My husband is starting to write a book about weather patterns...not funny, unless you've had a few. Then, the word Mammatus is hysterical!

Like many frustrated writers, I started a novel about 10 years ago. The first 30 pages are somewhere on my computer. Probably in Word2. lol.

No, but there was a time that I considered writing one called....

Raising Children for Fun and Profit.

Never had the time.

That must have been in the olden days. No profit in them nowadays other than supreme happiness.

Yes, I wrote and published a children's story "The Worm Tickler" and my dear friend illustrated it. Available Amazon and Facebook, or message me

Default I knew there was talent on these TOTV pages

Thursday at our LaZamora meeting, we had the pleasure of meeting Don Goldstein who co-authored the book "Amelia - A life of the Aviation Legend", very interesting

I also authored a short story collection. Admit it was published too early and there were issues in the book that were since corrected. Two stories I completely rewrote, whikle the other stories also were revise and reedited.
I intend to publish these and twenty five other stories again. I am currently working on a novel about Human Trafficking.
Note: There are a handful of writing groups in The Villages and I suggest you check them out.

I've always wanted to write a book but realized I never would have that much talent. I think I will go to the author's group and check it out.

Someone I work with is a published author and she wrote a couple of books about fictional witchcraft.

Default My older brother authored an apocalyptic book.

http://www.paforge.com/files/resources/pa_books.pdf

It is one of these but actually posting my older brother's name would kind of defeat the semi- anonymity allowed on TOTV at least for people I have not met somewhere in the Villages or elsewhere.

I have probably sent a small library of e-mails out in my fight for respect for survivors/victims of violent crimes over the past 15 years or so but have never written a book. Not sure anyone would believe some of the things that happened if I did.

Maybe you could write a fictional murder mystery. I know that Dick Wolf, (Law an Order for one), made a fortune out of doing it.
