First let me thank everyone who took the time and entered the contest. It really meant something to me and made for an exciting run. It also helped me celebrate my first book signing of March 2nd, 2014 (at Anne's Book Carnival, located in Orange, CA.). I also want to take the time to thank Goodreads.com for hosting such an awesome event, the book giveaways are a great way for aspiring authors to reach an audience. The Winners for this contest were notified by Goodreads. The novels should go out the weekend of March 8th. Again thanks to all who signed up, and congratulations to the Ten Winners.

Book Signing - John Burley (February 9th) Book Carnival - 348 S. Tustin - Orange, CA. 92866

As I prepare for my first book signing at Anne's - Book Carnival, I thought I would do some prep work and listen to another presenter Anne had scheduled at her store. I was very fortunate to have sat in on John Burley's book signing for his novel: The Absence of Mercy. (I will leave links below for those interested - and highly recommend you do!).
The signing took place on Sunday, February 9th.
John was an awesome presenter, now when I say this there isn't a power point presentation or flip charts that accompany his talk, it's quite the opposite, it's very personal and you leave not only feeling as if you got a chance to meet him, but you are actually pulling for John to make it as an author. That may sound funny but it is a great feeling to have after such an event. (This is John's first novel).
John gave us a nice insight into the world of publishing, the things he had to go through to get his book out into the market place, the sense of timing, reviews, and even appearances.
Speaking with Anne afterwards, it couldn't have been a better talk for me to sit in on, and I couldn't have agreed with her more. It gave me a lot to shoot for on March 2nd, and I hope I give half as good of a presentation, I would consider it a really good start.

You can find out more about John Burley here at his website:

or you can find him on Goodreads and read some of his outstanding reviews for his book:

Trailer for the Novel : Red Planet Pioneer - Modulus of Resilience

This took a few more weekends than planned, but I am happy to post the first trailer for the Sci-fi Novel: Red Planet Pioneer - Modulus of Resilience. Linda Borg is always such a pleasure to work with, and did the voice over for this piece. I pulled music from Timothy Tibbetts - a song (City of Life) off a CD he did a while back. The comic book (1999) characters make an appearance in support of the novel. You can download FREE samples of the novel either from:

Updates on My Other Projects

Just keeping anyone who might be following this posted on my other endeavors.
For the past five years I have worked through an organization I have formed called SkimChicks, which promotes the women of skimboarding. In the past 5 years we have gotten the sport of skimboarding to recognize these women and provide them with a professional division within contests, which has eventually lead to them being apart of their pro tour (the UST).
This past October 5th and 6th saw the final stop of their truncated professional tour, (they were given tour stops halfway through the UST season...which caught a lot of the female athletes off guard...but in the end was a good thing.)
I covered their first stop at Aliso State Beach, in Laguna Beach, CA. and the last stop which was Oktoberfest in Newport Beach (Balboa Pier). These contests are very fun and action packed. A great way to spend part of your day at the beach, and if you are a competitor the sport itself is very addicting.
Our facebook page has the most current postings, https://www.facebook.com/OfficialSkimChicks
 and our instagram page (#skimchicks) is reserved for capturing the spirit of the contest on the day.
I will be posting photos as I process them over the next few weeks from the Oktoberfest contest of October 5th and 6th.
Two things are close to being launched for SkimChicks.
Our Skimming Waxy - Waxy Skim Chix
and our Clothing Line....(which will be launched on line...).
Working on my second Novel...which is coming along just fine...around 290 pages into it....
That's a little window into what I have been up to for the past few weeks....please don't forget to enter the contest on Goodreads.com to have a chance at winning a FREE copy of my first novel: Red Planet Pioneer - Modulus of Resilience....(a link for it is in my last post...).
Thanx for following along . . .
