Welcome To My Writing World

Welcome to my Writings Web Site. Thanks so much for visiting. The main purpose of this site is to give my writings and audience. It’s also a way for me to get feedback, build a fan base and to network. Somewhere on this site you will find all of my writing pieces that I think are worthy of sharing. Plus, there’s a lot of other fun stuff.


So, come on. Let me take you for a tour. Just follow me:

• The first link above my photo is called Softball Recaps. After every game I write a recap describing what happened that game. I include highlights, statistics a very popular section called “Comic Relief”. We have quite a cast of characters on our team. Each week reads like a new episode of a sitcom. The entire 2006, 2007 & 2008 seasons are there. There is also an introduction page for each. The 2009 season starts on May 6th. So the recaps will start the following week. Please read them all from the beginning. I assure you they are all quite comical and very entertaining.

• The second link is called Bowling Newsletters. This was inspired by the Softball Recaps. After including my bowling team on the softball mailing list, they requested I do something similar for bowling. How could I refuse? I was only able to do this for the 2007-2008 season. I just did not have time to do it this season. But read the ones from last year anyway because they are all incredibly funny. Read the introduction first, so you can get to know the team.

• The second link to the left of my photo, just below the HOME link, is called Fiction. Here you will find all of my fiction short stories. Above each story is a caption and status report.

• The third link to the left of the photo is Non-fiction. Here you will find all of m non-fiction pieces. An introduction is included above each story as well.

• The fourth link is a list of various writing services that I offer. If you’re looking for help with any kind of writing including editing, click on the link.

• The fifth link is my contact information. If you want to email me directly, here is how to find me.

• The six link is to my blog. You can go there and leave a message or comment. 


• To seventh link is to softball photos. This proves our team really does exist! 


• The eight link called Friends, is to other web sites. If you want me to add you, all you have to do is ask.   

• The section at the upper right hand panel called Writings Progress, is where I give news and updates on the books I am working on.


• Just below that is a section called HOT NEWS. This is where the newest updates are located. e BLOG is the information link to my softball and bowling teams.

• Under HOT NEWS you will find updates to my Softball and Bowling seasons.


• Finally, the last section is called networking. This is a list of all the different places you can find me besides here. Well, that’s the end of the tour. I hope you enjoy the site. Have Fun! Don’t forget to write a blog or drop me a note!

All my best always!

Writings in Progress

Fiction Novel

I am currently working on a Italian American / Mafia fiction novel based off of my fiction short story called Lucky Says Hello (see my Fiction link). For now, the title of the book is called, “Big Pete”. The main character is inspired by my late grandfather. The premise of the story centers on his relationship with the mafia back in the 1930's. The heart of the novel continually focuses on how old-school Sicilians and gangsters acted and behaved back then. Every meeting, every discussion, every move every facial expression and every word is a test. Pete catches on to this quickly through the help of an old friend and mentor. He continually finds the advantage in situations and gains favor with the mob. However, his relationship and association with these men must remain secret or his life could fall apart. On top of that, he faces a crossroads and must make a very difficult decision, one that could turn him into something he never wanted to be, a real gangster. 

NOVEL PROGRESS UPDATE: The past two months have yielded four more chapters bringing me to sixteen! This makes the novel officially more than halfway done! I am now going to take a break for a few weeks to write other stuff. This is all part of the process for me, as I write in spirts. This methodical approach allows me to tweak the story and add more subplots, which I think makes the book better and better. When I come back, the plan will be to have twenty chapters done by the spring. From there I will be headed down the home stretch of the last ten chapters. The ultimate goal is to have it finished by either late summer or early fall. Much love to all of those who inspire and push me! I cannot tell you how much that means to me! THANK YOU!  

Non-fiction Book

A while back I came up with the idea to turn my softball recaps into a book called Softball Diaries. The recaps would include real emails and conversations between myself and the team, most of which are hysterical. Unfortunately, this will have to be put on the shelf for now. I thought I could work on this in between my other writings, but I just can't. Hopefully, once my novel is finished I will dive into this. The one good thing is each season brings more and more material. So, stay tuned. I also have several other ideas for non-fiction books. If you are curious about what they are, just ask.

HOT NEWS


» My web site design team is in the process of completely revamping this web site. The hope is to make it even easier to navigate and update. The address and content will stay the same. It will just look different. I am very excited about this. I hope you all like it.
> I am now in the process of writng a new paranormal article. It is about how a near death experience can open up the door allowing that person to become senstive to the other side. In other words, being pushed to the brink of death can open up a portal allowing the person to see, hear, feel and communicate with spirits and ghosts. The article will include expert commentary and quotes from three psychic mediums: Tiffany Johsnon, Serenity Moore and Ronnie Allgood. It will also include the story of a friend who I met a while back who claims to now be a sensitive due to a near death experience she suffered as a child. I am very excited about this piece. I am going to try and sell it to a paranormal magazine. If that doesn't work I will just sumbit it to my web site publisher. Either way, it will be out there soon!
> My recent three part series on women's pro bowling featuring Diandra Asbaty, Jodi Woessner and Lynda Barnes is still garnering reads. Over 2,300 people have now read these articles. I am very proud of this. You can find these articles at www.sportales.com
> The article I wrote on the ghost hunt I went on back in March, is still getting a lot of reads. Almost 2,500 people have now read this piece! If you have not checked it out go to my Published Articles section and give it a read. The story and all the evidence are awesome!
» I am really struggling trying to get my short story called Lucky Says Hello published. I am still on my fifth try through American Short Story, and have not heard a word in three months. If I do not hear anything soon, I will resubmit it to another magazine. I am probably going to submit my other fiction story called One Woman, One Island, One Choice there as well. This will be the fourth try.    

Softball & Bowling News


» The 2009-2010 bowling season is already halfway done! After a slow start we are now in first place! As for me, after bowling my first ever 300 game back in September, I have really struggled. The problem is, I am caught in between my old style and the new pro style my coach Diandra Asbaty is teaching me. At this point I am in too deep and need to stick with it. I met with her in November and December, so I am really hoping something clicks soon! My average is down about 6 pins from last year and I want to at least get back to that.
> My softball team will be coming back for season 8, so stay tuned. We will be playing in the Lombard league again. If you want to read about the team, just click on this link. Softball Recaps  
> One of these days I will learn how to create video clips and uplaod them to the web site so you can see some bowling and softball action. I have the software, it's just a matter of learning to do it.
