„Író leszek…” - Kezdetben ez a mondat nem tudatos. Egy álom fogan meg a szívben, majd elkezdi keresni az utat a megvalósulás felé.„Író leszel?” - Sokan sokféleképpen teszik fel a kérdést, amikor elkezded hangosan kimondani szíved vágyát.És mit kívánok én neked? „Legyél író!” - majd azonnal hozzá is teszem: „De nem mindegy, hogyan!”Bárki ?lehet író, jól írni azonban csak kevesen tudnak. Az ösztönös tehetség ritka, ráadásul kevés is. Szerteágazó szakmai ismeret kell könyvkészítésről, az író feladatairól, a kiadás folyamatáról. De ez még mindig csak elmélet, ami mit sem ér, ha nem használod, ha a tudás nem párosul valós munkával. Mert nem várhatsz a berepülő galambra.Mi kell még? Kapcsolati tőke, elköteleződés a cél mellett, kőkemény kitartás, és nem árt a stabil anyagi háttér sem.És még? Egyéni megoldások, amelyek épülhetnek részben átvehető, követhető mintákra, azonban az ismertség, elismertség minden író esetében másképp érhető el. Esetedben is.Ezzel a könyvvel igyekszem megmutatni, mi mindennel jár együtt a választásod. Segítek, hogy körültekintően dönthess, megtedd az első lépéseket, majd folytatni tudd az utad, egészen a célig.Hogyan valósíthatod ezt meg? Ahogy a nagy álmokat szokták. Lépésről lépésre. Álmodd, Akard, Tervezd, Tedd, Elemezd, Javítsd, Ismételd. A recept adott, bár nem egyszerű! De a segítségedre lesz, hogy egy nap az a bizonyos mondat így hangozzon el: „Író vagyok!”

The Choreo-novel, “Big Auntie’s Pearls” is my attempt to expand upon the form of dramatic expression known as “Choreopoem” which combines poetry, dance music and song with traditional African-American storytelling. My story’s implied plot uses theme elements with specific characters to hopefully create an emotional response from readers also its listeners. Nontraditional spelling and vernacular are written in the Concert format with each chapter called an Opus with three different movements as found in a Sonata or acts of an Opera or Ballet. The four Opuses are infused with Intermezzo and in Three-quarters time giving those of us with short attention spans maybe a twelve-hour read or an hour for one movement.  The Google interactive version contains links to music; fashion; food and culture with also fast cars of the times to enhance the readers experience and maybe even do a little shopping.  My story is Historical "Inspirational Fiction” using pseudonyms of persons and Venerable Institutions in a respectful fictitious manner to help Annamitta (Anna-me-ta) tell her story of her Big Auntie’s whispered “High Pearls of Burden.” I invite you on this journey to my native Southwest Georgia in the “Morning Star Suite” and a debut recital in the Southern hamlet of Boston before spanning through time with stops in Washington DC, Miami until Annamitta’s “New Day” at Savannah’s College by the Sea.     

Natasha remembers little from her Russian childhood, other than the lingering nightmares of her mother's tragic death. So when someone close to her hands her a one-way ticket to Russia, along with the deed to her family farm, and then is brutally murdered, she has little confidence about what awaits her in that distant land. With doubt and uncertainty, Natasha has no choice but to leave her life in America for an unknown future. Once overseas, the terrifying facts as to why she was really summoned home come to light. Fact one: Monsters do exist. Fact two: The only thing keeping those monsters out of the world is an ancient mural hidden below her family's farm. Fact three: The mural that keeps the evil out of the world is falling apart. The final fact: It's up to Natasha to restore it and save the world from a horror unlike anything seen before. Luckily, Natasha isn't alone in her mission. Three Russian Knights are tasked with protecting her from the demons as she restores the mural. And leading the Knights is the handsome and strong Anatoly, who seems to be everything Natasha could hope for in a man. Unfortunately, there is one huge problem. Her Knights are forbidden from having relationships with the artists they protect, and Anatoly is a hardcore rule follower. But rules cannot stop the way she feels. When a horrifying demon breaches the barrier and pulls Anatoly inside the mural, Natasha can't help but charge, once again, into the unknown-this time to save the man she secretly loves. Now on the demons' turf, she risks her own life to free the very one who is supposed to be protecting her. Little does she realize that if she should fail, it could mean the destruction of the very last barrier shielding mankind. Will Anatoly refuse Natasha's help? Or will he finally realize, when love is at stake, the rules will be broken?

