Words Brought To Life
I just returned from a great evening spent with other writers, poets and authors, and artists who took the written word and gave it life through speech, drawings, and personal expression. What a great way to share a space with others who came together to ensure that a historical site, The Underground Railroad in Burlington City, New Jersey, would remain for future generations to learn about and enjoy. Thanks, Ken, for allowing us to share our talents in your restaurant, Legends.
Where has the time gone?
It's February already...amazing!
On Wednesday, in the midst of an already busy and stressful schedule, a friend of mine asked if I would perform a reading of my novel, A Beautiful Girl, at his restaurant for a Black History Month event. Crazy as this may sound, I had forgetten we just slipped into Black History Month. Where indeed had the time gone? Of course, I said "yes" after I searched my brain for anything that might already be in my planner.
So, today, I am heading to Legends in Burlington City, New Jersey for a reading slot at 5:30pm. I'm so looking forward to it.
Oh, by the way, it is a benefit event for an Underground Railroad site in Burlington, New Jersey. How cool is that?

NoteWorthy
My novel A Beautiful Girl has been accused of being "too good to put down" once an avid reader has read a few words. Having not finished a novel by the time her plane landed, a woman had become disappointed the flight hadn't been a bit longer (Out the door went the desire to get out of a small space to stretch one's legs). A Beautiul Girl has also been blamed for lack of sleep and dark circles under heavy eyelids. Even techies has had decent words to say.
All I can say is "WOW". A Beautiful Girl is guitly as charged.

Disclaimer: You may want to leave enough time to get a good night's sleep. This one is a page turner.

Happy New Year! C'mon 2012!
So, the holiday season is just about over for most of us (unless you celebrate 3 King's Day like me and my Hispanic friends). What a year this can be with a book already published and another in contract. I just resubmitted 2 novels I submitted last year and received rejections or no response.
Basically, I'm trying to get organized so I can handle this journey a little better. I still need to call high schools, visit libraries and set up more radio interviews. Oh, and I plan on transferring more scenes from my head to paper or an electonic document.
Balance - that's what I hope to achieve in this increasingly busy lifestyle of authorship.
Have a great one!

Tis the Season...
I love the holiday season. I enjoy staring at the colorful lights, ooh and aahing at a variety of nativity scenes and wishing my friends "Happy Chanukah", "Merry Christmas", "Happy Kwanzaa", and "Happy Boxing Day" for whichever one they celebrate. Saying "Happy Holidays" is much too impersonal for me. As for me, Jesus's birthday celebration is the one I grew up with. Oh, how I love to celebrate birthdays!
Recently, I had the opportunity to participate in two vendor fairs, one at a high school and the other for Circle of Ten. I had a great time at both and met some neat people, including Dr. Stanley El, with whom I will have a radio interview (89.7 WGLS FM) at Rowan University on December 21st at 5pm.
In the meantime, and noteworthy for the fans of A Beautiful Girl, Rick (one of my main characters) has been flooding my mind with conversation and scenes. Sara (the focus of the story) has not been silent either. I believe I'm on the path to writing a sequel.
So, now I'm off to immerse myself in all the good this holiday season has to offer.
Be safe!

Radio Interview was a Blast!
Talking to Elisa was so cool and I'm so excited I got to meet her, if only by phone...so far. I hope many of my family/friends got to listen in. I had fun sharing my gift and hope that many can benefit from the story. I wonder what's next.
