Operation Paperback:
- I am accepting book donations to send overseas to the military. No romances or sexually explicit materials.
Books needed: Actions, Bestsellers, Biographies and Memoirs, Fantasy, History, Horror, Mysteries, Science Fiction,
and True Crime. You may also donate automotive magazines, comics/graphic novels, and sports magazines.
Prefer paperbacks but will accept hard covers.
If you would like to send a quarter with each book to help offset some of the mailing costs, that would be greatly
appreciated. No monetary donation is needed to donate books though.
Please contact me if you would like to help.

I attended my first ThrillerFest convention in July 2011. It was also my first time to New York, which can be an overwhelming place
to be. I got to meet and speak with one of my favorite authors, Heather Graham. She's pretty cool and of course, I had a book signed
by her. The workshops were priceless, especially the one about marketing your book. The AuthorFest didn't go so well. I was so unprepared
for it and got to only see three agents. None of them panned out, though, and I was way too nervous to speak. Maybe I'll get them next
time. Anyway, it was a great, educational experience for me, and I look forward to going back.
Thanks to everyone who help support me in my writing journey. I really appreciate it!
