brainstorming except when I first started writing.

<h4>
<span style="font-size: large;">What is your birth name?</span></h4>

<h3>
<b> What can you tell me about yourself that we haven't covered?</b></h3>
<br />
<h4>
I come from a history of women writers. For as long as I remember, I have loved to keep journals, write poetry and short stories. I researched my family tree and suddenly I understood why. My distant relative, Violet Florence Martin was an Irish author, born in 1862, who co-wrote a series of novels with cousin Edith Somerville under the pen name of Martin Ross in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.</h4>
<h4>
Learning about my heritage encouraged me to follow my dreams. </h4>

Me and my record label are currently doing a Likes 4 Breast Cancer event where if you LIKE our page we will donate<br />ten cents put of our pocket towards Breast Cancer awareness. I love to teach kids about music and get them started. I love to write for women especially. I am ADHD but I do not let<br />it effect my success at all. I push through it. Message to ADHD victims: It may be hard to live with, but its not impossible. Love you guys. But yeah, I would say that I'm self-reserved, still on the hunt for Mrs. Chicon, thought I found her 6 years ago, 6 years wasted. LOL. But like the BEAR I am, I'm back on the hunt. I love comedies, I love Grimm, If you are a Grimmster please comment with your fave episode. I love what I do and I do it because I love it and I live by a self-made motto- "Don't just be iconic, be CHICONIC."</span></span><span id="yiv1501837429yui_3_7_2_17_1361823742984_165" style="color: black; font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;"><br style="background-color: white;" /></span><br />

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
have been writing for a long time. According to my family I was a
tattletale but I remember the accolades of a well told story. I wrote
poems as a teenager and young adult, but I always enjoyed reading
romance and women’s fiction. When I was having a rough day as a
young mother, my husband would bring home a series romance novel. I
could escape and explore another world for a short time. I started
attending classes and workshops while my children were young. As you
can tell by my family history they are now married with families of
their own so I have been at this a long time. </span></span>

<h3>
<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">What
kind of writer would you describe yourself as?</span></span></span></h3>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
am a pantser. I have not embraced plot outlines. I get an idea and
then I research and write in clouds around it. I have a female
character in mind then I have to people her world and find her love
interest. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
also enjoy writing short stories. I’ve had approximately two dozen
published. I also enjoy the challenge of a flash fiction story with a
beginning middle and end in one hundred words. </span></span>
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">But
short or long, women’s stories, the community and love that
surround them are my passion. </span></span>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My
friends call me the research queen. They mention something and I’ll
be on the computer and find the information for them. Or because I
have an inquiring mind, I have researched many subjects in the past.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
was a nurse, office administrator, teacher’s assistant, volunteer,

experiences from which to glean.</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
also love to walk and bicycle ride. Either at home or away, I explore
thrift shops. I examine what the communities donate to the poor. I
think I can tell a great deal about a community by the items on the
shelves and clothing racks. </span></span>

that many readers love a book to hold but my books are contained in a
computer chip of sort, whether it is on an e reader or a computer. </span></span>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I have lived in Rhode Island my whole life, and currently reside in North Scituate, with my wife, daughter, and dog! A rural area of the state.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">How long have you been writing?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">
I have been seriously writing since 2008. Before that, it was just for fun.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">What kind of writer would you describe yourself as?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">
I like to think of myself as a prince, preparing to become a king. I am putting down the ground work, and the blood, sweat, and tears, to one day walk down that royal red carpet of the writing world. I think I will be considered the greatest writer of the 21st century, when it is all said and done, he he. </div>

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">
I have been in the liquor industry for seventeen years and like to bowl now and again.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What can you tell me about yourself that we haven't covered?</span></div>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">
I am first and foremost a man of faith and of God. After my near fatal accident in 2007, I was born again and had a new found energy to do something special with my life. I also am a major advocate for keeping the homeless off the streets. I hope to have my own shelter within the next couple of years. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">
My time is precious to me. Whenever I have extra time to spend with my family, I take advantage of it! I work many hours, so my days off are guarded. I love Politics and Sports. Other than that, I pass the time by working out when I can, and reading.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What are your future goals with your writing?</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">
I will continue writing until I reach my goal of ten books. Then I will reevaluate. Hopefully the passion that flows through my veins will still be there, and I will continue to pump out good, insightful, creative stories. I have started two chapters of a book that is very different than what I have written before. It is a dark comedy that involves ice cream, and an alter-ego. That is all I am going to say for now. I don't want the idea to slip away from me. When it comes out, it will catch on fast. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">

<div style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: small;">

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Are your books both Ebooks and paperback?</span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.07in; margin-top: 0.07in;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Yes! Kindle and Nook for $9.95. Paperback is a little more expensive but the new one is only $16.97. You can find it on one of the websites I listed!</div>

I was published in 2011 by Publish America. I do, but it was really a waste of time for me. Nothing got accomplished. I will fish around when I have more books under my belt.</div>

