- Hi...I just signed up for this group, although I've had a page on Book Place for awhile. My Space was my first social network, and there I have posted blogs and other information related to my writing. I have five published novels, all available on Amazon.com, and a story on the Amazon Shorts program. Additionally, I belong to several Ning sites, have ten blogs that are networked on Facebook, and I'm currently working on another novel.

- Hello all I would like to tell you a bit about Debi DeSantis....I began my creative career as a poet and went on to win awards for the past four years for several of my poems. From there I went one step further and began writing a children's poetry book which was published and helped jump start my writing profession. I have two romance novels published, "She Cries in the Dark" and "The Other Side of You". I am working hard on my third. Inspired by creating my own book covers, I put together a portfolio and contacted several publishers and fellow authors with the hope of putting my imagination and artistic talent to good use.I am happy to say that I have recently won the Book Cover Artist of March 2009 award for my cover of BRIGGEN. I am looking forward to a rewarding and satisfying career creating great stories and book covers. So if you would like more information, visit my site at www.debidesantis.com/book_cover.html

Hey Everyone,
I have a Myspace and saw this group, so I decided to join. I write many genre's, LOL. I first started out with just fantasy then branched out several other genre's of books, and I have also been writing short stories when I'm not working on a novel. All of which are under the catagorie of Fiction...I have always enjoyed fiction 'cause it takes me to a different place out of reality and sometimes out of this world. Well there is a small blurb about me....I'll leave it there since I know that I tend to write way to much, LOL. Talk to all of you later.
God Bless,
Shawn

Winners and Losers at the CMAs and Life
I love country music and almost every country performer. While watching the CMAs, I enjoyed seeing the winners accept their awards. On the other hand, it was hard for me to see the losers do their best to appear gracious and for the most part succeeding.For every winner, there's a loser. In life and in books, it's the same way. How people react to their good and bad fortune shows what their characters are made of. You don't have to tell a reader who the good guy or bad guy is. Let their actions speak for themselves. The readers are smart enough to figure it out.
PS Can't finish this blog without saying - You Rock, Taylor Swift! You are one smart, talented teenager! Congrats on all your awards, especially, Entertainer of the Year!!!
CMA Awards Tonight and Twitter
One of my favorite shows is on tonight - the CMA Awards. If you're a country music fan, you're probably like me and will be glued to the TV 8pm EST, or in my case 7pm, in the flatlands of Illinois.Almost all my favorite performers will be there, except I hear that Rascal Flatts can't make it.
I'll be on Twitter during the show also. That's part of the fun of it - discussing and dissecting outfits, performers, songs and even commercials, kind of like I'm at a giant party with people who all go for the same thing and want to share.
What about you? What kind of music do you like? Do you tweet during a favorite show or event?
Things People Say and Do at Book Signings
Saturday was a Killer Career book signing at Barnes and Noble in Schaumburg. I just love the way they do their posters, by the way. Very professional looking.
It was 70 degrees outside, which is an unusual temperature for November. Needless to say, not everyone wanted to waste such a beautiful day by pending it inside a book shop.
The usual assortment of customers did come by, some asking me questions about how long it took to write my book, how I got started, and how many books I'd written.
Some said they'd never heard of me. I've heard that one before. (g)
What was surprising is that three children, not at the same time or with the same party, asked for my autograph - two on the back of bookmarks, one on a slip of paper. That usually doesn't happen. Maybe it's the economy. I don't know if their parents put them up to it, or if they thought of it themselves.
One person asked about my book and then said she doesn't buy from Barnes and Noble, but online instead. Since she was in the store, I can only assume she was scouting there for books first. I don't know.
Oh, yes, a variation on the restroom question was, "Where are the dictionaries?"
Another took the time to show me some missing pages in one of the magazines.
What about you? What questions have people asked you at book signings? Anything that stood out at a book signing you'd like to share?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
