Late Spring Update
Hello there, fellow readers and writers!
Just got my camera bag from the deviantArt shop. It's as fabulous as I hoped. Cannot wait to load it up with all my stuff. I'm real excited I got it so cheap. Sad that the shop is closing. All good things...
Classes are over for the term. I will be doing my final project proposal this summer and reading a book about Nazi spies during the course of World War II. Grades are in for the classes I just took. I got solid A's in both {Novels into Film (adaptations) and Psychology and History of Film Noir}. I had an amazing time taking these courses.
This past weekend my college hosted the First Annual Student Wellness Retreat. Our students are some of the greatest people out there, and I don't say that because I am one. They are an amazing group and I enjoy getting to meet up with them when I can. My office heard lots of good things about the retreat and we'll be holding it again, but next time there will be a residency involved. This is very exciting stuff.
While at the retreat, I was able to meet up with fellow film students. I also met one of our local news anchors, Benita Zahn, who asked for my card. I wish she had more time because she really wanted to talk shop and that would have been fun. She's a great lady and gave a great keynote at the retreat.
Next up for me is a Final Project Proposal, Some light coursework in preparation for the Fall Term and finishing book two of my trilogy (Faith Fallen Series, see preliminary script: [http://kwilliamsauthor.deviantart.com...]
In case this is your first time reading my journal - I wrote a little about the series in my last entry:
"January 2013 - February 2013 - March 2013 . . .
I am currently working on my trilogy. I will be adapting Faith Fallen into three novels. It currently is a screenplay, which you can take a gander at here: [http://kwilliamsauthor.deviantart.com...]. I have made substantial changes to the text. This summer, I will be working on Book 2 (Burning Down - working title). So far, I know I want to deal with the topic of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. The tide is changing and we're no longer tolerant of women being cast to lesser roles and having to accept the abuse of their partners. It's something that I have cared about for a long time, having friends and family who have suffered at the hands of an abusive family member or partner. I am also a survivor. I don't usually talk about my own experience, preferring to leave it in the past. That said, I am not entirely silent on the issue, and I don't believe that in this era we should be. So this work will be highly personal and very poignant to some. Here's hoping that I do it some justice and shine the light in the dark spaces.
Other than that, it looks like I will provide the body model for one of the covers. It's odd, but it will save money. I can't afford a model right now and with the equipment to do the photos myself and someone to do the photomanipulation (that's the guy I have to pay), things should be well in hand. Now, I just need to take the summer to think out these covers. There will be three, and I am excited to learn what they'll be in the future. Ideas are bubbling around my brain..."
Have a fabulous Spring!

The 1930s were a prelude to a world at war. "Op-Dec: Operation Deceit" delves into a story of high society, and the daughter of high society in Claire Healey. Driven from her parents, she travels throughout New England, and in the process they uncover secrets that many with money and power would prefer to keep quiet, and Claire isn't sure how far they will go. "Op-Dec" is a riveting read with plenty of twists and turns, highly recommended.
