Happy Halloween!!! A few days ago, I got an email from CengageGroup.com (which is considered one of the top 3 in educational resource periodicals worldwide) requesting the licensing rights to my painting, "Val Kilmer in Blue". Although I haven't received permission paperwork, yet I will (if it is legit) sign it.
I'm happy to say that this will be the second time that this work has been used for educational purposes.
Below are a few recent pictures of the artwork.

So, the book (BOY) was given to the library 2 years ago before they moved to their new home and just as promised once they got the new location it would be put on the shelves. Odd thing is that I have given over the past 2 years about a dozen of my different books, so I guess the rest of them will find a home at the UPL (Union Public Library). If you're in N.J., you can use the STELLA system to have the book put on hold and sent to an affiliated library. At the UPL, the majority of my books will be located on the 3rd floor in the adult fiction/local author's section.
The UPL is very accessible with elevators, plenty of seating and a friendly staff... One librarian even held my book while I snapped a few quick pics.
As more of my books become available, I will definitely notify you all of when to pick them up!!!
SO HAPPY!!!

BOY: A Story Based On True Events is NOT my first book BUT it is the first one to make it into NJ's STELLA library system... AND I AM SO PROUD!!! This means that people who never heard about my work can now read it for themselves!!!!
Below are a couple of screenshots to commemorate this GRAND career achievement
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!

GREAT NEWS ON BOTH ENDS!!!!
1) Stage 32 informed me that two of my projects/scripts got recommendations!!! They are now available for perusal by 3000 executives on Stage 32’s Marketplace!!! I will put links to them at the bottom of this post.
2) Josue Simao, one of the head librarians at UPL, stated that the books I submitted to the Stella system were taking some time because of the number of books that I submitted!!! They were used to maybe two at the max but I gave them a box of about 8 books so they are now being entered into the NJ library system… Whew 😅!!! I started to think the worst but everything in due time which is just STELLA(R)!!!! LOL!!! 😂
FYI I just checked the system and BOY is available!!!

A quick one to let you know that I have about 9 books under consideration with UPL's STELLA system. This means that all the libraries in NJ may be able (if the books are approved) to get copies of the majority of my most recent books.
Hopefully, the consortium will approve giving access to my books to all who may not be able to buy them. Personally, although grateful, I wish this were national not only for potential sales, but for the exposure to my writing. Several of the books that weren't included as of yet were THE LEPIDOPTERAN 3 & BEEP of which I will submit later when the mood hits me to do so.
Below are the links to the books on BN and Amazon.

I got there at about 10:45 to set up because the first half of the fair started at 11am. I saw some familiar faces from last year and as the event progressed took pictures of both new and old.
Fortunately, sold a few copies and gave some away in exchange for services which I will reveal later on in the year!!!
Overall, the nor’easter couldn’t stop all the action… I wish the authors in both halves of the fair the Best of Luck 🤞!!!
Cheers
