Reviews of Fledgling Jason Steed.

"Jason Steed is James Bond as a boy"

“You will laugh, cry and get hooked on this
exciting coming of age adventure”

Fictionreviewer.com
A coming of age heart wrenching story packed with laughs and fast paced action. Most readers who love action and spy fiction will devour this dynamic book in a single sitting or two, otherwise they’ll be in extreme agony waiting to see what happens next.

Trying to write a new chapter for the editor but just got eaten alive.

Trying to write a new chapter for the editor but just got eaten alive. Some damned insect has bitten it's way up my arm. I'm having to stop and scratch after every other sentence.

Jerry Wexler passed away today.

Sadly a good friend of mine and many others died today. Siesta Key resident and the Worlds greatest music producer Jerry Wexler.
Throughout his life he worked with the great singers of all time. Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, George Michael, Dusty Springfiled, Otis Redding. The list goes on and on.
Sarasota lost one of its most loved residents today.

Mark just read your article in the Washington Post. Very impressive, nice to see you have been recognised as a writer with a craft for painting pictures with words.

Thank you Mark for the welcome! New book? Would love to read it. Where might I find it? Also, welcome to Sarasota. I grew up here and love it still... ever changing. I currently reside in Venice. (talk about change)

Hey Mark,
Thanks for the book - I promise that one day I will actually have time to read it!

Mark,
So how's the book coming along? I'd like to make a date with you to come on the show and talk about it!

Thank you. 'The Story Teller' is a great piece. Sandra and I love it, we have it proudly displayed in our home. The eyes followed me around this morning as I was trying to wake up to my second coffee.
Regards to you and Erika.

No, no, no I don't write - well thats a lie - I journal when I think of it, and I doodle poetry. lol I am interested in the process and have always wondered about it but never researched it. Long before a certain book became popular after being brought to the public's attention thanks to a talk show host(ess).

I know the first step is you actual have to put pen to paper or hand to keyboard and ink in printer as the first step - but then what - in this day of electronic books and self submission - are agents still used? Does it matter what type of book/novel/lyrics are submitted to what book publisher - do they really differenciate based on talent. What / how does an editor decide what is talent and what is drivel. hmmm maybe not so interested in the authors as the publication process - no offense. What make you decide to write and how did you find a publisher - do you have an agent - did someone bring you through the process?

Have some good friends in Manchester - go United. lol

I see Cliff Roles has just joined as well, he has also brought most of Sarasota’s artist and actors with him, and He is also a Brit.
So watch out, we may be after revenge. This July 4th we will invade and take our country back.
I was brought up in South London and later Cornwall.
As to how an author gets published.... That’s a big one. Since a certain British lady wrote some books about a boy wizard and made herself richer than the Queen. Everyone is writing. This is great as it allows self expression.
What are you writing?

Hi Mark - Well it certainly seems that when you clearly state and ask the universe or the well that it materializes what you ask for. I asked to find out about how an author would get published and less than 24 hours later two of you (authors that is) join the book group. Amazing your both Brits. :P What part of the UK?

Hello Mark
It's nice to see another published writer, but also a fellow Brit.
Take care..
Oliver & Simon
