The idea might be to generate buzz with one book, and then have something to take to a publisher and say "see, this one got lots of attention, and I have plenty more".

I might take you up on it one of these days, but right now, working on my fiction is way in the background of things I need to be doing. Hey Althea, thanks for the offer.

You sound like you're having a common problem in writing when it comes to finishing your book. I'll have to find the essay on it, but I read a great piece once that was basically called "overcoming the hump." The idea was that it's easy to write until about 100 pages in when you start to lose your focus and become overwhelmed in the task of trying to tackle such a long piece of writing. Regardless, you're off to a great start by working in writing groups! The Acts of Desperation online is a wonderful idea as it ensures that you will have a writing group, even if you can't find other writers to collaborate with. The only thing that I'd be worried about is that it doesn't violate any publishing deal with whatever publisher he's hoping to run the book through. <abbr><em>Boyz II Men´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.rnbhaven.com/90s-music/feature/Keith-Mitchell-Interview-Part-1/13">Keith Mitchell: After 7's Untold Story</a></abbr></em> Hey Mitch,

I have one degree of separation to Ann Rule, being as she and I have a mutual friend who is the retired Chief of Police in Garden Grove (where Rule sourced much information on another case... the book that became: Never Let Me Go).

Ann Rule is not just an author - she is a mega-author, who works alongside police to gather forensic information and adds her effort to investigations.

Mitch, all my life I have been a writer and all my life I have read only non-fiction.

My favorite writer is Ann Rule – foremost true crime writer in the US with MANY best sellers under her belt. (Rule worked as a crisis councellor in the cubicle next to Jeffrey Dahmer – THAT must have been scary!!! – and wrote his story called The Stranger Beside Me).

I like it. It's just not for me; nothing like having a good book to hold on to. The podcast idea is one I would consider. Interesting concept! I like it.
