So I wrote a book about zombies
It hasn't been published yet (I hope I hope I hope) but I have already adapted it as an original ballet for my nonprofit ballet company. We're performing in La Canada Flintridge, which is very close to Los Angeles and Pasadena.
The show is called "Sweet Sorrow, A Zombie Ballet" and is on October 20 at 7PM and October 21 at 4PM (the latter is followed by Afterlife after party).

Sweet historical with twists Loved the characters and the fantasy aspect. Very surprised by the ending but it felt appropriate for the genre. Would make a great movie. |

First of all, gorgeous cover. Yum! Second of all, and more seriously, from the first page, I felt as if I had fallen into Daya's world: her school, her friends, her mom, and her crush. A realistic yet gentle romance, an all-too-true church group that ...more |

| Mysteries written in the first person naturally leave out a lot of information and in many ways, that's what can make or break a thriller like this. How much does the narrator tell the reader? How much do they hold back? No one likes a book that ends ...more | |

| The concept of being able to travel back in time with the help of a little candy is fascinating and fun. The way Kady got it (on a Halloween night at a carnival at a booth apart from the main festivities) gave me a bit of "Something Wicked This Way C ...more | |

Hi, C! Ha, just realized that's a juice brand. We like a lot of the same books/writers. I'm a new author letting people know about my poetry website, www.theskyinsideyou.com, feel free to stop by sometime and happy new year.
Cheers, Ed! Your Wiki page is pretty impressive! Good luck with your writing~
Thanks for accepting my friend request, C. You seem like an interesting person, as well as an accomplished author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself and perhaps we can grow to become even greater friends. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled "Forbidden Steps".Regards, and have a great day, Ed

I started her memoir - loved the first couple of chapters - but then got distracted (for a year!) and never finished it. :( I know I should. She really is a cool woman. I got the book directly from Phyllis- we did an interview together on a cable access show and then sat next to each other at the Duarte festival. We traded books at the end of the show. Where did you meet her? Did you get her book?
