Crime Writers Conference
Saturday and Sunday, June 6 & 7, 2015
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Los Angeles-Westside6161 West Centinela Avenue, Culver City, California
www.conference.org
Yesterday at the CCWC in Los Angeles, I met some of the most incredible people who were willing to take the time to just talk and encourage each other.
There were seasoned writers as well as just starting out writers all attending for a common goal, to learn from each other.
Charlene Harris delivered an all-inspiring message on writing and finishing the race (you’ll never finish unless you start, so just do it), she was a hoot.
The panel rooms were awesome.
And, the food was fantastic too.

Coming Soon!
Black Opal Books Presents
Fanaman Curse
Piercing nails
clawed Charlotte’s skin
She fought the presence that tried to take
control
It scratched deep
wells into her flesh Charlotte felt as though she was trapped
in one of her nightly nightmares
Without warning Charlotte stopped fighting
She had learned from those nightmares to let the demons wash over her
She forced the lower extremities of her body to go limp
This always betrayed the demons to their own greed
When her opponent lessened its deathening grip
the opportunity came
Charlotte transferred her strength into her arms
and fought hard for her life
tossing the figure away
As always, the figure vanished
as though never there
Hysterical laughter from within the Conservatory filled
Charlotte’s ears
Only the sight of her father lunging into the
Conservatory eased her mind

Coming Soon Excerpts From:
Fanaman Curse
(Black
Opal Books)
The death of my little brother when
we were children still haunts me. I cannot see who is coming
towards me. Hands white as snow dripping icicles punctures the ground. They fall
leaving blankets of bloody footprints going nowhere leading everywhere. The
sounds of screaming geese off in the distance awaken me to a cold sweat, never remembering
what truly happened. I fall back to sleep after many hours to be awaken once
again as if drowning in the sea below. Something keeps holding me down, I
cannot climb up Heavens Stairway. I scream to the woman in white who is running
down the rocks. She does not see me. She plunges headfirst into the black
abyss. Never screaming—just quiet. Mother says my brother death was an
accident, but no one will tell me…

I haven't forgotten you!
No, I haven't forgotten you. I've been super busy. But, that's not a good excuse. Here's something that might tie you over. I'm working on non-fiction/fiction and the interweaving of culture. Let me know your reaction.

Book Review: Angel's Ink
Jocelynn Drake: Angel’s Ink
The idea of warlocks, witches, elves, trolls, minotaur,
centaurs, werewolves, and other woodland creatures walking among the 21st
Century neighborhoods is fantastic.
Ms. Drake writes in the sagacity as one ranked in
the league of fairy-tales weaved with reality that opens one’s mind to
possibilities that the tattoo world was one of amazement as well as great
potion.
Gage, the main attraction even though human breaks
bonds and becomes part of the Olympians with warlock powers—which he later
regrets.
Leaving the Magical Ivory Tower was harder than
anyone thought it would be and tried to live among others who shielded
themselves under the pretense of human form.
This is a
Buyer Beware…a trio to be reckoned with.

Book Review
Maggie Sefton: Deadly Politics
Ms. Sefton tone comes out in this diabolical account
of Capitol Hill and many of its diversions that the common people have no idea
what really happens—when Power and Money mixes.
Molly Malone once the voice of reasoning during her
husband stay in political office and well loved returns to the Hill and its
concrete—after many years of avoiding the scandals, the back-stabbings and her
own personal heartbreak.
She witnesses this heartbreak once again when her
niece is murdered after admitting that she was having an affair with a
congressional chief of staff that ruin her career as well as his.
This is a fast moving, motivated novel with the
political angle imbedded deeper than this story revealed—with mysterious
encounters of future villains of Raynard and Spiner.
One of Sefton’s best with hopes that there
will be sequels to the unanswered.
