When we make mistakes!

Mistakes, that is one rule in life that has never been broken, we all make them! The average person that makes a mistake usually goes unnoticed unless it is a hideous crime they do. But celebrities, politicians, other well known people and author's mistakes are prominent in the public eye. Most are overlooked except by politicians, anything they say or do will be held against them.
Sometimes we have days when what we say, is not what we meant. The words just come out wrong! That happens to me sometimes when writing. I will be typing away on the keyboard getting down a scene or action part trying to write it like I see it in my head. Then when I'm finished and go back later, I have to ask myself What did I mean or what was I saying? It didn't make a lick of sense to me! Then I have to try to recall what I was thinking at the time to make sense of it and change it to make sense, not the way I wrote it! The longer I wait to go back, the harder it is to recall or understand what I was trying to say.
Once I have finished the book, my wife and I will sit down at the computer and she will read it catching other parts where I wasn't clear or it was confusing to her. Looking over her shoulder while she is reading it, I spot other places that are wrong or unclear. It is nice to be able to read the book like a reader would and understand where things have gone wrong in a plot or conversation. Where I go off track and made something excessively wordy or wrong, having something occur at the wrong spot or something. I still hear comments that I am not following all the rules of proper grammar and my answer is simple. That is my writing style and I write my books for an eighth grade reading level. When I first was writing on the computer, I had a program called WriteRight and it recommended and kept my writing at this grade level. I have kept this level even though the program is not on this computer or the one I had before, I liked that standard. So, if you read my books, don't expect a lot of fancy words or long words along with proper grammar all the time. I stick to the basic rules of grammar but not if it interferes with my writing style!

Skull injury!

My friend, Albert Vance fell off his roof onto the concrete below suffering a head injury. At first he was questionable whether he would live but he is hanging in there. His wife, Linda is on oxygen and I'm sure he was taking good care of her, now she has to hope he lives. Out prayers go out to Albert and Linda especially Albert, that he is able to recover. Send your prayers for Albert regardless of who you call God, Allah or whatever that he recovers from this, Linda and the world needs him!
A few weeks ago, another of our friends, Sammi and I knew and respected died suddenly. Carolyn Dixon suffered a massive stroke on a Friday and Sunday night she was gone. Her daughter Stacy has yet to recover from the loss of her mother so sudden like. Carolyn just had a hip replacement a couple of years ago so she could live a normal life, Carolyn was sixty-five.
The suddenness of change does come suddenly in life. One minute Albert was just like you and I, now he is struggling just to live and begin the long road to recovery. I am reminded of how sudden events can change the course of your life. I was eleven when my father died of a heart attack and sometimes wonder what my life would have been like if he had lived? He was only in his thirties when he died.
It seems once we pass fifty, things seemed to happen more suddenly. My first wife Dolores died soon after turning fifty of a massive heart attack. She was the mother of four of my children. My second wife, Alicia (Lisa) died a couple of years after she turned fifty of pancreatic cancer. She was the mother of another of my children. My sister Mary Sue died of lung cancer. My mother died of diabetic complications when she was sixty-one. My wife Sammi's father died of a heart attack in his early sixties. 
As we walk through life thinking they will always be around like we see them everyday, then events happen that change that! Talk back to me, I'm listening!

Just saying!

It is difficult to carry on a conversation on twitter when you don't have room to say what you want to say, unless you do two or three tweets that are connected. Like I said before, this blog site is all about being connected and chatting with the new friends you meet on social media. I have a Facebook account, Twitter, Linkened, along with my blog sites but I still don't fell like I'm connecting to people. What am I doing wrong? It is not easy building connections because most people want to sell you something or think right away you are selling them something. I have learned the hard way, that doesn't work! For a fee, a lot of sites will promote you and your products but being on a limited income, I can't afford to spend a lot of money on these sites. I write because I enjoy it, not to become wealthy or anything just hoping to make a little extra so I can afford to travel since I retired. If no one reads or likes my books, so be it! Everyone has their own tastes just as I don't like all the living dead movies and books. A friend of mine is into reading a lot of werewolf and vampire books but they are just not my style. Now, I can take Aliens with a lot of weird abilities that are not human but not Vampires or living dead. Of course I also don't like spider movies, spiderman is okay with me for some reason. I know Hollywood is into the Living dead and making comic book heroes come alive, that is okay with me but I'm getting tired of all the remakes of old movies, even though they do put a twist on it and change it slightly. I like the way they re-did "Battlestat Galactica" but then it got boring after several seasons. Why can't Hollywood come up with some new movies instead of recycling, you wonder? The answer is simple, they already own the rights to these movies and don't have to spend any money to redo them! Another reason is it has been years since the original came out and it was a hit back then with newer generations growing up, they think it is an original and sometimes becomes a hit all over again. You see it all the time in music, they changed the tune and do it a little different for today's crowds and everyone thinks it is something new!
 I love history and the history channel, right now when time permits I am reading "History of World War Two", I read a lot before but now I seem to not have much time. I love science fiction, that is what I read mostly when not reading history stories.
Enough chat for now, Talk back to me, I'm listening! at http://twitter.com/Agmoye or at my email agmoye.moye406@gamil.com or just leave a comment or your link and I will chat with you!

Ho Hum!

