Hello to you this morning,
I have been away for what seems like forever. Not away from writing
or the Web but away from my blogs and connecting with you. Today, with a
new found sense of direction and dedication, I am turning my focus on
what I do best... writing. I have made some true accomplishments in the
months that have passed and am looking forward to the New year and all
it has to offer.
Where have I been since I last wrote about "things I know about,"
you may ask? I have been busy walking down new avenues and adding to the
knowledge of what writing is and isn't. I have now published six novels
and three short stories, two of which are a series ongoing. I have
ghostwritten two novels, which has been a learning and growing
experience for me.
I have walked a bit into the Sci-fi world
of writing and found it enticing. There is an entirely new and open
genre in Sci-fi in my mind. Why? Because in the Sci-fi world, unlike my
writings in the "suspense-thriller"genre,
the sky, or perhaps I should say, the Universe is Not the limit. In
keeping with reality, my fiction novels of suspense, no matter where I
take them, still must follow a line that keeps them "real." Sci-fi, on
the other hand can be as close to or as far from reality as the writer
wishes it to be. It does leave a lot of room for expansion of the
imagination.
I will be keeping you up to date with my writing and the things I
learn about along the way. Where my books are and where they are going
will be part of my writing. I do hope to see you around the writing
Universe as I open new doors, close a few old ones and peek at what is
behind Door # 3.
