THE MYSTERIES OF “THE HEN” UNFOLD IN A STUNNING WORK OF LITERATURE
The Illustrated Hen celebrates the inner world of imagination and the sublime uniqueness of a young man struggling to cope.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Illustrated Hen is a story about a young man named Ray, a common boy with an uncommonly vivid imagination.  He inhabits two worlds – an inner dream world of heroic characters, detectives, soldiers, mystery beings, magical animals, the occasional vampire, and artwork that comes alive – and the outer world that he shares with friends and family.  Sometimes the worlds overlap, and sometimes they collide. One day, in an attempt to make sense of it all, he finds himself caught in a vortex of his imagination. As Ray confronts his fears, desires, and passions, even the most mundane events become curious wonders in his journey to find a way to acceptance, peace and transformation.  Finally he comes to understand the true magic of the real world.

Readers will be captivated as the stories go from tales about the ever-changing and enigmatic Hen to bizarre stories of stolen Scrabble pieces, vampirism, family tragedies, lost art, and ultimately what this means to Ray. As the stories unfold the reader discovers why Ray has been locked up in his own self-imposed world of curiosity and creativity. The joy of the discovery makes the book a certain page-turner.

The Illustrated Hen is currently available for pre-sale on the 3L Publishing website (http://3lpublishing.flyingcart.com/?p=detail&pid=103&cat_id=) and releases nationwide on Sept. 1, 2019 on Amazon in print and Kindle; Nook on Barnes and Noble; and iBook via Apple Books.

Step-by-Step Building Sexual Tension Between Characters

-
We'll do a kind of mini-workshop on the blog to show you how to build sexual tension either in a book or script. Watch the two methods I employ between Brea and her love interest Drew. Read it below, and I will deconstruct it for you to show you the slow progression and build up. Please notice, I know the entire storyline between these two, so I'm working by making subtle gestures that only an informed audience would notice, which is why you need to know where your story is going and how you intend for it to end so you can build the foreshadowing into the story. I'm not suggesting you don't let some parts of the story organically evolve, but I do know that to build the story arc you need to the end game and character flaws and motivations. So, let me deconstruct that scene for you. Notice a lot of looks pass between them (keeping the focus on the eye-to-eye contact, which is one of the keys to building sexual tension). And mind you, nothing is sexier than a forbidden

Can I Pick Your Brain?

I am blogging about this in response to another blog I saw on the subject. I didn't completely read that author's total opinion, but I read enough to post a big, "You tell 'em sister!" In my line of work as a publisher and marketing specialist, I run into prospective clients who basically through the excuse of preliminary research, put my staff to work to put together proposals, get print quotes, ask endless advice, ask for multiple meetings, etc. -- all under the guise of "picking our brains" and potential business. While we've gotten better about discerning the difference between real business opportunities and those who make endless requests only to spend time drinking coffee with us and going nowhere fast ... except off to either another publisher with our materials (usually one that in their minds is less expensive) or to try and self-publish (again, using our materials). Whether people set out to deliberately use and run, isn't the point.

In Loving Memory -- John Andrew Gamble, 1962-2011

I rarely discuss my private life on my blog, but I wanted to take a moment to pay tribute to my brother who passed unexpectedly sometime in July in Wasilla, Alaska . John was a true mountain man. He wasn't the least bit materialistic and never cared about worldly possessions. In the last 20 years after he moved to Alaska, I saw him three times, so we were not close; but I admire that he decided to live life his way up in the wilderness fishing for endless numbers of day. I always wondered how he seemed to never bore of it. He would catch so many salmon, he would live off fresh fish year round. He loved to cook, and I honestly have no idea why he got a degree in marketing from Sacramento State. Looking back on it, I think he would have made a terrific ranger. From an early age, he loved nature. He used to catch trout with his hands up at our family cabin. We would wander the forest together. When we were little, we spent sometimes two to three weeks up there, hiking around the w
