$99 book video
My new video trailer for Hell Swamp is getting great reviews! Can you believe I paid less than $200 for it to be created and distributed world-wide while others have paid hundreds more? I am pleased to let you know that GWExtra, who created my two videos, is having a promotional this week. They are offering writers of all kinds a $99 package for a book review, a video trailer, and a live radio interview (if you choose), and then when you have approved the video draft, they distribute it all over… Continue

This time of year
I hope all who read this blog are as excited as I am. I love this time of year. As I await the release of my latest book, I am heading out the door to our cabin in the woods to work on the next one by a potbellied wood stove. My hubby will hunt, we will ride the ATV, and watch the stars at night. Great inspiration should follow, right?
As much as I love this season, I get so blamed distracted with my writing. I think I must have a touch of...let's see, there are so many things I could be touched… Continue

Starting with the villain
I recently published Just North of Luck, my second mystery. In this Logan Hunter Mystery, I started the novel from the villain's point of view. It wasn't an easy task, but I just felt it was necessary to introduce this whacked-out man first. I also used epigraphs at the end of a few chapters to let the readers, perhaps, garnish some sympathy for the guy--at least for a while. However, there is a point at which that becomes impossible. I would like to hear from readers how they feel about this te… Continue

Are you ready?
Anyway, I hope to get the house into decent shape before Christmas, when I do my annual meal for the family. There's also that Christmas list to get together. Time is ticking away.
What about you? Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you celebrate another Holiday? If so, are you ready?
Please Welcome Mary Cunningham, Cynthia's Attic Author
One of the main reasons for writing "Cynthia's Attic" came from my failure - failure to appreciate my ancestors. Our family stories are probably no more or less interesting than most, and I went out of my way to avoid remembering most of them or asking questions about my grandparents lives.
Or did I try to find out just which relative "supposedly" sold a city block on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles for $20,000? Guaranteed, I would not be sitting here writing a blog had that particular relative held on to the property.
Then there's the story, "Cynthia's Attic: Curse of the Bayou," of my great-great grandfather, Augustus Boilliat who disappeared in 1860 while taking a load of produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans? Oh, sure I've read different accounts about what happened to him, but lost forever are the stories his grandson (my grandfather) could've told me about facts he'd heard from my great-great grandmother, Marie Julia, about her husband's disappearance.
I remember a few accounts told by my dad about his adventures as a teenage cave guide at one of the largest caves in the Southern Indiana area, Wyandotte, but I only have to guess at some of the adventures he must've had.
The idea for Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle came from detailed genealogy research done by my cousin, Betty. Long before the Internet, she traveled to Switzerland to search for documents that would tie our great-grandmother, Harriet Kistler, to Peter Kistler the First, President of the Republic of Bern, 1470-1480. I've tried to honor the Kistler family in the fourth adventure in Cynthia's Attic.
Thanks, Morgan, for having me as a guest!
Mary Cunningham
She is also co-writer of the humor-filled, women's lifestyle book, "Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF)," along with published stories, "Ghost Light" and "Christmas Daisy," A Cynthia's Attic short story.
To celebrate the release of "The Magician's Castle," (Quake/Echelon Press, DEC 1, 2009), a winner will be chosen on each blog stop to receive a copy of the "Cynthia's Attic" short story, "Christmas With Daisy!" So, be sure to make a comment!

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?

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.

They are a 'real' movie company. I've since heard of writers paying to have their work made into screenplays and then submitting them to film companies. I thought that a bit odd. Thunderball Films have now entered into a co-production deal with Masterplan Films (UK) who will be handling the UK production of the movie and the director is Masterplan's CEO, Andrew Jones, an award-winning British director.
The movie people handle every aspect of turning the book into a film, which is as I always envisaged would be the case. After all, they approached me in the first place with a view to production, so they wold know just what they want from a screenplay, far more than I or anyone else.
Best wishes
Brian
Forgot to answer your question re the movie. they are still working on the screenplay so as yet I have no news on a potential release date....shucks!
Best regards

I do hope you get a copy of Legacy of the Ripper and that you enjoy it as much as you did A Study in Red. I'm now halfway through writing the last part of my Ripper trilogy. 'Requiem for The Ripper' which Double Dragon have scheduled for a summer 2010 release. 'Legacy' is doing well at Amazon I think both in the UK and the USA.
Best wishes and it's lovely to hear from you and hope all's going well for you.

My children and grandchildren are all gone now. The house is quite. What a nice time it is now! We have the house to ourselves. I dont know what it is but the older the children get the more they want to come back home, while my husband and I are yelling "Hallelujah! We finally have the house to ourselves! " Then comes the knock on the door or a ring of the phone soon afterwards with the conversation always starting out the same "What are you and dad doing?" I could write forever on my family. Tomorrow and the rest of this week no one is coming over!
Thanks for befriending this fellow mystery author!
Thanks for your message. I will try to bounce back from this setback, and in the meantime, I'm reading Hell Swamp! Great so far!
Brian
