Launching your latest!

Alright so i've put in the hours and created a new book. I slogged through the process of editing, design and all the rest to finally get the book to print. Its work right, not really excited yet because i havn't had a chance to think about it, i mean really think about it! So the book goes to print and today it suddenly dawns on me as i'm going to meet with the entertainment company who is hosting this event, that i've got a new book just about ready to come out. But still its just a…

Conner Carson

Ok, so I get a ton of book ideas.. a lot. And I can't stand not getting at least a start of it on paper. lol Anyway I'm thinking of a book, teen sleuth, he's got an interest in ghosts. The book starts when he's fifteen. Conner Carson has messy blond hair (with the occasional light brown streaks), blue eyes, even shoulders. I'll give you what I have so far, it's not a lot but it may give you the taste of his personality, the works. Give me honest comments of what you think please. =] …

The Threads That Bind Us

The silver needle finally acquiesced to the probing black thread.

Do all parents go through this, I ask myself.

The object of today’s battleground lies crumpled upon my lap;

A day old winter jacket already looking shabby,

Scarred through carelessness. Squinting at black fabric,

I concentrate on repairing the gaping, saw toothed pocket.



What had been a pleasant enough day was now marred

By the blazing argument between mother and…

When is the Right Time to Hire a Book Editor?

I don't know when, on the writing curve, Stephen King or Nelson DeMille might seek editorial advice, only that it is documented that they do. So it begs the question, for the writer trying to break into the business with a major royalty publisher--and who accepts that a professional editor looking at the manuscript might not be a bad idea--when is the right time to hire a book editor.



Generally there are Two Issues



For most people it's a matter of time and… Continue

Life is a ribbon. Lets say you have the most extravegant present ever. With bows and flowers, and ribbons. But then your ribbon got snagged on the table. And you pulled and pulled and it wouldn't come off. But soon enough your pretty ribbon is unraveled now really only string. Life can be extravegant and pretty, but it can also be dangerous and mean. But if you find a way to get the ribbon off the table before its gone, you may just be able to have a great life. Not totally…

For whoever calls my name

I think of the pain

And when my heart skips a beat

I think of how I used to weep

Now I am strong

And I dont belong

In that shallow place

Becaus I have faith

We are all one regardless of who we are and what we do.

Another from "A collection of my thoughts"

I thought I sensed something near,


As I walked through the thickness of the forest.


As if my eyes were walking behind me,


Following each step I took.


I suppose I was just reflecting back


On some old Hitchcock films.


The sun filtering through the giant pines


Must surely be that stairway to…

another selection from "a collection of my thoughts"

The wind is blowing strongly tonight, as I stand on the beach, and remember
The gulls fly overhead watching, waiting anticipating there attack.
The ocean is the color of dust, ugly and un-tamed
The thoughts that take over ones mind are frightning.


I see two battle ships engaged in combat each taking heavy damage.
Many lives are lost. And I remember...
Flames split the night into day. Guns roar out thier battle…

Powerful

For as if I am invincable and almost invisible I am able to see perfectly although knowone can see me

For I've always wished that I could have these powers

And now I am standing on towers'

Before me you are, but I am lost

In a secret trapped in a jar

Through Her Eyes;

I have learned to view the world in a whole different way.



Through her eyes I have learned to see the beauty in all things that aren't very appealing to the eye. I have learned to hold back on my judgments and just watch to see how things play out before automatically cutting things off before even allowing it to start.



Through her eyes I am taken back to a time where I felt with great passion and hope, believing that all things can and will work out for the better in the… Continue

Angel Poop Poem

Hey guys, whats up, take a look at my new poem


Angel Poop
Written by Kenny Thurman
Angel poop flies through the air
From over here to over there
I see it scattered in your hair
When I found out it was a bear
Sing’n at the fair
I screamed and let out a blare
When I looked at it and said, “It was just plain rare
For a bear.”
I glared and I…

My new Poetry called Valentines Day

Valentines Day
Written by Kenny Thurman
I walk upon the silver plain,
As I wish it was made of grain,
I looked outside and watched the rain,
And I saw the color of my vein,
It is red I see from down the lane,…

one collection of "my thoughts"

He looked wise, and weather beaten
tired and lonley
he didnt belong on this busy street, with its crowds of people and screaming cars
i would bet he sailed the high seas at one time
a master of a sailing ship, who knew the waters of the world, and taste of salt on his cracked lips
a man who knew fear, but always conquered it
plain are the scars of age upon his brow
and the anger of being old
i wonder if he is…

The Power of Dreams

Here's yet another example of how my fidgeting in my sleep leads to manuscript activity. I penned/keyboarded this last night after a very vivid dream about my days in San Francisco. The obvious writer's mind was twisting these memories around and formulating a story. And here it is. . .as yet formally untitled.

They say romance is dead.
