Life

My ADD often kicks in and has it's way with me. I started so many projects and I haven't finished one. People who say they don't believe in ADD and other mind altering diseases don't have the ability to think outside of their box, out of their own little World. This isn't a rant or a person going off the deep end. I'm a realist, I'm human and not perfect. I'm not a person that wants everyone to believe my life is always perfect because I'm human and plan to act as such. I guess I'm trying to say, I want people to know the real me, not someone that writes books or does music or writing someone's speech. I don't want to be a character like those I make up, I just want to be me. Human......

Well, I wanted to just put something out there. Back to the lab again. 

A break that I had to take.

My study time has been completed and now back to work. There are times I have to put things on hold (like my release of my book) to get other things done that needs to be taken care of. As much as I would love to put my all into this release, I'm still a human with a life to live and business to handle. Getting this book finally completed and the website up is now my only priority at the moment and it will be a quest I shall conquer. 

Writing is hard work when there's so many other things on one's agenda. Hopefully, one day the only thing on my To-Do list is to wrote, edited, and create. 

Golden Star

I look at myself as a golden star, one of a kind. With a mind that scares some and comfort others. Can't keep a star down because let's be honest, I light the sky.... 

Special

There's a lot of things we do on the daily. There's a lot of people we can make smile just by a mere gesture but most people don't, for whatever reason. If you can't deal with the heat from your doings, don't do it. A small gesture is worth the heat.

Life is too short to allow it to pass by, make someone smile even if you have to smile when you don't want too. 

Update

Still working at this first book. I want it to be as close to perfect as possible. #Grinding

One more book cover switch

Self publish mystery/murder novel "My First Kill".

Website and where to purchase, will be available soon. 

Lovely days

Book under final review, website under construction. What a great day!!

A little change

So right at the last minute I decided to change the book cover. I feel this one is more of a comparison to the structure of the book itself.

Great things comes to those who wait.

Everything seems to be going as planned although the book will not be available today to purchase but its all completed and its exciting. After today I will work on the second book and make it insanely better then the first.

A long time coming

It's been a long time coming. I've been working on this book for little over a year and now it's ready....

Copyright

The greatest thing in my World right now is getting this copyright completed. Afterwards its game on!!

Edits finally completed and ready to publish.

I'm thinking it may be smarter to start off with Barnes and Nobles as well as Amazon. It may not be what others are looking to start off with but for me, I have to go with the path that's best for me.. The release of: My First Kill (The Ryan Matters series) will be released on my birthday, September 10th.

Edits and changes.

Halfway through book one, making some edits and changes. Within seven weeks I hope book one will be in the hands of readers everywhere. 

Excited!

As of today 10:30am I am now a person that holds a Masters Degree. It has been a long journey and uphill battle but its done! Now I'm ready to focus on my complete happiness. Writing! 

Moving Forward

Today is the first day of writing for me after I finished all my schooling. I'm ready to write, publish, make reading back to being a focus point for people instead of TV. 

I apologize for the long delay on post.

I'll be back to my writing in July. I have to finish these last two classes first so I can focus on being the hottest book seller

UGH!!!

As much as I want to write, I find myself unable to complete more than a paragraph. So ill step back for now instead of offering foolery to my readers. I apologize for the delay.

Book cover?

I'm trying out a few book covers to see what I come up with. Although I plan on going through someone I figured I would play a little to see what I can come up with. Tell me what you think at dobensonauthor@gmail.com

A little about myself

I'm 35 years old, engaged, with no children. My life is pretty basic. I have two beautiful ferrets (Bandit & Faith). Living in Philadelphia Pennsylvania with my mate and lovely babies. I hold a masters degree in Public Administration, bachelors degree in Criminal Justice, minor in Psychology, and specialize in Forensics. My passion is to write, I'm able to free myself and my mind when the pen meets the paper or my fingers greet the keys.

I love sports.... all kinds of sports! My favorite is football, the team of my choice is the New York Giants (G-Men). I've played basketball, softball, volleyball, and rugby when I attended Kutztown University for fun. I found out that rugby is a sport that's not meant for everyone. I played a few games, ended up with a few broken ribs, and a slight concussion. Although sports is something that I've always loved, I don't do much of it because of my crazy schedule, but will hopefully get back to playing the sport I love the most, volleyball.

I enjoy art museums, tattoos, and piercings. All styles of music, along with all types of people. Children is the greatest gift to this Earth but because I can't devote my time to a child, I refuse to be selfish and have children when there are so many children in this World that needs a lovely home. Adopting is something I would be willing to do in the future, but this is not my time to do it.

I would love to travel to beautiful places, exotic places, places that will force my mind to run wild and besides the beautiful sights, and gain more murder ideas. I adore murder and see it as an art form but its not something I would do or condone. Taking a life is not an art, more distasteful than anything. But..... Telling stories about murder is where the art factor comes in for me.

God bless and God speed.

What if?

What if the story could write itself based on your thought patterns, based on your feelings, and the need to force people to feel clueless. The next murder is in the making but how well will Ryan's son deal with it? The love of hearing things go boom is something that everyone loves but Ryan's son is becoming a boom expert at a young age.

Living a normal life is something they never thought they would have but living so close to Dodge City and a cemetery lives will be taken unexpectedly, settle, but each murder only gets greater, deeper, more aggressive, and needless to say the blood thirst trio is going to take Delaware County by storm.

In book three of my trilogy bringing someone back that everyone thought was brutally murdered will be the exciting twist I needed.

Walk amongst the leaders

@D_O_Benson: I won't walk behind anyone, I will only walk aside those that matter and lead those that need assistance.

A lovely day to keep the faith

I follow my heart, not my dreams. Not saying that I don't dream because I do, but a dream with no action is just a fantasy that'll never come true.

