Grendel’s Mother was ten years in the making, so I’m thrilled to be announcing that this book will be coming out soon!!! Look for an announcement in late March or April.

The entire website is under construction, so bear with me while I install information, primarily in the Portfolio and Services areas. So ignore the duplication in some areas. Hopefully, you will be curious enough to come back to see the new construction.
The purpose of this site is to connect all of my projects under one umbrella: my portfolio of books, scripts, and classes and classes that I’ll be offering; my three other blogs; services I’m offering as an editor, writing coach, consultant, speaker, and more, both paid and volunteer; and of course, all my social media.
Additionally, I intend to invite other writers, producers, screenwriters, writing programmers, editors, agents, teachers of writing, book cover artists, and other professionals to make presentations through this new What’s New blog. Ideally, not only will they provide valuable information to you, as a writer of fiction, nonfiction, screen, stage, and print, but provide you discount or special opportunities to their classes, books, or services.
And, it is my plan to promote the work of my clients and various associates as their work becomes published, produced, and implemented.
If you’re interested in joining me in this venture, appearing as a guest, let me know, via e-mail. Just click the e-mail envelop button at the top of any page.
I can’t close without giving a HUGE (!!!!!) shout out to Creative Web Designing Inc, and it’s wonderful owner, Lee Younkman, who happens to be my nephew and website designer extraordinaire. I couldn’t have done this without him, and I just may have shown him a few website tricks, too. With his expertise and mine, we make for a fine collaboration.
I’m excited about this new venture and hope you will be, too.
So what do you think? I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

The image, which was my view from my hotel window while at a conference in Traverse City looking out at the Bay, truly represents my looking at the world through another window.
The new year of 2016 began with the genesis of Sharpened Pencils Productions. leading to the creation of this website and the logo, shown here.
