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 atttended 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!
NOTE: My blog has been restricted due to a person of interest with a vendetta against me that is trying to ruin me by cyberstalking me.
If you would like to be invited to view my blog, please let me know. Also, I had written scripts for brief movies that we filmed
and placed on YouTube; unfortunately, the same person of interest decided I had to remove those scripts from YouTube because she
thought I was exploiting someone, although that same someone has photos plastered all over Facebook for the world to see. However,
I am working on some new movie scripts to showcase my writing talents and I'll make better choices as to who gets to be in them so
I don't have to go through this again.
