Writing for the Love

Special Correspondent for Joy on Paper Big News! I'm so excited to announce that I'm now a Special Correspondent for the Joy on Paper radio program where I'll provide the monthly Science Fiction BookBuzz . My very first Sci-Fi BookBuzz went live on the air Tuesday, January 4th and included a thirty-minute author interview. You can watch my interview with host Patzi Gil of Joy on Paper below or on YouTube . The BookBuzz airs at about the halfway mark in the video (which is also when I come into the studio at the 25-minute mark). For the January 2022 Sci-Fi BookBuzz, I reviewed a 2020 audiobook release: Sunborn by Jeffrey A. Carver. What did I think of the audiobook? Find out by watching the video^^^ or visit the Sci-Fi BookBuzz page at Joy on Paper where each monthly BookBuzz recording will be available to listen to and share.

Backlash / Frontlash \ Whiplash A Science Fiction Humor Story Software developer Dora has created the world's most advanced Artificial Intelligence hologram called Aya. Intended to be an avatar who elevates the user in social media spheres, the testing phase proves that the proverbial off switch doesn't apply to genuine AI. My First Humor Story Yes, this is my very first humor story. I've had humor infused into other stories, but this story was written entirely with the purpose of (hopefully) making readers laugh. And even if you don't laugh out loud, I hope you'll be smiling inside. Single Kindle Stories Launching on Sept. 5, 2021 It's Official! The ten speculative humor stories featured in The Light Fantastic anthology will be released as individual Kindle Stories on Sunday, 9/5/21, for $0.99 each.

Halloween is Coming Soon... Photo by Felipe Vieira on Unsplash Spooky Stories of Real Night Terror Here in Florida, it's hard to tell that Autumn has arrived because the average temperature is still pushing ninety degrees. I had the chance to experience some true Fall weather on a trip to visit my in-laws who live in another state, and I enjoyed having a break from the heat. (Flights are cheap right now! There are some positives in 2020). Still, October feels like the right month to talk about things that are a little bit spooky. Photo by  Neven Krcmarek  on  Unsplash I'd like to share some personal stories about my Night Terrors . I'm calling them Night Terrors because I honestly don't know what else to call them. The fact is, I'm basically a sleepwalker, and over the years, it's gotten a little bit worse. I don't write much non-fiction. Typically, I write science fiction, fantasy, and inspirational stories, although I have written two horror stories. See

Which Line Hooks You? The Book: Little Angel Helper 1) A recently fired, down-on-his-luck accountant prepares to gamble the last of his savings in a desperate bid to pay off a loan shark. Meanwhile, a woman helping his special needs sister arrives in the wake of their parents’ death. She has limited time to persuade him to become his sister’s guardian. OR 2) After losing his job and his parents, a gambler must choose between abandoning his special needs sister or putting her in harm's way when loan sharks call in his debt. The first example was my first attempt, and the second example is where I ended up after reworking the line and receiving feedback from other writers. On a side note, if you're interested in the inspiration behind the book, here is a BLOG POST about how I originally wrote the story live on my blog and based one of the characters on my sister with special needs.
