I have three great announcements:
No Rest for the Weary 06/18/2010
 Sleep? What's that? I think the title says it all. Releasing two books back-to-back is insane. I think I can effectively hold a conversation in my sleep. (smile) But there is so much more to do. This weekend I'm kicking off a Juneteenth parade in Austin, TX. I've also be asked to speak on camera. I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the clip will be used during the evening news. Then next week, let the game's begin. It's the official countdown to the Black Diamond release. Yeah! What's NextMy next big online event is June 22, 2010 when I chat with a book club about Black Diamond.  We are working, working, working to pull together the virtual book tour for Black Diamond. Will you join us? What do I need to do Ja'Nese? I'm so glad you asked. **laughing** 1. You must have a website, blog, radio show, etc. 2. Complete the form, showing your interest. 3. Watch your email box for my response. It's that simple. Now...are you game?I Am Tom Wolfe? 04/12/2010
I am working hard between writing and finalizing my promotional events. I found a interesting quiz link hiding for me in my Twitter direct mail. The question was... The Which Crazy Writer Are You?My results...  Tom Wolfe Ah, the life of a wall flower. You get to hang out with the most interesting people - radio DJs, hot rodders, hippies, Hell's Angels, Wall Street tycoons, frat boys - and are completely happy putting them into the spotlight. You're completely happy hanging back with your martini and your little notebook, jotting down all your little observations, in sight but out of mind. Sure, everyone at the party knows who you are - but do they know the real you? And, more importantly... Read my results. Feature on Terra Little Blog 04/06/2010
 As you all know, I'm finishing my first book. This past week I've been rounding out my research with documentaries, interviews, and reading several books. I needed to fill in the gaps of my knowledge about the National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). I also did some digging into international rebel groups, particularly those in South African countries. Lastly, I did research on conflict diamonds, which included the Kimberly Process and domestic and international laws. Needless to say I am tired. I'm certain I have information seeping out of my ears; however, I know it is necessary to deliver a realistic and entertaining story. All in all, things have been moving according to schedule. I have my test readers eagerly waiting for their copies and I find myself scared half to death after watching a documentary about the NSA's handling of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Let me explain.... Black Diamond has a subplot that toys with the tension between the FBI and the CIA. To assist in creating the agency tension between the characters, I decided to watch several documentaries. I popped popcorn, grabbed a Diet Coke, pen and paper, and settled in for a night of learning. Things were going well until I tried to go to sleep. After watching several hours of footage regarding the NSA's and FBI's handling of the 9/11 I found it extremely hard to sleep. I felt like someone was watching. I know, it sounds a bit kooky but I felt like that crazy 80's song...you know that one..."I always feel like somebody's watching me..." Despite my little scare, my research is almost complete, and I'm sure I don't have to spell out why I have decided to watch my documentaries during the day (::laughing::)....