I do. Her name is Adela Brito. She is from New York. I recommend her to anyone who wants honesty and hard work put into the edit. I am taking my chances with mainstream publishing for my third and fourth books. </div>

<!-- end of AOLMsgPart_1_b54815b1-c491-47cf-94df-87bfcf3398d5 -->I will be hitting the book signing scene hard, this coming spring thru fall. I didn't feel right going out there with just one book under my belt. Now that I have two, I can show people that I am for real, and not going away! <br />

Stop by Youtube and check my book trailers!<br />

<h4>
Currently working of a YA Romance and after that maybe a SIFY adventure for YA. I have been playing around with an idea for an erotic story for women that examine the way their lives are touched and how they can be pushed into living a life they never dreamed of sort of a Shades of Gray but I need to do more thought on that.</h4>

Create Space is not too costly. They do give you free EBook conversion and they are part of Amazon so kindle is free. They have great authors discount prices for your book and they ship at a really low price of it is easy to sell your own book and make some money.</h4>

<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">I live on a small farm in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"> </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">I’ve always enjoyed creating stories, characters, and new worlds, and have been writing since I was very young. I decided that I would be a writer when I was ten-years-old, and that was fourteen years ago.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">I am a novelist, primarily of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. </span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Garamond, serif;">When not writing, I enjoy reading, watching horror movies, playing video games, horseback riding, researching whatever has struck my fancy, and playing with my cats. </span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">I’ve
been writing all my life, telling stories ever since I was a kid.
Anyone who would even remotely listen to me got an earful. I look
back at the stories I’ve been able to hold onto over the years and
though the writing is indicative of my age at the time they were
written, the imagination is evident. I’m proud of that. I wish I
still had such an uninhibited and vivid imagination as I did when I
was a kid.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">One
of my first nifty little nightmares was called “Timothy.” It’s
evolved over the years, developed, and the writing improved. I’m
very happy that it found a home in the Sirens Call anthology
“Childhood Nightmares: Under the Bed.” </span></span>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">I’m
a writer of speculative fiction and erotica, though I enjoy combining
them. I’ve written everything from children’s stories (“Xerxes
Canyon”) to young adult fare (“A Shade of Death & “The
Kiss”), from romantic drama (“Rainbow Crush”) to raunchy comedy
(“Opening Doors”), from supernatural thrillers (“The Angels of
Autumn” & “The Singing Wind”) to sexually charged vintage
horror (“Bareback: A Werewolf’s Tale”). I’ve even written
hardcore horror (“The Argento”). I definitely like to take things
in a dark direction. </span></span>

He is however starting to suspect that this mission is not all that it's cracked up to be. The world is in complete chaos as major nations wage war on each other and the world is on the brink of World War III. <br /><br />The Group is secretly continuing Operation Dark Angel with much success. Unknown to the rest of the world they are the ones who are behind the strange and devastating attacks on Israel and around the world. What is it that they are really after when they are supposed to be bringing peace to an out of control world? <br /><br />Italian President Nicolaitanes Balac is steadily gaining political power and recognition. The entire world is watching this one man and wondering if he will be the one to save them from the chaotic spiral that the world is headed towards. Is he really who he appears to be or is he something much more sinister? Can he save the world? Do we even want him to? Is this who mankind should rely on for help or will this be the worst mistake that mankind has ever made?</span> </span></i><span style="background-color: white; color: #0070c0; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span><br />

are you from? </span></b></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">My
name is <span style="font-size: large;">Brad Dassey</span>. I am 29 years old and I was born in Two Rivers,
Wisconsin. I spent majority of my childhood growing up in Manitowoc,
just 7 miles from Two Rivers.</span></span><br />
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>Can
you tell me about yourself?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Well,
there’s LOTS to tell. For one, I am a Christian Rap artist, beat
maker, music composer. Whichever you want to call it. I make beats
for free and produce on my home computer. I really want to send a
good message with rap music in hopes it will help other people. I
really like helping people feel better about life.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">All
of my music can be downloaded for free at my website,
</span></span><span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="http://www.braddasseymusic.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">www.braddasseymusic.com</span></a></u></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
All of it is mainly Christian Rap Music Downloads and some Christian
Hip Hop Music as well. I mainly aim for truthful, encouraging,
uplifting messages that will help build others up as Ephesians 4:29
states in the Bible.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">On
the other hand, I am a computer technician, also a voice over actor.
These two careers are what I do to pay the bills. Although things
could be better, I am thankful for every little job that pops up and
comes my way. I mainly do a lot of remote assistance connections. I
can connect to people’s computers from my office and help resolve
their computer problems, ONLY if they are able to get online of
course. They can find a lot of useful information on my website,
which I carefully constructed myself. </span></span><span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="http://www.omropc.wordpress.com/"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">www.omropc.wordpress.com</span></a></u></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>What
kind of music to you write and sing?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
only write Christian Rap or Hip Hop music on my Midi Keyboard.
Sometimes I break out of the norm and do a soothing, relaxing track.
I feel this helps me connect with GOD a bit more an also helps melt
away stress. I hope to construct and finish my relaxation CD at some

