Has anything happened since August 2013 lots for sure.<br />
Have I done anything .Sure. A documentary on prostate cancer in Barbados, a second edition of "Guilty" ,the main change is the cover. Present projects a third novel titled "Bad Deeds" for now. It's a totally new story no connection at all to the first two books. I am also looking at a non fiction audio book on track racing and considering making audio books of "Guilty" and "Revenge" .<br />
I have also been asked to make "Guilty" into a film. That I would love to do but I will have to find funding first, there's also another film project I would love to do, again waiting on funding.<br />
I aim to have "Bad Deeds finished by the end of the year as well as the non fiction audio book.<br />
<br />
There are going to be links to you tube videos of track days, where I take my Mazdaspeed 3 of automatic Suzuki swift sport and do battle with other car enthusiasts. Sure to give the blog some life.<br />

I was talking about my film "The Kite Flyer" and of course "Guilty! The Trials of Phil Ferguson." A big thanks to Alex Murray the producer and Teisha who gave me a great interview. I guess it helped that she loved the book. She also broached the idea of a film to "Guilty!"I told her other readers asked the same question. I would love to do it, but I have not yet worked out how and when. I will keep readers posted on that one.<br />
I also took the opportunity to promote my giveaway. 75 books given away so far! More to go .<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b>Can't Wait for More . . . A must Read</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">An epic plot, fast pace and believable characters make it difficult to believe that this is Sean's first novel. His combination of contemporary characters with their compelling stories is very realistic in the Barbadian society. Like other readers, only the most dire of circumstances pried it from my hands but I was on it again at the first available opportunity. Thank goodness I did not have to wait for the sequel. "Guilty" was breakfast, "Revenge" is lunch!</span><br />

<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Phil felt the tension in his body ease as the
effects of the alcohol made itself evident and Teddy's humour invaded his funk.
The soft easterly breeze and the laid back atmosphere of his location helped He
forgot about Isaac for more than moments at a time, he needed the breather he
was working himself up to breaking point. He looked around at the place ,not a
location he would choose to frequent but Teddy loved places like this and was
at home in the environment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Phil
favoured establishments with staff who took orders and served , often places
patronized by similar professionals and business men and typically located on
the West Coast . Here he was standing at an up ended barrel which served as a
table by the side of the road .Several other patrons were around their presence
evident by the boisterous conversations competing with each other for Phil's
undesired attention. There was no staff that came to take orders to get drinks.
Teddy went to the bar and ordered , or rather shouted, for the drinks and collected
them then took them to the table( or up ended barrel). He was sharing Teddy's
favourite drink Johnny Walker Black, but he chased with coconut water ,he was
in luck the shop actually had some whereas Teddy stuck to his usual chaser
Monster.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Phil was on his second glass. The first glass
kind of shocked his system ,he was so keyed up but the second one hit the spot
he was really feeling mellow. Phil was not much of a drinker, unlike his friend
facing him and pouring his fourth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"We should go in the club." Teddy
peered at Phil through his locks which fell across his face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"Club my partying days done long time ago.
I only shake a leg at Jade's invitation."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"I don't mean a night club ,I mean a strip
club. I mean girls." Teddy's eyes gleamed at his suggestion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"Come on Teddy ,you can't be serious."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"Serious as a judge presiding over one of
your cases in court.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Suddenly Teddy stood and banged the Johnny
Walker bottle on the barrel come tabletop , for a moment there was silence.
Teddy looked straight at Phil and threw his locks back out of his face.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">" I hereby sentence you to night of
fun."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Teddy delivered with
his sternest voice. Then he smiled a warm smile at his friend ,the subdued
light producing a glitter from Teddy's gold tooth .Teddy<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>then poured a glass for himself and
clinked glasses with Phil. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"Salud ,buddy."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Phil couldn't help but smile <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">"Salud."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText2" style="line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Phil finished his drink and by then was sweet
enough to follow any of Teddy's suggestions. They departed for the club in
Teddy's pick up truck.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

One of the things that struck me most was the passion the readers had for the story, the characters ,even the descriptions found in the novel. The passion was the same I saw in their North American counterparts at the Slam Jam conference in Little Rock Arkansas last month. They talked about their initial reservations in reading a novel by a local author. It is a common scepticism that a local author can produce a fiction novel with a reading experience as good as one offered by established North American or British authors. They did override their misgivings and read 'Guilty!" . They reported that they got a new experience, a thriller that read like an international book but with Bajan/Caribbean characters and set in Barbados .They loved it and they are ready for more. A sincere thanks to Michelle Hood who 'risked' choosing the book and recommending it to the club and to Celia who was one of the first fans and an active converter of her fellow readers.<br />
It was a special experience have discussions about the characters and their inner thinking as their personalities extended beyond the book in the minds of the readers. There was much very animated debate about Phil and Amanda , Jimmy the one we all love to hate and Teddy with his quirky charm . They also wanted to get to know Jade more. Interactions like this are priceless for me as a writer as I feel that all who have read the book have gotten a gift of hours of entertainment and distraction. It is very rewarding seeing people enjoy that gift.<br />
I gave them a preview to"Revenge" the sequel to "Guilty!". It's an excerpt with Phil getting himself into more trials and tribulations. (See the next blog if you want to read it). They loved what they heard and are ready for it. There was also talk of "Guilty!" being a film. I would love to see that happen myself and <i>you never know.</i><br />
I'm inspired to push on with finishing the sequel ,as well as improving my writing- thanks to Cool Readings Book Club- Michelle , Celia ,Karen, Claire and everyone else. Forgive me for forgetting those whose names I have not yet retained. Much love to all of you.Doc Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660664040509350177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170993326597898079.post-29310091675642373542012-05-01T13:54:00.003-07:002012-05-01T13:54:47.974-07:00Author Interviews -2012 Slam JamNorwood Holland interviews authors at 2012 Romance Slam Jam.<br />

Coming out of the Slam Jam Conference was a boost to write and I wrestle with the noble intention of writing everyday. Most writers know how hard that is especially when you have a full time life. The other thing was the boost to read, there were so many authors whom I met and whose books I want to read. In fact I read a few already . You can check my reviews at Goodreads and Amazon.com -the links are at the top of the page. It is a special experience to meet a person and be treated to a buffet of spicy literary treats that they provide .<br />
So far I've read Jewell and the Dapper Dan (Keith Thomas Walker), Sleepless Nights (Norwood Holland), The Playa's Handbook (Brenda Jackson) and now I'm on the Heist (Seinna Mynx). They've all been very good and I have many more to look forward to .<br />

Kudos to Claritta and the Sistas of Color Book Club for a very well organized conference. Awesome workshops with useful information and the camaraderie and support from fellow authors was outstanding. Also a great opportunity to meet readers and book club members who demonstrate an unbridled passion for their books and plenty of love for the authors. Much love to all of you. It was a fantastic experience that has changed the way I view writing and will stay with me for a long time . I'm looking forward to making contact with many of the people I met and interacting with them from here on .Doc Russellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660664040509350177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7170993326597898079.post-8122212222453085392012-04-11T10:29:00.000-07:002012-04-11T10:29:25.627-07:00Romance Slam Jam ConferenceI'm here in Little Rock Arkansas at the Romance Slam Jam Conference- meeting fellow authors and readers.<br />
