Masada's Marine

UPCOMING EVENTS

My belly was twisted in knots, I wanted to throw up, and I didn’t breathe. With the slightest flick of my finger, I hit the “Approve” button and the final proof of MASADA’S MARINE was sent off to receive its final changes before it is printed.  Do all writers go through this anguish?  I’m nervous, excited, and scared, and yet hopeful. And, still, the waiting continues.

 In 2011, I experienced these overwhelming emotions for the first time, but was rescued by this wise advice: Your book is like your child. Trust you have done your best, and let it go, then get busy on the next book.

So with ideas simmering on the back burner for another book in the MASADA SERIES, I will be busy with for the following book events.

Saturday, 10:00 Am to 12:00 pm on June 21^st

PRESENTING MY LATEST BOOK

MASADA'S MARINE, The Story of A Service Dog And Her Wounded Marine Warrior.

 

 

 

Masada and her Marine were both born two decades and two thousand miles apart, and both aspired to do be the best that they could be. But first, they had to meet.

Masada began her journey in Illinois as a bumbling golden retriever puppy and emerged twenty months later as a proud, confident American Service Dog, ready and able to protect and preserve the life of Iraq veteran, Alex March, USMC.

Alex’s journey began in California as an ambitious boy who only dreamed of protecting and preserving life for the Corps, his country and his family. Twenty years later, he emerged as one of “a few good men,” and served with honor, courage and commitment …until he came home….

“An unseen attacker, camouflaged in the crowd, cooled its heels like a terrorist. It waited to follow Alex and his family home. How could he have known what lurked on the sidelines? Another war, an invisible war, he knew nothing about and had not been trained to fight.”

Follow Iraq veteran, Alex March, USMC and his American Service dog, Masada, who rescues the wounded warrior, as they become the best they can be.

WRITING SEMINARS & BOOK FAIRS

Reminiscing about 2013 occupied so much of my thoughts I forgot to give everyone heads up about upcoming events in 2014.

I will be giving a FREE seminar Monday night, January 6^th, 7pm at the Ovitt Community Library in Ontario, Ca. Don’t miss an opportunity to emerge from isolation out into the world of other writers. Even if you are only thinking about writing, this seminar will inspire you …get the creative juices flowing. There will be handouts and autographed books available.

 

 

Are you an RVer, or a wanna be RVer? Check out the Family Motor Coach Association Rally at the Indio fairgrounds in California January 8^th through the 12^th. You don’t have to be a member or own an RV in order to attend. The rally is open to the public.  Everything for and about RVs and the RV lifestyle will be available at this rally. It is one of the largest rallies in the southwest region. It is not a sales lot, though there will be plenty of RVs to drool over. There will be seminars and demonstrations covering any questions you might have about recreational vehicles and the RV lifestyle.

Have you ever thought about writing?

That’s the title of my seminar I’ll be presenting at the rally on Thursday January 9^th at 9am.Did you know that 20% of the population has thought about writing?  I’ll cover the basics of how I became entrenched in this career and became a top ranking Amazon author, earning money on the road. When I presented this seminar two years ago and it was a hit. The seminar is FREE. I hope to see you there.

And finally, whether or not you have the RV fever, come to Quartzite, Arizona after Indio. Quartzite, Arizona is the RVer’s mecca. Once a year, the little town whose population is less than 2000, becomes a BIG, little town during January boasting  a temporary population of over a million, mostly RVers.

 

Quartzite is a shopper’s mecca. If you like to shop for anything or everything, this is the place to be. The phenomenon is undescribable…it must be experienced.

 Experiencing The Readers Oasis Bookstore is a must. The owner, Paul Winer was known as “Sweetie Pie” in his younger days as a strip dancer in Canada. These days Paul is known as the desert’s naked bookstore owner and operates his bookstore as naked as the law will allow.  Click on the link below to watch the video of his store. Nakedness aside, Paul has an amazing collection of rare books and hard to find editions.

Paul hosts an Authors Fair every year in January. I participated two years ago and  enjoyed meeting  many other authors. The attendance was great because many come by to see the “main attraction.”  I hope to spend a day or two at the Authors Fair.

 

So there you have it. January 2014. Stay tuned because in March I will be in  the Authors Pavilion   at  the  TUSCON FESTIVAL OF BOOKS.