you record your own music?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Yes
I do. That’s all I really do. I like to stay original. I feel
that composing original music is the way to go. There are a lot of
other bands out there just copying other songs and bands and although
that is alright, I feel it’s best to stay original. This way I can
say that I constructed something myself instead of really copy
someone’s idea or song. Music has a unique way of speaking to us,
so I believe it has to be carefully written. I compose my melodies
in a program called Fruity Loops, then I do the final mix in Ableton
Live 8 and then I mix in the vocals with Acid Pro 6. I have a
complex way of constructing my music, but it’s easy for me.</span></span></div>

any kind of an instrument?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Well,
I wouldn’t consider myself as to knowing how to play particularly.
I mainly, “Experiment.” I have a good ear for sound and mixing.
I can pretty much pick up any instrument and, “Sound” like I know
how to play. I can make melodies very easily and come up with my own
riffs and tracks.</span></span></div>

<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Hmmmm.
Sometimes in my spare time, I like to write poems and stories. I
have a book in the works, but I’m afraid it’s a lost cause. I
just can’t find myself to finishing the book. It’s about how I
wanted to commit suicide a couple of years ago. The book is called,
“The Devil Wants Me Dead.” I still have yet to finish it. I
have constructed a song on my website about taking my life and what I
went through. It’s called, “Dear God.” It’s an encouraging
song about how you shouldn’t take your life. God gave you LIFE for
a reason.</span></span></div>

<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Yes,
I am a voice over actor. I’ve spent the last few years really
learning new skills about how to become an effective voice over
artist. You can call it voice overs, voice acting, whichever.
People have different names for it. I mainly voice people’s
videos, tv commercials, radio commercials, promos, all types of
projects. A lot of the contacts are from outside the USA, which is
strange, but majority of my work is done within the USA as well at my
home recording studio. You can feel free to check out my work more

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>I
hear you are trying out for America's Got Talent, can you tell me
what that's all about?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">America’s
Got Talent is a TV show on NBC. It entails people from all over the
USA who come and show their talent to a few judges. I believe one
person will win 1 Million Dollars. I’m going to try out for
America’s Got Talent because I believe God has blessed me with an
incredible announcer voice and I really want to make something of my
life. Sure, I get voice over jobs here and there, but it’s nothing
consistent to keep up with the bills. I’m hoping that even though
I know I won’t win, that they’ll have some connections to some
important people so I can continue my voice over career.</span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in; page-break-before: always;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><b>I understand
that you send your music out on requests for free sometimes to get
your name out, is that true?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Yes.
It’s not necessarily getting my name out. It’s about what I
believe the music will do in others lives. I construct my music to
bring healing to people’s lives who are broken and weary. The
Bible says in 1</span></span><span style="color: black;"><sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">st</span></sup></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">
Peter to, “Use whatever gifts you have to serve others.” That is
what I have been doing. Even though I am broke and can barely afford
to send these CD’s out, I believe in doing so because it’s what
God calls me to do. God provides, always. So I am not worried. I
mainly want to build others up through encouraging words and songs to
which God has blessed me with.</span></span></div>

are your goals creatively?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
guess there is no real creative ways to reach my goals. Just pray an
listen to God and see what he has in store. The devil is a very
crafty one I might add.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I
would like to let people know that God doesn’t want you to kill
yourself. If you’re thinking, “I want to kill myself,” or,
“I’m better off dead.” That’s the wrong way to think. If
God wanted you to initially think that, you would have started
thinking about it from newborn on. The devil is very crafty and I
believe the devil will do anything he can to tell you lies to get you
to harm yourself. You NEEEEEEED to reach out to someone. Anyone. A
crisis center, a friend, your family, anyone. Once you start getting
help, it’ll all work out the way God planned it to. Stay positive
and always stay close to your dreams.</span></span><br />

So, I thought I would take a minute and update it. I am working on doing some co-writing with some online author friends. I am working with author Joshua Skye on a book called "Shades Of Deception." Author Bruce Spohn and I are working on "Lake Side," a tale of two lovers. I am working with Author Tony Angelo on a bedtime stories book for children and on my own doing a children's christmas book. I am also working on a story in an inspiriational book. My book links are on this blogunder April's post. That's about it! You can also find me talking to author friends on the Publish America group site on Facebook as well as my author sites on Facebook;The Book Store and More & Shelia's Coffee Corner. Stop by, & plug your books and websites!</span>wvcoffeechickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07070471120201897087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7817806657418867085.post-11047209469854260442011-10-10T13:09:00.003-07:002011-10-10T13:12:07.190-07:00Longing For December is now available<a href="http://www.publishamerica.net/sc/productsearch.cgi?search_field=longing+for+december&storeid=*1edf36148e19385ebc3184b7208fc4a600">http://www.publishamerica.net/sc/productsearch.cgi?search_field=longing+for+december&storeid=*1edf36148e19385ebc3184b7208fc4a600</a><br />
