Need a publisher stat.

It's been a while since I have wrote anything on my blog. Life has moved along and I am still struggling to get a publisher for my books. My first book, I Could Be Killing You, I paid to get it published thru Author House. You can get your own copy on Amazon and you won't regret it. It's one hell of a sexy serial killer book. A bigger body count then there are chapters and the kind of death you can cheer for. It's the kind of book that's, Fifty shades of Grey mixed with a little Hanibal Lecktor. The main Character doesn't eat no body parts, but everyone dies in a different way, every chapter. It's the kind of book that will capture your imagination and get your motor running. It's the kind of book you won't regret reading, but It will be hard to put down once you start. I'm trying to find an agent to, but I haven't had any luck in that department either. If I could just get a big publisher to read it, I know they would love it. My second book, I call it my Hemingway, because his books helped to inspire me to write it. It is called, Such is Life and it is a great story. It is based a couple of decades before World War 2 and leads right up to the war. It tells the story of James and Lily who just got married and are both from rich families. The story starts in New York City and ends in Montana when he breaks ties with the family business, then starts his own by building a sawmill in the small town they settle in. They become good friends with someone he hires to help run the mill and both their wives get pregnant around the same time. As the town grows, so do their kids, who they think will end up together when they get old enough. Things don't go quite as planned when the daughter falls for another and things get a little crazy between the two families. The one she falls for ends up getting drafted and who knows his future. I don't want to spoil it for you, but it is an excellent read. Maybe a publisher will read this and get interested. I put in the work, so why can't I get a publisher. So many books not worth reading out there with a publisher, and all I want is to get taken seriously for once in my life. I've been writing stories since I was 9 and I'm now 44, so I would say I have put in dues to the book industry. I just hope that someone looking for that next great book will read this, I deserve a proper look. Until next time,

Siblings

I heard in a movie once, you don't turn your back on family, even if they do. How long and how many times do you go through the same shit with them. Twenty or thirty times of you trying to get them out of trouble? But how much is to much when a needle and their drug of choice has them by the throat. Or what about how many times they have been to prison? That same old story they tell you while they are in there. I'll never do that again and I will stay clean when I get out. But it's all a lie and it is every time they tell it. My last straw with two of my brothers came after I got them early parole, a place to live and a job where I was working at the time. We don't speak any more and they are both back on the needle. I have six siblings and I only talk to my brother Todd. He was smart like me and moved out of state, away from the rest of them. I hope it's different for you with your siblings. Just remember to love the ones you can, while you can.

Politics

Is it just me or are all of you sick of all these ads on TV where they just spout crap about each other. Very little is of a positive nature and it just another reason I don't vote. To me there are no good politicians, they are all lying about something. So you have to sift through all the bad and decide who is the best of the worst. In the end, they get into office and nothing gets done in the long run. So how do you trust any of them and why do we vote? To me, it's a dead end situation that will never change. You got to ask yourself, why spend millions in commercials to get a job worth 60 grand a year. It's for all those kick backs worth millions a year, to buy their votes. It's a vicious circle with no end in sight. That's just what I think, how about you? Until next time,

Quit Smoking

Talk about one of the hardest things anyone can do. It seems simple enough, just put them down, throw them away or give them to someone else. It's not though, and most will hide what's left of their pack for when they want to sneak one. Some people tapper off the smokes, but people like me go cold turkey. That's right, I just quit 3 days ago and I am split between being glad I quit and the need to take that next drag. People think it's only a cig when they start, it's cool, I can stop anytime. I started when I was 11 and I have quit a few times. It never seemed to take, but I hope it will this time. People don't think it, but they are as addictive as all those hard core drugs out there. Not only that, they can kill you or just leave you with a hole in your throat. So think about quitting for your health and for all those around your cloud of smoke. I recommend Chantix to have a real shot at quitting. Until next time,

Neighbors

How well do you really know them? Some don't know their neighbors at all. You see them leave their house every once in a while and you don't even wave to these people. You see that a lot in big cities and all the buildings they live in. Some even die, but no one knows until the smell drifts into the hallway. Some think they know their neighbors very well, but that's not always the case. Like with serial killers. Point in fact, John Wayne Gacy, his neighbors really liked him until the smell got to bad coming from under his house. Remember this, every serial killer in history had neighbors at one time. Just a little something to think about, can you truly know your neighbors? Until next time,

Drugs are killing

I know you see it all the time, with your brother, your sister or even one of your parents. My family is no different and it's killing them everyday of their life. Snorting for some, but the needle for even more out there. They are a shell of their former self, the real walking dead. They wake up everyday and their first thought, is where they will get their next taste. Not what they will eat or should they take a shower. No, they scramble for that next fix that will get them by. Two of my own brothers I helped to get out of prison early, gave them a place to live and got them a job. I tried so hard to keep them clean and today, they are both back on the needle, a shell of their former self. It can happen to any family, so just hope it doesn't happen to yours. Until next time,

Abortion

This is a very touchy subject, and that's exactly why I wanted to post about it. I believe there is two sides to this subject, but not exactly what you think. To me the only reason I am against it, is when a woman uses it for birth control. I know a female, who I will not name, who had to many abortions in her life time. To me, that is as wrong as it gets and that's a big reason why people stand out there holding signs. Now on the other side of that coin flip, there are many reasons why those idiots shouldn't be out there holding signs. For one, how about those women out there that are raped. Imagine if that were your daughter, your wife, your niece or even your grand daughter. If it was one of them, are you still ready to put that sign in their face? How about those who could die trying to be pregnant? Shouldn't they have the choice to live? Just something to think about the next time your ready to stand out there with a sign in your hand and screaming at the women going into one of those places. And last but not least, let's not forget about those that go there to get birth control. Do they deserve to be called a baby killer? Until next time,
