Keep it Real!

Hi there! I think it’s high time to drop the pretense that I’m a mid-list author, don’t you? In point of fact, I’m just a writer, period.

As a writer, I started this blog to establish an online presence. Now, given that I should be using my blog to reach readers, here’s some things you might like to know about Sam McRae, the protagonist in my mystery series. Please click there to “like” it on Facebook, okay?

Well, let me tell you, Stephanie Ann “Sam” McRae is a tough-talking, lawyer-sleuth, and champion for the underdog. The series is set in the Maryland suburbs, between Baltimore and Washington.

While Sam doesn’t seek out danger, it occasionally finds her. Having been orphaned while young, Sam is willing to go the distance for her clients, because she knows the system from both sides. As a result, she feels an intense loyalty and sense of duty to those in need.

Now, in case you’re wondering, the Baltimore-DC suburbs where Sam works look nothing like this …

In fact, here are actual headlines from the local news:

Aide to deaf students charged with sexual abuse.

Apartment complex for homeless planned in North Laurel. Laurel, MD has a BIG homelessness problem. And lots of prostitutes doing business along Route One. Sam could get involved in a case related to those issues. Interested?

Here’s another for you. Opposition to Islamic Center. Yeah, really. And people ask me where I get my ideas. Ha!

Even a giant solar farm has created controversy. That’s just more ideas for moi.

Now … in between begging and pleading for donations for my Indiegogo campaign, because I’m not a hypocrite and the cosmos has kicked the crap out of me, but I refuse to stop goddamn it, I’ve been desperately working on upgrading my online shit, because this pretense can’t go on much longer. :-O

There are only 5 days left to contribute to this Internet hobo! Thank you.

And I’m on fucking Pinterest, too, okay??? Ha ha ha … Please check out my great shit or whatever. ROFL!!!

Okay … just to whet your interest, here’s one random sample of a thingie I pinned:

Now … just a few links of interest and I’ll shut up:

Crowdfunding is where it’s at!

Oh, brave new world of e-publishing … Hmm …!

That can’t happen here. Right? But these are interesting times.

Behind a flop, a play(wright) within a play. My, how horribly appropriate interesting.

Finally, from Nik Nak’s Old Peculiar, this quote and video:

“In the final analysis, the whole cause of world revolution hinges on the revolutionary struggles of the Asian, African and Latin American people who make up the overwhelming majority of the world’s population”

And RIP again to the great Dave Brubeck. A real legend.
