Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am an author since childhood who loved to write, whether for contests, articles or books. I have written award winning short stories and magazine articles and finally turned my skills into a publishing company and writing service. We have published over 20 books and edited 100’s. As the century was coming to a close I had an idea for school kids who didn’t seem to know much about events in the early 1900’s and turned that into “Tell It To The Future,” which was a compilation of stories from people who lived during the decades of the twentieth century.
After that I wrote New Horizons, How to Write Your Book From an Idea to Your Published Story and finally got to taking a book I had started for my kids our of the drawer.
Code 47 to BREV Force was written on a train from New York to Florida to get my boys to read. that 75 page manuscript has evolved over the years into the Code 47 to BREV Force Trilogy that was just published in January.
I still have other books I am working on and authors that I coach one on one, but for now I just want to market BREV Force, which now is a Fantasy for Teens and Young Adults, or anyone who believes they could use a break from reality! It’s time I give these books a following!
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Code 47 to BREV Force Trilogy was inspired when on a train to Florida from New York I couldn’t get my 2 sons, age 8 and 9 to read. They had their heads stuck in their “Game Boys,” so I began to write!
