I turn my attention to something I want to learn, a piece of music, a foreign language, some skill set that I might use in writing, but that is not itself a writing project. In a few days, sometimes a few weeks, I am back in the swing of things. (less)

But, far in advance of that idealized end point, I learned to write well enough to attract a body of readers. I think that you must believe that you have a story to tell, one that is unique to you. And, believe that you can tell that story better than anyone. In time, often sooner than you think, especially if you make writing as much a part of your life as sleeping and eating, you get to a comfortable place. (less)

Joe Carvalko I was hoping one of my friends on Goodreads might tell me how I could get a Goodreads Review for my recent novel, We Were Beautiful Once, Chapters from a Cold War (Sunbury Press, 2013). The book is a mystery, courtroom drama and love story, the plot which was inspired in-part by a trial I conducted to locate a POW lost in North Korea. My efforts were featured in a 2004 documentary Missing, Presumed Dead: The Search for America's POWs narrated by Ed Asner. I would be happy to provide a hard copy or Kindle download for anyone interested and willing to provide the review. My email is author@carvalko.com and my website is www.carvalko.com
