- Free contest for mystery authors November 22, 2009
I am inquiring about a possible guest interview on your blog. My name is Brian Sandell, I am a young, twenty two year old author with two works published, and I’m looking to gain more exposure for myself. My two works are a suspense/thriller and a family Christmas story. Both, of these works are available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.
I desire in writing not only to entertain, but also to show people how we can learn from the characters, the relationships, the highs, and the lows about how life should truly be lived. I also have two more books which are getting looked at by publishers and agents, across the board. The bottom line is that I write not just to entertain, or sell books, I see my career as something far greater than that. In writing, I desire to show and inspire a broken culture to stand and believe in something. I would love to chat about this wonderful, unique opportunity and I really hope we can help each other out. The best way to get in contact with me is email. One thing I am going to start doing in setting myself apart is I am going to donate 1/3 of my royalties to The Children’s Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I really think being as blessed as I am, I should give something back. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
Have a wonderful day,
Brian D. Sandell
I’m stumped! I would think a website named Ask Wendy with posts labeled “ASK WENDY your writing question” would have a clear way for me to, well, ask Wendy a question! I see no form, no link, not even directions for sending a telepathic message. What am I missing? How does one ask Wendy anything?
