Profile Information
- Are you an Author, Reader, Publisher, Editor, Agent or Other?
- I'm a writer that is looking to publish a short story that I recently wrote. But other than that I mainly write fiction, with some science fiction and fantasy stories in the works.
- Do You Have A Website?
- No
- About Me:
- I live in a small town by a river, which is a great place for me becasue it has given me ideas for books, such as the mystery series I'm working on.
It is hard for me to stay focused on one manuscript at a time. I have been told that I have to focus on just one, but I find it hard. So I work with at least two manuscripts at the same time. And people are puzzled at how I can do that. I guess thats what seperates me from them.
- Favorite Books:
- Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Yearling, The Westing Game, The Outsiders, The Windsinger, Seeker, The Whisper in the Dark, The Artemis Fowl Series, Inkheart, The Books of Ember Series, The Oath, Into The Woods, The Host: A Novel, The Red Badge of Courage, The Last Jihad

G-20 Short Story
Hey All,
I wrote this story for an assignment that was given out at the latest creative writers group that I was at. And I didn't even though the topic was not exactly to my liking. So, instead of letting this piece of writing go nowhere, I thought that I could at least post for you guys to read. Talk to all of you later.
God Bless,
Shawn :-)

Inheritance of Murder - Part Four - The End of A Mystery
Aaron rode fast to the police department in the business district of the town, set along the large main drag. He pulled his sporty little Volvo into the crack riddled parking lot. Stepping out of the car, he power walked to the front doors of the two story building. This building actually used to be the towns largest, and only, law firm, which closed down back in the 70’s when a lot of new firms started popping up and out doing them. The police station moved to this new location last year after… Continue

Dream Poem
I lay on the warm sand,
my hand in hers,
we lay side by side,
watching the evening sun take its last ride,
we watch as it falls slowly to the horizon below,
its shimmering rays making the water glow.
I stare at her,
and she stare at me,
we both lay there,
looking into each others eyes,
no words need be spoken,
for there are no words.
My head draws closer to hers,
and her head drifted toward mine,
slowly we moved,
then as our lips barely touched,
I awoke.
I lay in my bed,
now awake,
thinking a… Continue

Inheritance of Murder - Part Three - The Solving
Daniel awoke in the early morning, with the sun shinning thru Clary’s elegant window curtain, and the birds singing their songs in the trees that stood right by the window. Acting as natures alarm clock. He rolled out from under the covers and sat up, his feet touching the cold floor.
As he stood up, he arched his back and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. Feeling rested from a comfortable nights sleep, Daniel walked to the door. And when he opened it, he could hear Aaron having a conversation wi… Continue

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?
Did You Shop on Black Friday?
There's still time to take the poll to the left about what you ate at Thanksgiving.About Black Friday -
The DH despises mob scenes, but my brother and I do love the adventure of shopping on Black Friday. We weren't courageous enough to get up at the crack of dawn, though, so we did miss out on a few goodies, like the snuglee blankets and pots and pans sets at Menards, and some other items. I did manage to get some work gloves at almost 50 cents each pair, and a boot/shoe dryer which sounded interesting and was less than $9.00. The biggest extravagance there was this turntable with MP3 encoding/AM FM radio combination thing, but that was only $49.00, which isn't too bad. I didn't go for any of the high ticket items.
I didn't do too bad, but do have some Staples rebates to send in. They're pretty easy to do online, so I don't mind doing them. I bought some USB flash drives, batteries, and CD rewrites there.
I also bought a reversible light grey, almost white bubble coat and some grey boots at Walmart, both items $7.00 each, which I plan to use walking Rascal.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of deals did you get?
So, this year I was pretty practical, but it was still fun and I did get a few things I hadn't expected to find.
What about you? Did you shop on Black Friday? If so, what kind of finds did you get?
Did you eat any of these foods at Thanksgiving dinner?
Since it's a busy time and an eating time, here's an easy poll to take in the left column. It's okay to pick multiple answers as long as they don't conflict. You can also leave a comment about a particularly favorite dish, if you wish.Morgan

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.

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.

Sorry, but you can't find my books quite yet. The first one is set to be released by Class Act Books in July and then the second in October. The third is still under consideration but may still be published late this year (I hope, I hope, I hope.) Thanks for the interest. I will be included in an author's chat at CoffeeTime Romance on Feb 11th and will be posting excerpts from my work. Please drop by and visit wiht all of us authors from Class Act Books.
