This group is open to all authors, writers and readers, but is especially targeted to those authors who have a presence on MySpace and would like to extend their exposure. This is NOT a critique group. Spammers, be warned!
AT the request of a friend, I have decided to add another group to hold discussions on spy novels and related reads.

- About Me:
- I currently do not have any published works. My first story I have written is "Choices". It is a story of a teen, Karla, whose parents have decided to move to a new location. Karla is upset about the move. She is afraid she will be leaving her friends behind.
Karla enters a new school and makes a new friend, Carol. Carol introduces Karla to a different sort of crowd. Karla is impressed by Carol's poppularity and is drawn to her.
Carol invites Karla to a teen drinking party. Karla makes up a story to tell her mom and leaves with Carol to attend this party. Excited by the fact she is on her first date with a football captain, Gerry, Karla does not know she has made the wrong choice of friends.
Disaster ruins the party for all the party goers, especially Karla.
My story and desire to write for Young Adults comes from watching my own two children grow into adults. My son struggles with an alcohol and drug addiction. I would really like to reach out to other teens and maybe be able to sway at least one into making better choices in their lives.
After coming to a completion of my first book, I feel I would like to make a series of books. The books would have a common setting. Each one would have different themes to deal with.
I would like to use a six degree approach. Each character would know another character that would lead to the next book.
The next step I need to learn is how to research for writing the next book.

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

Life is all about stewardship. It all belongs to God - he just loans it to us for a short period of time. The first command God gave to man was to take care of the Earth, which includes managing and protecting the environment.…

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
Was wondering if you'd be interested in reading my new novel, Dirty Little Angels, and posting your thoughts on your blog (or on Amazon.com). If you're interested, I'd be more than willing to send you an e-book version by e-mail. Just let me know. You can read a summary at the link below:
