<span data-offset-key="1f4ac-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">“You must know I will not hurt you.” He spoke close to her ear as he pressed the length of his body against hers. “Look at me.” He urged. “I am called D’Jas.”</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="3mdip" data-offset-key="8udt8-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span data-offset-key="8udt8-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">A strong quiver ran though her. Pastel blue slanted orbs in a sensual alien face stared at her. She shook her head slightly, and an</span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> unbidden attraction swept over her. </span></div>
</div>

<span data-offset-key="1ukeu-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> He nodded and raised a webbed finger sliding it gently across her cheek. “You are lovely, Karla.”</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="3mdip" data-offset-key="5vig5-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span data-offset-key="5vig5-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">She tried to pull away, but he held her firm. “Damn you anyway, this is so not right.” </span></span><br />
<span data-offset-key="5vig5-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Glaring at him, Karla felt repelled and turned on at the same time. How could she feel such opposition running rampant inside her? “Just back off or I will scream.”</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="3mdip" data-offset-key="8a356-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span data-offset-key="ajaot-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">His cool breath rose across her forehead, his clean scent permeated her senses like fresh air after a rain.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="3mdip" data-offset-key="du4d3-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span data-offset-key="du4d3-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">“Your planet is in danger from your solar star.” He spoke low, ignoring her proclamations.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="3mdip" data-offset-key="3o1rp-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<span data-offset-key="3o1rp-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">“Don’t you think I know that? How do I know you didn’t cause the threat to occur?” </span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="3mdip" data-offset-key="1amsp-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="1amsp-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;">
<span data-offset-key="1amsp-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He let go his grasp and moved back a few steps. “I would not do that.”</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="" data-block="true" data-editor="3mdip" data-offset-key="3jamk-0-0" style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; white-space: pre-wrap;">

<div class="_1mf _1mj" data-offset-key="6ldv2-0-0" style="direction: ltr; position: relative;">
<span data-offset-key="6ldv2-0-0"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">He sighed. “Remember our touching?”</span></span></div>
</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i>A young musician with an astounding ability he doesn’t truly want.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Nick parked the YD3 under the Mystic River bridge and leaned against the bike’s seat. He stared at the huge moon rising over the city, wishing he was sharing this sight with his Krista. Breathing in he let his mind drift to thoughts of her. He missed her, wanted her more than ever. But life had a way of keeping them apart. Dreams, that’s all he had of her now. He reached under his seat and pulled out a brew popping the top. His eyes traveled upward to the full moon again, huge and bright over the Boston Skyline, causing a reflecting glow across the river. He took a swig. “Krista,” he whispered. “Here’s to you baby…”</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Everyone who knows me knows I write imaginative alien characters. But really, writing SF and SF Romance is so much more than creating alien characters.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The world building of an alien culture/character is important, You really have to do your studying for this. For me it takes a lot of research. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It's still fiction, but if I can't lace my stories with plausible scientific theories it just won't work for me. Now that's not to say I drone on and on about quantum physics. No way, that would bore even me. But alien cultures can be very complex and difficult to execute. I do have to know what I'm trying to relate to a reader. Yet I also give myself lots of flexibility while creating imaginative possible worlds and realities. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Take that awesome theory of traveling faster than light speed--one of my favorites by the way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Think about this— in <i>Star Trek</i>, the characters travel at warp speed. (Warp 1,2 3 4, etc.) Technically the speed of light is approximately 186,282 miles per second. </span>According to <i>Star Trek,</i> calculating warp speed goes by the warp-cubed method. (X^3) X to the third power. So warp-1 would be speed of light. Warp-2 would be 8 times the speed of light and so on. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Fast yes, but did they ever even leave the Milky Way Galaxy? Remember that ST <i>Voyager</i> got lost in the Delta quadrant— still in our own galaxy. According to the <i>Trek</i> idea, our own galaxy is teaming with intelligent life. Thousands upon thousands of planets with advanced cultures. Science fiction, yes. But based on theories and technology we are verging on now. Still that's a lot of fodder for a writer's imagination!</span></div>

Though traveling at FTL (faster than light) varies, speeds could actually reach billions of miles per second. Now we can travel to distant-- <i>Galaxies</i>. Find more life—as much as we know now about quantum physics—there are thousands of galaxies with billions of stars, millions of planets and possible advanced life and cultures. Kind of boggles the mind doesn’t it? </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Take the ancient starship in <i>Stargate Universe</i> (SGU) It is traveling at FTL.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So in reality, we mere earthlings will have to master and amass so much technology and knowledge before we can even explore our own galaxy, much less others. Well hey, that’s why I love Science Fiction. It lets me live outside the normal realm of present day knowledge and reality as we know it. And I can create imagined worlds, aliens and cultures that could possibly exist somewhere out there.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">And those sexy encounters between alien characters from totally different evolutionary backgrounds? I love exploring how they would interact and relate to each other. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">So what is your take? Do you like to watch read or write SF/R? If so, what level of technology do you like to see? Do you like aliens that are very different from us?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">“Are you ready for this
one?” Nick pulled her close for another kiss. He whispered, “We’re
gonna do ‘Love Not War’ tonight.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">The band headed back to
the stage, all but Cosmo who had sauntered off somewhere with a group of friends.
As they strummed and tuned, Nick turned on the microphone and said, “Hey Cosmo
Pratt, come to the stage.” His voice boomed through the speaker.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">A few minutes later Cosmo
jumped onto the stage and took his place behind the drums. Nick adjusted his guitar
strap and turned away from the audience. Cosmo raised his sticks high in the
air twirling them between his fingers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

