The Reader/Author Connection
As i sit here after a few days as a guest author at the Texas Word Wrangler Festival, I reflect back to all of the authors out there, tapping away at keyboards-creating their own little worlds in the hope that a few other people are ready and willing to pick up those pages, those characters on a screen- and absorb them, read their way into that special world the author has created.
Sometimes I wish i weren't an author and a professional artist, not because i don't love it, i do, but because i could have TONS of free time reading MORE of the MANY books out there! There are so many books and not hardly enough time to explore all of them. Reading books takes a time commitment that many people in our hectic world just DO NOT Have.
When someone takes the time to READ one of my books..I am thankful and happy, appreciative and feel blessed, I know i gave to them special feelings and emotions through my pages that they will remember.
The same whem I sell a painting-i feel amazed that someone loves that image as much as I did to create it. We have both shared and are connected forever through my painting.
Nest month I hope all my readers come together to help me by grabbing their 1st copy of MONTANA MIST, my new novel.

Cool sentences
The launch date for my new novel, Montana Mist, has now been pushed back to allow for the publisher to finish up with their end of the work. New launch date, November 17th, 2010. Just a few more weeks longer but remember just in time for Christmas. I would hope people would like to give the gift of a Montana Mist for Christmas presents to the avid readers in the family! Don't all authors wish that for their (Books/Babies)?
The cover looks great and the interior is a larger font to help out those with not as perfect eyesight. I know as an avid reader myself I always like the font to be larger. Those books with the tiny print can give me a headache.
The book trailer for Montana Mist, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDLXoH...
has gotten rave responses and the director/Editor has also gotten great compliments and more assignments from her outstanding work. Awesome job, Christy!
I've taken a break from writing the last three months, after completing my other novels, The Midnight Jungle, The Texas Sugar Pussy Kat Murders, and now i have been concentrating on my artwork and writing poetry.
Many novelists got their start writing poetry and it is something I have always come back to, just for the sjheer joy of the short form and the beauty of the language. I will always remember my poetry professor at college said, "Doug, you have the gift of "cool" sentences."
