Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

Agent Update...And Other Things

I have mailed my last query today to targeted agents U through Y.

I have come up with a new strategy for improving my platform, which for those of you not in the know (myself, a member of 'not in the know' a year and a half ago). Your platform is similar to your resume or professional credibility in literary terms. Right now, my platform is weak because I've wasted several years in corporate America. Okay, not wasted because I learned a lot about human nature, myself and life in general and I met many interesting people I'll never forget who have made great fodder for plots and character development!;-)

Kidding! My material is strictly fictional so take your finger off your speed dial to your lawyer, put the telephone down, and continue reading for gosh sake! Besides, the only people who need worry are those closest to me, like my family.

Anyhow, I'll probably write less in the blog as a result of other things I need to do, as much as I enjoy writing for the three of you. Don't forget me and check back often!!! I plan to finish February out strong, as it is Black History Month!!!

I will still add excerpts from HER ESSENCE, so stay tuned.

Best,
Andrea
