Profile Information:

Something About Me and My Book:
I am the author of 15 published novels and 2 non-fiction books. One of them, A Christmas Dream (my favorite) has just been converted into a 3-act script by my good friend Billie A. Williams. It is designed for small theater groups, like community theaters, highschool/college drama clubs, etc. I love to write in different genres. I guess you could say that my books match my house--they are "eclectic." My latest book is Bank Roll: A Max Stryker Mystery. I have had an Amazon bestseller, won two RIO Awards of Excellence, and had one named "Best time travel of the year" by Affaire de Coeur Magazine. I'm living my dream! You can see all of my books at http://janetesmithstarbooks.tripod.com . Oh, and in my spare time, I'm the Marketing Director for Star Publish LLC

    Hi Janet,
    I'm slow but sure. Hope to get my page from out of storage and put some stuff on it. And...leave some comments. I'm finding less and less time for writing which is NOT a good thing. But...only I can control that.

    Love your novel, Old Habits Die Hard. Also, A Christmas Dream. I think you'll love my story, The Kahills of Willow Walk also.

    See ya later,
    Smiles

    Hi Janet,
    I hope it does makes us smarter. Worth a try. I can't keep up with so many people though. And thanks for the comment on my tartan. It was a fun day.

    Thank you for including me on your list, and for your comments.

    The Book Business! I could write pages on it!

    Hello Janet,

    I've not been an agent very long--only about six months. For the last five years I've been a book acquisitions editor with two different publishers. I have only signed a few clients-and have many people knocking on my door to be clients. It's a challenge to find the right ones but I continue to actively look.

    Great to meet you and I look forward to learning more.

    Where were you an acquisitions editor, or is it a deep dark secret?

    Janet:

    What a varied radio show you have, and a huge audience! Wow!

    I am finally getting my butt in gear with my writing. Still not sure which projects I want to focus on. And what seems to be coming out of me most easily after years of not writing is poetry. I will be reading my poetry July 12 locally and I am very excited about doing this.

    What kind of guests are you specifically looking for?

    I'm looking forward to it.

    Janet,

    Thank you for the links. Very useful. I feel my books will serve the counseling departments in schools. Would you happen to have any advice regarding school submissions for reveiw? Thanks again.
