Where I Am and Where I Want To Go?

Hello My Readers,

Well today I was sitting thinking about something that has been coming up for a while. I have been feeling very restless since I returned from One Pro Wrestling's Show. I was reminded when I was at the show that I don't always like to sit in a Writing Cave, that I love to be out and be doing things with people. I have always loved Entertainment, dancing and doing my thing. So I was doing more out there projects recently for a few very secret things trying to work out whether or not I was going to take a break from Writing.

Go out and experience something else. Just for awhile, this doesn't mean I'd stop writing, far from it. This would mean I wouldn't be writing as much as I have been. It would mean that books would take longer to appear. I have a good few books in the Publishers hands right now so for me to take a break then this would be a good time to do it.

Now you see the thing about writing books is that you need to do things that you want to write about so that you can understand it better and can write about it better, in order for it to be more real to the readers. That is what all of us as Author's try to do. We try to make sure that we give you all the best products that we can. When we are writing books, we are thinking about what our readers want out of each and every single book.

No this doesn't mean I'm off to do some Wrestling adventure. Far from it. I will never wrestle since my body wouldn't take the punishment that they put themselves through on a day to day bases. Glad to clean that up right here and now. Despite the rumours circling around the Internet right now. Yes, these rumours do get back to me eventually.

I want to do more with my career. I would like to go back to somethings that I was interested in when I was younger. Now this doesn't mean I'm returning to Street Hip Hop.

I can't return to the Streets, after my dear friend and last old crew member died then I decided that it was time to leave. It took me two years after that to walk away and trust me I'm staying clear. There is no place left for me in the Streets, I'm too far behind now in there moves, there way of doing things and old school isn't something that is really accepted anymore. (Sucks to be classed as an old school dancer). I'm not missing the Streets, all that much anymore. I just miss the dancing part and that is what I'm now doing as part of my fitness training. So thank you for the thoughts.

I know alot of you saw that I said in 'Burning From Within: Inside Kristal McKerrington' that I had been thinking of leaving the Writing World and that was true. I was thinking of quitting, but someone reminded me that if your good at what you do then don't stop no matter how much bad stuff you get hit with. Now I can all ready hear the keys all ready starting to hammer. Its not that I don't know that I have supporters, readers out there, but the thing is that a Writers life is endless.

We write one book, sometimes two at a time and in the back of our minds we are making notes for the next two or three. Its apart of our jobs. I have a list of 54 books waiting for my attention around the computer screen right now and I  have properly another 54 books noted down in my notebooks.

In conclusion to this blog, I want to thank the fans, readers, friends and family for all the support that they have given me. I haven't left writing nor will I be. I'm just saying that for the next couple of months I'm taking some time away from the books projects to do some other things. I'm going to spend some more time with my family and maybe do some other projects I've been neglecting. Thank you again though. Thank you for the support on the fan page, the new books and the chats. I love you all. I will be continuing to run the show and do my blogs so I'm not disappearing, just scaling back on the amount of books I'm releasing. Much love to you all again.

Freedom Is Earned

Blurb

What would you do if you saw two Street Hip Hop crews face off?

Would you recover from a shooting, then go on to lead your dance group to victory; not only to save your training ground, but to find out who tried to kill you?

In a love triangle of lies, who would you turn to?

What would your life be like after a showdown like that?

A confrontation that could tell you who tried to kill you, and disband the very people who were behind the attack: would it be worth the risk of you losing a crew that you had built up yourself with your own bare hands?

Welcome to Ambers life in 'Freedom Is Earned' where its all about the Streets and what you have to do to survive?

Can you heart take the heat?

Excerpts for both 'The Highlander With The Ink' and 'Freedom Is Earned' is coming soon... stay tuned for them..

Roots and Homeland

Hello Readers,

Todays a new day and I have been really working on something that makes you feel the Homeland that you love. This story am working on is properly the best thing I have ever written so far and it makes me think about where am from.  'Where are you from and what makes you feel connected to it?'

Where I am from they are starting to cut the Peet and they are talking about Up Hellya Aa all ready.  The women are picking out their winter formal dresses for parties and the things that are always on their calendar. The rest of us are getting the freezers ready for the winter months, getting ready for the last holiday's for the year. Those who have kids are teaching them about our traditions and still trying to get them to bed even though its still bright at Eleven a clock at night.

The Farmers are getting ready for the Harvest and those who are work with the Church are getting ready for what we do during the winter months.  Helping the Paster make sure the buildings are all prepared for the harsh winter months.  Everything starts to get ready for the bad winters we have now.  The Peet which, was harvest last year will be dry now and need moving to those houses that need it.  This is also the time that the community helps the old folk to get ready for the bad winter.  Helping with them stock their freezers and make sure that the meat is frozen.


By now the Fishing seasons are drawing to a close and the fish is being prepared for the winter.  Either salted or smoked by each of the houses or is being smoked at the Smoke House.  People are stocking up on their wines, Brandy's and Whiskeys.  Musicans are practing for some more winter meets and some performances. Even the Kids are checking their instraments and learning the tunes.


When all this is done we are normally ready and yet every year there is always someone who needs help and winter is a time that the community bands together.  People start dating alot and this is our most popular time of year for marriage perposals. New Brides have stacked their shelves with wedding magazines and have all the local contacts.  We really know winter is here when there is two woman fighting over the latest issue of Brides weekly.

I love the old songs that we learned at School when this time of year was kicking off. You know we had to order our Halloween customes months in advance and now they can just go to the shop.  It seems that in my nineteen years of knowing my roots and my homeland I have seen alot of changes.  The slow fall of the Fishing Idustry the anger of the people of the Islands at the scams that has targetted us as well as the problems with the Oil.

Yet this place is still one of the most peaceful places I have ever been too. The people would do alot for you if you ever needed it and there is always someone looking for a yarn. The seas are always full of life and even though there isn't a tree in sight half the time the farm land always had animals wondering around making some sort of noise an hassle.

The lands free there, plently of birds and endless amounts of wind. I loved it for the riding, you always knew where you were going and how to get back.  The place was small enough that you could go anywhere you liked.  I miss the place sort of.

I miss some of the traditions, some of the foods and the ability to watch the sea.  I loved to watch it and feel free to sit at the beach watching.

Please tell me below about your homeland and what makes it specail or not special to you?

Your author.