together. “One… Two… Three… Four…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Nick strummed a forceful
chord on his guitar and the crowd cheered. The band joined in and the music
rose in a hard driving rock beat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">How I write the Soul-Love Series<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">It always starts with a visual, and then expands into a movie inside my head…<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Every author is different in their approach to creating a story. Yet we all have similar aspects to our process, such as finding our characters, settings, and other things. I was thinking about this as I work on creating the third book in the Soul-Love series, AGAIN HOPE.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">As this series unfolds the stories become more intense. Main character Nick Zelmenis gets deeper into learning who he is, and what he intends to do with his discovery. This particular story is more focused on Nick, because his character warrants a deeper look.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">In sharing my creative process, I will say this, depending on the story or genre I am writing at the time this process may differ. But for me it always starts with a visual, and then expands into a movie inside my head. I see the characters as their lives unfold and watch as things happen to them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">I get inside their life, experience, and emotions, in a slow-motion view as I watch the story develop. This goes on for a while before I even put pen to paper or fingers on keys. And continues throughout as I write it. Although I may jot down several ideas or a few scenes along the way in One Note, or in a paper notebook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">But no matter what I am seeing in that creative movie, at some point I need to do the research. I admit this can also develop more as I do the actual writing. In the case of this series, there was the 1960s-time period to research, and the music/preforming arts of the era as well. Along with things dealing with psychic abilities and even quantum physics. Yeah. Because these are all important aspects.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Writing time period is a task in and of itself. But truly, these characters just won’t let go until I tell their stories. When I first started seeing this series, I had a longer length novel in mind, and the overall story lends well to that. But I wanted to pull slices of the life of characters Nick and Krista outward. So, I found them at Halloween and Christmas to see what they were doing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Thus, ALL HALLOWS EVER and ALMOST HOME were born. The third story is not connected to a holiday but takes place in late spring, as Nick realizes there is something wrong with Krista. At the same time, he must deal with the waning of his reluctantly held psychic abilities, and why. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">As I move forward with AGAIN HOPE, I am discovering more about characters, Nick and Krista and the undying love they share. Book four of the Soul-Love series is already on the horizon, but that’s an idea for another day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Suffice it to say these stories will continue. AGAIN HOPE will release in late spring. Watch for it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The
sweet and highly sensual Soul-Love Series is about a couple who is destined to
be together. AGAIN HOPE, the third book, due to release in the spring, features lovers Nick and Krista from All Hallows Ever and Almost Home. If you’d like to get a
feel for my Soul-Love Series, these books are now available on <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kaye-Manro/e/B003ZKVKM4" target="_blank">AmazonKindle</a> for $.99 each. </span><br />
<span style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-indent: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The vintage stories are set in
mid-1960s Boston amid the backdrop of the music and performing arts industry of
that era. However, the main theme in all the Soul-Love books is the undying love
Nick and Krista share and the insurmountable odds they face to be together.
There are twists and surprises as Nick continues to uncover his psychic
abilities, who he is, and what he can do.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Christmas morning, 1966 Boston. The day after the
horrendous snowstorm that hit the northeast with unrelenting force. It had left
Nick with a hard decision to make about using his psi powers if he wanted to
get back to Krista for Christmas Eve. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now home, Nick stood by the window in their flat looking
out at the deep snow drifts covering everything. Lost in thought he wondered how
his world would change in the coming new year, possibly in ways he did not want…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

under the covers, interrupted his reverie. She rolled over and leaned her head
on her hand as she watched him. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

She giggled. “How’s that sound?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“I was thinkin’ the same thing.” He scooted close to her and

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He inhaled and tossed his head back. “Just tired I guess.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Nick was good at skirting issues and shielding her from truths.

