Ideas on what to Write A Book on…..?

100 First Pages $14.52 This book is called 100 First Pages because that’s what it is. Each page in the book is ‘supposed’ to be the first page of a novel. Next to that page, on the left, are my comments about how the novel might go, along with some of my personal thoughts on the ‘subject’.

When you buy the book and read it, you can go to my website listed in the back and vote for your favorite BEGINNING. You can also suggest a title for the book.

1975… $0.99 The true millennium. I began this book four years ago. It began as a way of helping me heal from my first real heartbreak. Writing had always been my outlet for personal thoughts and expressions of love. Being very shy, this came in handy. When I began writing this book, it began as a simple book of love notes aimed at those who found themselves in the same position as myself; hoping that at least one love lost individual would be able to relate. At the time, this was all I wanted. Once I felt that I had poured enough of my pain into the pages I laid down my pen. There was nothing more for me to write, so I thought. After a while, I began to notice that my situation hadn’t changed, I was still moving from job to job. With only an 11th grade education there wasn’t really much I could do except to go back to school but that had been years ago. I really felt that I was better off teaching myself. I would look for things to write about, digest them, analyze them and put them in my own words, how I saw them and what I felt. This is when it began to take shape far beyond just words of heartache. I could see things that no one else saw!

Excerpt: Amelia Dyer Amelia Elizabeth Dyer (1829 June 10, 1896) achieved notoriety as probably the most prolific baby-farm murderer of Victorian England . She was tried and hanged for one murder, but there is little doubt she was responsible for many more similar deaths over a period of perhaps twenty years. Background Unlike many of her generation, Amelia Dyer was not the product of grinding poverty . She was born in a small village near Bristol , the daughter of a master shoemaker . She learned to read and write and developed a love of literature and poetry. However, her somewhat privileged childhood was marred by the eventual illness of her mother who developed typhus . Dyer apparently witnessed her mother’s violent fits and was obliged to care for her until she died. Researchers would later comment on the effect this had on Dyer, and also what it would teach Dyer about the signs exhibited by those who appear to lose their mind through illness. Later, she trained as a nurse , a somewhat gruelling job in Victorian times, but it was seen