I have two days with no class work so I plan to write every moment I get. I'm getting so close in finishing I can just taste it, taste the success that I've always wanted. I may not be a millionaire but I will be rich in my heart. It gets no better than that. There's not an amount of money in this world that will take away the joy of writing and accomplishing my goals. I WIN!!

Another day at the computer

It was flowing last night. I punched out 3000 words and still have until 1pm to keep going. I love when a plan comes together.

I don't know how I should feel about being able to punch out so much in such a short period of time. It feels good don't get me wrong and to bring my characters to the Pa/Nj area feels even better. I guess I don't look at writing like others do, I believe the area should have a purpose, a reason why they are there and what are their plans. TJ may end up being opposite is father and unrelated uncle, but we all are only one step of becoming murders.

It starts

Everything starts here. It starts with whatever I put out into the universe. The only question is will the universe retweet, share, or approve my messages.

Invisible writer

I've been under the weather these last few days and haven't had a chance to get a lot of writing done but it changed last night. I'm back, not at 100% but I was able to get some writing done which makes me feel better than I actually feel. Goodies mornings everyone.

Time to write, write, and write some more

The character in my assassin series is going to be unstoppable, sexy, strong mind as well as a strong will to survive, kill, and love.

My keyboard and computer dislikes me because I am on a roll!! Maybe ill be done the second book to the first series before May. MAYBE

Trying to get this chapter done

A high speed chase, bullets flying, flat tire, a dead body on the floor of the SUV. Looks like their luck is running out or is it? Maybe killing the people in the SUVs surrounding them would help with their escape, but how? They are out numbered by at least four, with both hands on the wheel they are one man down that can't hold a gun, let alone shoot it.

Early morning writing

Started at 4am and finishing up for the day. Ill write more tonight. My new goal is to get Ryan L Matters: The Unknown finished by May.

Happy Valentine's day everyone

Today is just like any normal day. Love is 365 days a year not just one day. Be blessed and thank whomever your saver is for the gift of love. Today I will write until my eyes cross. It'll be worth it in the end.

Research, research, research

It's great to see that I'm not the only one out there that research about the topics they write on.

Winning

@D_O_Benson: Great decisions opens up great opportunities.

Writer's block

This is something serious but not meant to get upset about. I have a note pad and a dozen pens but nothing on one single sheet. I guess I need to step back and have fun for a few days. No time to waste, there's other ways to make the top 100 in Forbes.

I've had some of days

Up early down late but its all worth it in the end. When you smile the World will smile with you. I've decided that the Ryan L Matters series may last a total of three books or at least two. I really want to work on an assassin romance that ends deadly after a few years of him not knowing. Nah, maybe a different path but its still in the works.

Let's get it!

30 minutes of meditation, 30 minutes of feeding my mind, and 60 minutes of working out.

Dalai Lama

It is important to consider others at least as important as ourselves. This is the essence of spirituality.

Oooweee

I nailed it! Got my papers done for school then punched out a total of 50 pages. I know better so I do better!

Moving forward

I want to have more sex within each chapter but also more gruesome murders. I have to make this work. I'm ready for the challenge.

Love this quote!

A leader is great, not because of his or her power, but because of his or her ability to empower others. ~ John C. Maxwell

I need to write

I write to rid my thoughts, I doodle to make sure I don't conform with the status quo of life, but I refuse to be normal, I refuse to settle, I refuse to allow my mind to become stagnant. I need to write!

Third book in the works

I'm putting my best foot forward. Researching and writing my third book. I figure if I can knock out two books by August, I'll be a step closer to my 77 book goal.

Ryan L Matters: My First Kill (Sneak, peak)

When I finally reached the table he reminded me of the monster I use to have in my dreams. His eyes were closed shut and swollen, his jaw visibly broken and he had cuts on his face. I went to take the sheet off of him to see the rest and Matt yelled out,
‘Don’t do it, you will never get that out of your mind.’
Again, ignoring him I pulled the sheet back and was able to see that his nipples were cut off, there were several bite marks, his stomach was wide open to a point I could see his organs, well what was left. He must have been stabbed over two dozen times and damn near gutted like a fish. I took a step back and slipped on something but Matt caught me before I hit the floor. I looked up at him with a smile,
‘Thanks buddy that would have been a wild ride!’

Book 2: Ryan L Matters: The Unknown

Going for a little twist. Does Ryan's best friend and right hand man have his eyes set on killing Ryan's son? Or is it the other way around? Will TJ cause Matt to bleed out while his father continues to look for Hugo, the leader of the gang MF34 that put a bounty out on them in the mid-night hours?

Book cover offer

Heart pounding, eye catching, breath taking, sitting on the edge of your seat... I NEED MORE!!! Yes, this book is that good.

Please send request to dobensonauthor (at) gmail (dot) com. I apologize I have to spell out my email address but it helps with spam mail.

Book cover for book one: Ryan L Matters: My First Kill

The greatest thing about this cover is that there are so many different artists out there that I just don't who to choose from. I want something that pops, catches the eye, forces you to look, look again, and want to look some more. I'm looking for, "the wow factor".

Ryan Matters

Book one: Ryan L Matters: My First Kill is complete and ready for a second edit. I'm too excited about my first book, but I want it to be just as special to my readers, since this is my start off point.

Growing up in a small town and his mother leaving him with his abusive drunken father. What good can really come from this situation? Ryan turns out to be somewhat of the opposite of his old man. Full scholarship to play football and well loved but his community until something brings death to his doorstep.

Should he fight or flee?

I found a great site thanks to H.P. Mallory editingfairy.com.

My First Entry

Hello World, I found out today while reading a book by H.P. Mallory Quit Your Day Job that having a blog will help people be more connected with me as a writer. There's a lot I still have to do but I'm excited to get started.