Loss of the Resolute: A Dark FantasyThere are times in which nothing is certain, in which no man’s life or destiny can be taken for granted. There are lands where battles still scar the earth, and in which rival kingdoms never cease striving for dominance. In such times, and in such places, life is cheap, and death comes quickly. In such times and places, there are victors and victims… and nothing in between. In Loss of the Resolute, author Greg Alldredge takes us into a bold new heart of fantasy darkness, and leaves us shaken, thrilled, and eager for more. For fans of Game of Thrones, this prequel to an epic fantasy series is guaranteed to get the adrenaline pumping, and is sure to grip readers from the first fantastical page to the last.As city states wage war upon each other in an endless battle for supremacy and dominance, and as pirates and slavers comb the seas seeking their victims and carving out their territory, danger in The Fractured Lands is as much of a fact of life as breathing, eating, or sleeping. We’re introduced to Kanika, who is engaged in a spiralling struggle to keep one step ahead of death - something which lurks behind every jagged hillside, behind every drystone wall, and beneath the surface of every expanse of water - as she tries to find her path in an uncaring world, already soaked in the blood of each dark age. When a mysterious man enters her life, a thousand questions rise up from the depths: who is he? How will he affect her path? Can he be trusted? Does she need a man in her life? All of these questions - and many more besides - will answer themselves as we wander through the dark fantasy of The Fractured Lands, and as we’re dragged towards the thrilling conclusion of this stunning work of immersive fiction.

A story, older than time itself. On Earth, it starts in the 12th century BC during the expansionist wars of the Assyrian Empire. Love lost but immortality gained. The main character, Talmido is fighting for the freedom of choice and the liberty of free will. He has the ability to live forever, never get sick or old, and regenerate his tissue if damaged. He flees the Assyrian military apparatus and fights successive battles for freedom while accumulating masses of displaced, desperate, freedom-loving individuals like himself. All of this is happening to a backdrop of alien intelligence and interference. Factions formed to determine whether conscience or chaos coalescence should be the dominant factor, for sentient creation’s character. Vast galactic battles of will play out to the eventual definition of what it is to be alive. The eventual causality of the defining actions of antiquity echo to us as we struggle to maintain the freedoms fought over to either win or lose them on the battlefield, governmental office, or the pulpits of the twenty-first century.

It is now 1035 BCE. Talmido is 185 years old, looking no older than twenty-five. Is it a curse or a blessing? That is for Talmido to search for and that, he does with a strength of character that defies logic or reason. Si-tatious, Gelal-tiamat and Talmido's children have long ago settled into death. Talmido is alone and in want of answers. He heads off for the city of Ur and eventually the city of Lagash in search of a man's disappearance under a mysterious set of circumstances. Eventually, Talmido is joined by five hardy and intrepid souls willing to satisfy their curiosity and perhaps enrich their circumstances. The revelations to be opened up to them are shocking and terrifying. They are overwhelmed and confused with the underlying reality of life. New paradigms of thought and creation are presented to them with the dawning realization of humanity's fragile position within the hierarchy of life. Humanity is not alone in the Universe. Ke-zith-rist has lead his group of freedom loving Sirous-astro-tis to a safe haven of planets within a small solar system far out of the way from the Empire's prying eyes. They flourish and grow as they pursue their inherent need for knowledge and understanding of life and the cosmos around them. Unknown to them they are being watched by malevolent interlopers with a goal of annihilation on their minds. Fleeing through a wormhole with a wake of destruction pursuing them the rebels find their safe haven far away in another Galaxy to their relief and joy, however; it is not to last, as powers beyond their understanding have determined it is time for them to choose sides in an Inter-Galactic war of vast size and scope. It is the inner turmoil of reason and rationale that spurs Ke-zith-rist to ally with a surprising individual with close ties to those with deceit and evil intent in their hearts. Axhereim, a Nreimhin biological being, becomes more disillusioned with the Anunnaki and their elusive nature. They become more and more demanding in their request for loyalty on Axhereim's part even subjecting him to excruciating mind-warping procedures to imprint their requirements directly onto his mind. Instead, resentment and revulsion are the characteristics that emerge and dominate Axhereim's thoughts and motivation. It is a dangerous game of duplicity on behalf of Axhereim and his master Mardu-poe but one must be victorious for both cannot survive the coming calamity. The Anunnaki prepare for war. The Special Warfare Forces of the Primus and Authorial prepare for war. Men and women of Mars prepare for the coming conflict while Sirous-astro-tis and Nreimhin armies amass outside the solar system of Earth and Mars. It is to be a defining moment for Humanity, Sirous-astro-tis and Nreimhin alike as they search for their place in a seemingly chaotic and vicious Universe of ideals and desire.
