AN INSPIRING MAIL FROM A DISTANT FRIEND

Very happy day, my dear friend,


Today I have received an email from a distant friend, whom I have not met before. However, it was very kind of him to blog my article on his novel, which I have blogged it out through the links below:-

 http://profileofauthor.blogspot.com/2011/06/ivan-king.html


http://liftyouup.blogspot.com/2011/06/ivan-king-author-valley-of-steel.html


One point that touched me dearly is that his blog issue did not deter him from rebuilding it and convey his heartfelt thanks and all the sweet comments, far beyond what I deserved. Lately, he was having problems with his Blog; well here it is, someone hacked into his gmail account and deleted it. Upon doing that he/she also deleted his blog. I am deeply sorry for him and truly know how he felt. This is because both had taken him so long to build and much efforts had been put in. He is a real man of steel, who chosen the painstaking process to rebuild his new blog. And now his new blog finally is out and he instantly put a shout out to me, which I am truly touched and appreciates what he has done for me. Our friendship begins to blossom and I write to thank him and I feel honoured to be treated as his brother.



Append below is the message he has blogged out for your reading pleasure.

IVAN KING - AUTHOR "VALLEY OF STEEL"

Hi ! Folks,


Although Ivan King had a humble beginning, it did not deter this steel man from shining. It is very interesting to note that he has a very strong determination to fan the flames and face the fire. This man is my model and he has chosen the encouraging path to record his childhood memories in his novel, Valley of Steel.


The book recorded events which are heart warming and gut wrenching; forcing the reader to laugh and cry, cannot be more precise than what have been prescribed by reader review. Please get hold of this book and check it out yourself. Don't take our words for granted. Let us know whether you agree to our views of it.


This book may bring you back to your old days which may offer you some light to shape your past events, similar to the way written by the above author, which of course will be of its kind.


Here, I chose not to disclose too much of it and let you do your own discovery. I am sure you too will enjoy reading it.


Append below please find the information of the author.


BIO

I was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1977, though my stay in Rio was to be short lived. Adopted from an orphanage, I was raised in Ipatinga’s, Valley of Steel. My favorite author is Hemingway; yet my favorite book, is Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. When not writing or reading, I play chess, the guitar, or else am out and about, perhaps at a Chinese buffet.


When I was eight, I read my first book, Judy Blume’s Superfudge and the rest is history. That is the story behind how my passion for reading began; how it ends…has yet to be written.


Currently, I am working on a couple dozen writing projects and turning some of my novels into screenplays. My first published novel, Valley of Steel, is a memoir of my life growing up in the favelas, or slums, of Brazil.


My favorite quote: “Today we do what nobody wants to do, so that tomorrow we will be able to do what nobody can.”


Title: Valley of Steel


Genre: Memoir


Languages: Portuguese, English


Overview


Sometimes Fate is unkind. Who would dare to look back and risk her wrath?


When you’re a child of the favela, in the Valley of Steel, you know that Fate comes like a whirlwind, lifting some to great heights and slapping others down without reason. Rescued first from an orphanage in the slums of Rio de Janeiro and then from the bleak streets of Ipatinga in Brazil’s Valley of Steel, Ivan, has been favored by Fate. When a phone call from Brazil interrupts his privileged life in America, he learns his best friend has committed suicide back in the rugged Valley of Steel, and only he knows the real reasons why.


This is the story of one man’s journey home after self-inflicted exile. The story of a boy who saw more than any child should and the man he grew into–and how that man came back to the Valley of Steel to avenge his childhood and stare down the demons of his past. It’s a story of survival, redemption, and joy. Of childhood memories that burn in the soul and what happens when one man has enough courage to fan the flames and face the fire.


Happy reading and look forward to receiving your feedback, as usual.

INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR - KERRY ROCKWOOD WHITE 

It is a great pleasure to have Kerry Rockwood White "Much Ado About Russian" review today. A very warm welcome, Kerry and thanks Kerry for giving us the chance to get to know you more and also for allowing us a glimpse of the world that you have created inside your writing. Thank you very much. Let her walk through her profile and book, as appended below, before we kick off the Q + A session.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR -Kerry Rockwood White
Kerry Rockwood White is the author of the book below.
AVAILABLE ON KINDLE NOW!
Do you love Vampire Fiction? Are you hungry for a new series to sink your teeth into?
It is now available in Kindle and Nook . The paperback is now available HERE.

The Fair Hero Series is a new series of vampire fiction that debuts with Much Ado About Russian, a thrilling combination of mystery, fantasy, romance and humor. You'll love Hero Fletcher, a sassy and sarcastic heroine who discovers the tall dark handsome stranger she has just met is even stranger than she imagined!


Q&A portion:

James: When did you begin to write?

Kerry : I've written off and on most of my life. When I was a young girl in school I would often ask if I could write my own story rather than do a book report.

James : What made you choose this genre and the title of your book?

Kerry: Frankly, one day my husband and I were making jokes about something to do with vampire stories or movies. I don't recall what it was exactly. Something had just struck us funny. I made a comment about a "Women's Guide to Dating Vampires". The seed was planted and after that the idea of creating my own vampire story started to grow.

Kerry:
As for the title, the main character is named Hero Fletcher. Her father, and English Lit professor, named her Hero after Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. And the mystery in this book revolves around an antique Russian snuff box. Hence, Much Ado About Russian.

James: Where do you get the inspiration for your stories?

Kerry: Some of the inspiration comes from my own life. I lost my mother to cancer a few years ago, and in the book, Hero has also lost her mother to cancer. Much of the inspiration just comes from things that interest me or that I believe people would find interesting. I like pop culture and you'll find a lot of pop culture references in the book. Hero and I are very similar in that regard.

James: Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?

Kerry: Hmm, what to say without giving too much away? :) Well, no sparkling vampires. (not that there's anything wrong with that) The first book has vampires, obviously, shape shifters and faeries. Other supernatural characters will appear as the series goes on. The supernatural world is all striving to solve an ancient puzzle. The Russian snuff box that is central to the plot of the first book is a piece of that puzzle. Each book will focus on the mystery as well as the relationship between the main characters, Hero and Kin.

They are light-hearted, funny and quick-paced. Hero has a great "voice". I love the way she communicates with the reader. I believe readers will indentify easily with her and enjoy her sarcasm and humor. As for the vampire angle, I believe I've added a few tweaks to the standard/modern take on the vampire lore.

James: Is there anything else you would like your readers to pay special attention in regards to your book, which you have not mentioned above?

Kerry: The faeries. The source of their magic. I may have very special plans for them in the future :)

James: When do you plan to publish your book 2.

Kerry: I hope to have it out by December.

James : How many volume of books for the above series ?

Kerry: I don't have a set number planned. Hopefully, if people enjoy it, it will be an ongoing series.

Thank again Kerry Rockwood White for joining us today. Let us wish her a fulfilling day.

Thank you!
