The People Behind SALTED: Annetta Ribken

I hail from the film world. Something I've discovered is most moviegoers tend to forget after a film ends that all those names in the credits are actual human beings. It's easy to think of them as shadow people. After all, most of us will never have the chance to meet them, nor ask what it was like to work on such productions.
I've found books to be much the same. Truth be told, I used to skip straight to the story, rather than look at the credits page.
Now I know better.
In preparingSalted...

Tangled-up-n-Frozen

Here’s the great part of being Dad to a little girl: I can now publicly admit to sitting through animated Disney movies. None of you guys can give me any flack for this either because...well...daughter. Plus, any Dads who say you’ve never done the same for your little girl are liars. Just sayin’.

Now, this is not to say I’m raising a little wannabe princess who, like Anna in Frozen, believes she’ll meet a guy and become engaged in the same night.

You earned it. Here's a (continued) SALTED excerpt.

But unlike those poor wretches stolen from the surface and dragged into the depths, Lenny didn’t have anything with which to compare his Salt existence. Born in the realm beneath the waves, he knew of no other life until his owner raised him up and gave him a profession.
None of Lenny’s fellow catchers bothered to stir when he woke screaming from a night terror, two hours past. Each recognized the cries associate...

Wow! What a weekend!

I feel like I’ve written this a thousand times already in the comments section, Facebook, phone calls, etc. but I am truly humbled by the support you all have shown me. The fabulous Miss Molly Jones called me out the other day though. Said I should’ve expected more than three of you to read my last post. I admit it. You were right, Molly. I did expect more than three readers.
I expected four. ;)
A couple of you have asked me what the events leading up to this past Friday were like, so here...

It's heeeeere!

Whew. This has been a long time coming, friends.
Honestly, I can't believe I kept the secret this long. My apologies to those who assumed the "big" news was acting related. Hopefully there'll be more of that sort in due time.
Meanwhile, I'm excited to share this story with you.
I began this journey in early winter 2009. Living in what I will always consider home, Indiana, far from any acting jobs, and between consultant work...what was a guy to do?