The title says it all, I've picked myself up by my boot straps (If I wore boots) and going on with life. Life sure has a way of throwing you curves but through it all, you find a way to get back into the game. That is what millions of people have to do each day. At least I'm one of the lucky ones that don't have a real bad disease just diabetes to contend with. How about you?
Now to what motivates me each day besides my wife, my books! I wrote six chapters of my sequel to the Chronicles of the Marauder, book one but have stepped back, I don't like the way the story is going because it would force me to end the book with only two books instead of the planned three books. I will rewrite chapters five and six to accomplish this. We will see how it goes.
I know I have been talking a lot about my book Chronicles of the Marauder" I guess it is because I'm so excited about it and believe that the readers will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Today, What I really what to speak to you about is my mystery book. Originally written some thirty years ago but updated it to be published. My wife has read mystery books all her life and was shocked she couldn't figure out who did it until the very end when I revealed it! I know I haven't been placing much emphasis on it being my only mystery book, but that a look at it and see if you can figure out who the killer (s) are without having to read the last chapter! I challenge you!

here are the links to the book on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482069747 or http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1482069741 also available on Barnes and Noble but I don't have the link available right now. If interested in my other books go to http://www.amazon.com/author/agmoye or to http://goodreads.com/agmoye Talk back to me, I'm listening!

A Mistake!

Everyone makes mistakes or errors in judgement, right? I just made on in my elation of my last book being published, Chronicles of the Marauder that I was posting on every available site and I must have posted it on Linkedin on one of the wrong sites. That is a huge no-no! No self publishing allowed on Linkedin! I have been placed on probation for this infraction. Normally I make sure that I post only on sites that allow self promotion, I guess I got carried away and now have to suffer the consequences. Besides being on probation for who knows how long, the next time I'm removed as a member on Linkedin. Not just on the forum I goofed on! I am a member of several groups and some do allow self promotion, but this is my mistake. I've made several in my life and it won't be the first one!
Now back to my blogs about my new science fiction called "Chronicles of the Marauder" of all my books it has received the best response being published for less than thirty days. All you science fiction fans take a look at it and see if you don't agree it is the best science fiction written by me. Here is the link so you can see for yourself what everyone is talking about and the book that got me into trouble!
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BM5L606 it is available in paperback as well as ebook. For those overseas, http://www.amazon.co.uk/1482662027

Sunday Blahs!

It is Sunday and I have spent most of the weekend writing the sequel to "Chronicles of the Marauder" called Book II. I have written three Chapters already (Unedited) but I need to get up from this computer and start moving around before I develop more health issues than I already have, so I have decided to cut down my time sitting here and do something. I just wish it was warmer outside so I could do more out there. I still have my hallway reflooring project to finish. Emptying out the hayloft to convert it into a spare bedroom for guests. But all I seem to want to do is sit here and write. I'm  caught up with my characters in Chronicles of the Marauder" Neil the human Captain and Sockan, the pale white ghost like Alien that learns what love is and falls in love with Neil! Poopa, the Zeelar that saved his life after almost being killed has a great sense of humor and the rest of the crew love her. Even if she can stretch her neck out ten to twelve feet from her body and stands nine foot tall.

The Marauder humans teach the defenseless Yokas how to fight and repel the Whoa`nas from their home world where they were rounding them up for food taking them back to their home worlds to eat. Book II is getting so intense that I just can't stop writing the story! For those that haven't heard of the Chronicles of the Marauder, I will post a link and picture to update them. For the kindle ebook connect to http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BM5L606 and for those that prefer paperback. I don't believe it is on Amazon yet in paperback but I will check it so the first link I know is there! http://www.createspace.com/dp/4190580 if the amazon link is up and running it will be http://www.amazon.com/dp/1482662023 and world wide at http://www.amazon.co.uk/1482662027

Hooray or Boo?

The announcement of my newly Published Chronicles of the Marauder, Book one was greeted with skepticism by the non science fiction fans but with great fanfare by those SiFi fans when it was published. I just hope there are more Sifi fans out there than not. Anyway, time to introduce some of the other Aliens in my book.
Solay the Wispee, that looks like a giant bee without the wings and antennae. He is an engineer in the past and joins the Marauder when the choice is the airlock or becoming a member of the crew after being shanghaied, when Neil took the ship while still connected to the space station and fled.
Elan, the Soorita that thinks humans are ugly, even though he looks human except for his over hanging upper lip and no hair anywhere on his head or body. He is also a cannibal by choice; forced to become a crew member on the bridge.
I've already mentioned the Zeelar Doctor, Poopa who is nine feet tall, looking like to Neil a walking stick insect from Earth. Only with a huge Praying Mantis looking head that can stretch her neck up to twenty feet away, along with fourteen appendages.
Kona, the horse looking creature that walks on four paws not hooves, with another set of appendages that he uses like hands. Having no tail and no mane they originally called his species Hosspaws until they learned otherwise. Being both a doctor and Scientist, he along with Poopa became invaluable members of the crew.

Sochan, the pale zombie looking creature that can read minds with just a touch or make herself invisible when she wills it. She becomes a member of the bridge officers when she learns what love is and to care for others.  You can read and enjoy the story at these links: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BM5L606 or for the paperback http://www.createspace.com/dp/4190580 and in a few days the paperback will be on Amazon as well worldwide. I will let you know! Talk back to me, I'm listening! for my other books go to http://www.amazon.com/author/agmoye
