Ever since I was a little girl I have loved to read. My mother, always supportive, made it a point to take me to the library as often as I wished and to get to me to each and every school book fair. I would come home with bags of books and would gobble them up in only a few days. I would sit against my pony’s stomach when she was lying down in... more »

    Dear Renee:
    How are you and your family? My boyfriend, Danny and I are fine. What types of books do you write? What genres of books do you like? I like romance, romantic comedy, romantic suspense, some true crime, fiction, nonfiction, animal stories, I'm just starting to read some chick lit. I also love a good mystery (that keeps you guessing). I was just looking at your shelf. I would like to be your friend on Shelfari. Please write back. Sincerely, Judy PS: Could you recommend some good books for me to try? Thanks in advance.

    Here is a blurb about my new book—ON THE CREST. Comments welcome: Tige Anderson goes through a series of emotional, physical and psychological adventures in this coming-of-age roller coaster, balancing his life among his romantic trysts, his ambitions, his humanity and his gay best friend. The one thread that connects all of the people in his life is the fact that the cycle of life puts everyone through a series of ups (‘on the crest’) and downs. Whether an individual winds up on top of the wave or under it depends on them.

    Prologue:

    [A mind full of shadows which form long, dark points that pierce the heart through and bring to consciousness the fierce pain of reality. Hooded specters that travel through space and time gathering up pieces of memory and bringing them together to form one melted block of pain and pleasure called the past.

    Were it possible to disintegrate as happens to dreams and tender moments. As powerful as these dreams and tender moments seemed at their inception, we come to realize that they are made of invisible particles of nothingness. Were it possible to just vanish like hopes made of tiny particles of nothing so would I be free of reality. And in that vanishing, would I finally be able to find peace.]

    Those thoughts flooded Tige’s mind as he sat and watched the pointed shadows caused by the brand-new-morning sun crawl across the floor in front of him. He had been all alone in the solarium since the middle of the night awaiting the sunrise as he did on many nights since he was put into that place. It was his favorite time of day. Anymore, each minute of the day was filled with painful recollection and doubt except for this brief, fleeting moment. It was a time, it seemed, that the earth, like him, was confused. It brought him solace to think that at this very moment, the entire universe, or so it seemed, was in a state of doubt and he was not alone. It was the time when day was pushing back night, eliminating the last vestiges of darkness to assume domination and live out its brief lifetime before dying and willing its realm to its brother called ‘tomorrow’. It was a time of starting over, of another chance. Days rolled in one after the other like the waves at the beach. It made one think that no matter how tragic the events that occurred in one solar period, there was always another; there was always another wave.

    Tige sat in his robe and pajamas on one of the couches in the solarium watching the morning sun get stronger, watching the streams of light come through the bars on the windows, hoping that the attendant would not yet realize that he was not in his room, which was where he should have been until breakfast which was still two hours away. He had done this so many times in the past but he was never discouraged from continuing to enjoy his moment of peace, but rather would endure the lectures from the staff about how everyone there must obey the rules so that all there could accomplish what they came there for.

    The reward that he got from this solitude was worth any reprimand which may have followed from the staff. He knew that his time remaining there was brief and he could continue this practice somewhere else. This was his time to savor the self-induced, companion-until-death torment brought about by events which had happened before and could not be changed. This was his time to not only enjoy the companionship of hope for tomorrow, but also to flog himself with memories and guilt for things that he had been instrumental in bringing to existence. He had to torture himself for what he had done or for what he had not done. With an almost painful enjoyment, Tige watched the single line of gray smoke from his cigarette and recalled the days past. He watched the ashes fall off like expended days gone by. He watched the orange line of fire racing toward its end.

    Again, comments welcome.
    The book can be purchased at barnesandnoble.com, amazon.com, authorhouse.com and many more sites. Thank you. Tony Carmine.

    Hi Bettina the reading lover, cool picture! If you like quirky books check this out. Go to my profile and click onto "about me" to read a short excerpt from my book. I had severe OCD, anxiety attacks, and depression for over thirty years but finally had enough and over came most of it. I wrote a quirky book called Man Interrupted that details how I did it. It's told in a funny way as in, "trying to confront my drug fears I end up having a drug dealer chasing me." I had all kinds of obsessions about germs etc. etc. I would turn faucets off with my feet, and so on! Go to www.amazon.com to check it out or pop into a Barnes and Noble or any bookstore. Let me know. I'm working on the screenplay now. best James.