<span style="color: #111111; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The soul-love continues to grow and deepen between rock musician Nick Zelmenis and ballet dancer Krista McBaine. But now they are faced with other difficult obstacles to overcome.</span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Nick is busy repairing his motorcycle after the horrendous winter storms. And he is dealing with a recording contract which contains a controversial twist. As his psychic abilities become stronger, Nick discovers more about himself and his real identity.</span><br />
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Krista is in rehearsal preparing for one of the biggest dance events of the year. Although she can’t see it or feel it yet, something is wrong. Nick senses things are not quite right with her even though Krista insists she is fine. He connects with his innate psychic abilities to find out. This time it isn’t enough.</span><br />

</span>
<span style="color: #111111; font-family: georgia, times new roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">She becomes seriously ill and modern medicine fails to cure her. He must delve far into his expanded supernatural gift to find an answer. But can Nick discover how to save Krista in time?</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">From the beginning, I could feel the
love between Nick Zelmenis and Krista McBaine. I was drawn into their unique
world in 1966 Boston as the story unfolded. Nick is a musician with uncanny
psychic abilities and Krista is a classical dancer studying at a Conservatory.
His rock band is playing at a Halloween themed gig and he convinces Krista and
her friend to costume up and dance while the band performs on stage. It is
refreshing to see the interaction between the two of them and how the events
that unfold reveal the depth of their love. Nick and Krista share the ‘ultimate
wireless connection.' They have a unique telepathic bond, no cell phones or
text messages needed. The secondary characters lend to the authenticity and
help round out the story well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In the 1960’s you were lucky if you
had a TV in your home and payphones were the norm. Walkie-Talkies were around
but even the best ones only had a range of a few miles. This is evident in the
story when Nick tries to contact a bandmate using a walkie-talkie during a
tense situation.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This short love story engaged me, I
enjoyed it and I recommend it. But I would like to see this Soul-Love idea
expanded and these characters explored further by the author.<br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">So what was the BOSTON SOUND and how did it effect my Soul-Love stories which are set in the mid 1960s?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The
main character Nick Zelmemis and his rock band from the books ALL
HALLOWS EVER and ALMOST HOME are part of the BOSTON SOUND. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This particular rock music scene was a real movement popular in the mid to late 1960’s. Promoters
sought out area bands with a specific style and progressive sound. They looked
for original songs, strong vocals, a high level of synthesized keyboards,
powerful guitar work and a driving beat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">These
bands were signed often by record companies. Some made it nationally, many
didn't. Still the Boston sixties rock music surge paved the way for later bands
from the area such as Aerosmith, Boston (the band), and others who came along
in the seventies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">In
an excerpt from a interview at the end of ALL HALLOWS EVER, I asked Nick Zelmenis, who was so much a part of that sixties rock scene, if he thought his band
fit what the promoters want. </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 0in;">His band recently came from the barely scraping by bar circuit when they were discovered.</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large; text-indent: 0in;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">This is what Nick said: </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">“...Well yeah. But I think the biggest
thing that impressed the BOSTON SOUND guys was the undertone of Franklin’s synthesizer and maybe some of the songs I write and sing. But I know for sure it was the far out way our
band just jells, ya know.” </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">All HALLOWS EVER has released now and last ditch edits done, this girl can relax. Kick back after all those long late night edits and rewrites. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Or can she?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Promoting is a thing unto itself. And not something I enjoy like I once did. It could be because I feel kind of lost and overwhelmed out there in promo land these days. It's different than it use to be. And I'm different. So off I will go to see how things work. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">I believe as I always have that it isn't about just promoting a new book, but promoting yourself as an author. And with the explosion of Indie authors, it can be down right daunting just looking to see what's out there, who does this promo thing the best, and how to do it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Lots to think about and do if I want to keep on writing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>"And I do yes I do, don't you know that I want to..."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">(hmm, where'd that line come from? Yeah.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Did I say I need coffee? Lots and lots of Coffee. </span><br />

Nick lay with his body wrapped around Krista as she slept in his arms. He snuggled his face into her long amber hair and breathed in her heady scent. She smelled of tea and soap. He pushed his thoughts across her mind. "I love you dancer girl and all I want to do is live right now right here with you. Forget futurizing. Forget seeing visions I don’t want to see. I just wanna watch you dance… Write and play my songs… Spend time with our friends." He chuckled a little. "And get paid for music gigs even if it isn’t much..."</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Really? Well yes. It seems summer and September went by so fast! I see October as a</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"> time for stepping headlong into stunning fall with all the colors and changes. There is usually more warm cool days yet I know winter is straight behind it. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">October is a favorite month for me. And lest I forget the fun end of month celebrations of Halloween to look toward. Another fun thing is the release of Halloween themed books to find. But a</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">fter the 31st winter's chill is on the rise with more cold days and the winds of November. What do you like about October?</span><br />

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Most anyone who reads fiction these
days has heard of or read stories with a Steampunk theme. This genre exploded onto the scene several years ago in books and film. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The Sherlock Holmes movies for instance have strong steampunk elements. But there may be some
who don’t know or understand this type of work, or exactly what is meant by "Steampunk". </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The
following is a brief explanation of this fascinating genre.</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Steampunk is<b> </b></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">a style of writing
inspired by science fiction. It combines historical elements and settings with
anachronistic attributes. And typically features steam-powered machinery—cogs,
wheels, gears— rather than advanced technology. </span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">The creative ideas can be endless and exciting to explore inside this type of genre. To capture the essence of this unique theme think H.G. Wells and Jules Verne.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: x-large;">Steampunk fashions seen in media most always pay homage to the vintage Victorian era with a touch of mechanical flair mixed with a modern flavor. </span></div>
