BOOK DESCRIPTION

Chasing the Trickster




One Man, Two Women, Two Gods...who will survive the Trickster's snare?

Ghostly images materialize in Nina Weaver's photos. Goons try to kidnap her. When her photographs are stolen and her best friend is shot, she realizes that she has no one to turn to but her ex-lover, Pascal ""Goofy"" Guzman. Together they go on a desperate road trip in search of answers. The truth is darker and more terrifying than Nina could ever have imagined. After their love re-ignites, they fall into the Trickster God's trap.





EXCERPT

Chasing the Trickster




She stared at the photo on the gallery wall and silently swore. All semester ghostly images had marred her work. And now not only a strange inclusion ruined her photo, but the pin light needed to be repositioned as well. She found a ladder in the hallway supply closet. Balancing precariously on the top step, she noticed that the imperfection had changed into the image of a vehicle, and it was on fire. She could see the superheated air wavering up off of the flames. The crackling and sudden heat of a blaze forced her to lift a hand to guard her face. It was going to explode. She was quite sure of it. And then she was falling backwards, falling down…





MY REVIEW

Chasing the Trickster




Nina, her best friend and next door neighbor Rich Flannery who she calls "the Geekboy" are out at "Mickey's" on a Saturday night. A guy dressed in a black t-shirt, blue jeans and cowboy boots walks up to their table. Now Nina is ready to jump this guys bones right there in Mickey's place. He ask Nina if she works at Quasi Gallery and tells her that he is interested in the photos of Nina Weaver and wants to buy one of her pictures in her Spiritus line. Nina knows if she tells him to go to the gallery to buy the photos that the gallery will get a commission. So she tells him that she is Nina. He wants to know if she has more photos?

Nina and the cowboy who tells her his name is Joe Guzman are very attracted to each other. Nina and Joe start hanging out together. After Joe and Nina spend a lot of time together and Nina has started to care a lot for Joe he just ups and disappears right out of the blue. This upsets Nina a lot because she hasn't cared about anyone in a long time.

Chasing the Trickster has a lot of twist and turns that just when you think you have it all figured out bam something else hits you in the face. April Grey keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. She takes you on the ride of your life. She keeps everything hidden right up until the end. You think you know what is going on and then you turn the corner and your like what just happened?

Writing for e-zines 13 SPOTS LEFT

April Grey. The best piece of advice I ever had as a budding novelist was to also write short pieces.

This course will teach the beginning writer how to research markets, evaluate their own work, write a cover letter/follow up query and track their stories.
