Future Published Authors:: So you want to write a book
Getting Started - How to Plan Your Writing
by Jennifer Stewart
If you're reading this, it's because you're interested in writing and because you'd probably like to try writing something a bit more ambitious than a shopping list or memo!

Snake Walkers
by J. Everett Prewitt (Author)
ISBN-10: 0976192705
ISBN-13: 978-0976192701
Book Description
Traumatized as a child after witnessing a hanging, Anthony Andrews, the first black reporter at the Arkansas Sun, seeks to solve the mysterious abandonment of a small town and the disappearance of fourteen white men.
This book deals with confrontation, but it also deals with growth and transformation. We are all products of our environment and based on the sum total of our experiences, we approach situations differently. As those experiences change, our approaches are subject to change. We look at circumstances in a new light, and hopefully, we grow.
Snake Walkers is a story about a young black man who was traumatized in his youth, and is later faced with a series of situations that at one point become life threatening. Although he isn't prepared for them, with the help of those he meets along the way, he adapts and becomes a different person in the end.
Small Press Review, July-August 2005, Kaye Bache-Snyder
(Prewitt) develops complex characters and a fascinating mystery with historical roots. It is an engaging novel with insights to ponder.
Brotherly Love and Betrayal
by Daphine Glenn Robinson
Book Description
When a woman is fed up, she may not think clearly; even if she is saved. For months, Crystal Moore's husband Donnie has worked more hours than he's ever worked. Distant doesn't even describe what's going on, and intimacy has gone out of the window! She hasn't a clue as to what is going on with him, even though she's tried talking to him repeatedly to no avail. The more she prods him, the more he shuts her down, literally.
Unhappily married Stephen, Donnie's older brother, makes it his goal to keep Crystal smiling, and she could talk to him for hours about nothing. Unwilling to give up, she's sure that God has a plan to fix her ten-year marriage, but will she allow Him or take matters into her own hands despite her beliefs? Brotherly Love & Betrayal is the story of a woman, two brothers, and two secrets.
