork Lately showcases a vast array of tongue-in-cheek quips, snarky one-liners, snappy comebacks and deadpan sarcasm.

It's me - in unrestrained fashion - making others giggle and sometimes causing you to reflect on your own Dorkiness.

Just a fun romp that I hope will do nothing more than brighten your day!

Details and sneak peeks at my Dork Book can be seen here.

And now... back to writing the edge-of-your-seat stuff.
