1) Write Steps With God: 70 Daily Devotions & Writing Tips for New Authors. When I began to seriously study the craft of writing, I took notes and tabulated a list of over 50 writing rules. An idea sparked (from God, of course) to enhance the list with scriptures about writing, application and prayer, as well as advice from successful authors. Solicitations for quotes to prublished writers produced a bumper crop. And now this completed manuscript is in the editing/rewrite phase. It will soon be ready for marketing. This WIP contains quotes from authors like James Scott Bell, Patricia Rushford, Sally Stuart, Stan Baldwin, and many more, including book quotes from Ann Rule, Stephen King, and Jerry Jenkins.
2) Perfect Witness
What if an undercover FBI Agent is faced with a case all of
his training and experience can't help him solve? What if
he's in a battle for his life, but really it's a battle over his soul?
This completed suspensful romance novel caught the eye of an editor at a large publishing house in New York City. The editor requested several changes. The reworking was recently finalized and the manuscript is back in her hands. I hope to have good news soon.
3) The Relentless DA is the sequel to Perfect Witness. Although in its infant stage, The Relentless DA may be my most aesthetic writing to date. Unfortunately, this WIP is on the back burner due to required reworking of Perfect Witness. I hope to complete The Relentless DA in 2010.
4) NATE: MADD at the Devil
I'm thrilled with my most important writing project. This contemporary non-fiction book reads like a novel. It's the true story of an amazing young man's inspirational journey from teen partier and criminal, to African Missionary. The intended audience includes young adults, prison inmates, juvenile delinquents, MADD groups, Christians and missionaries. Basically anyone who needs hope and a miracle in their lives.
