That horrible picture is me reading my excerpt at Karitos, 2009.
In 2009, the directors at Karitos, a christian arts festival in Chicago, Illinios, asked me to read part of my novel to their audience. I took writing classes at Karitos from Patricia Hickman in 2008 and Nicole Mazzarella in 2009, both wonderful writers and teachers. It was fun. The folks at Karitos asked that I help promote the writers side of Karitos, which I do with a smile on my face. And a better outfit next time. EEK!!
I also have a BA in marketing from Lindenwood College, St Peters, Mo. that I obtained in 2000. But I also work closely with Diane Eble, a friend, mentor and publishing coach, who has helped me understand the marketing side and publishing side of writing. And of course, we can’t forget WritersDigest.com, on which I partook a two-week writing seminar.
To add flair to my story, I am working with a wonderful fencing teacher, not Master which he told me to include, who is teaching me the ins and outs of fencing and writing fighting scenes. I”m TRYING to convince him to write a book on how to write fight scenes, but we’ll see. I’m going to do an interview with him very soon on how to write the scenes.
Well, that’s it for now.
