SoCal Local Wins Copy of The Victor through Goodreads
On December 16th, after a month-long contest in which I offered two copies of The Victor on Goodreads, a local girl was one of two chosen winners out of the 673 who vied to win a copy.
Her name is Annie Jackson and she works at 20th Century Fox Studios. I spent 2-1/2 hours driving in the horrific Los Angeles traffic (during a rain storm no less) to personally deliver her copy of The Victor to her office on the studio lot.
She was a wonderful hostess and gave me a quick tour around the lot on a golf cart and even a personal sound stage tour of the "Doll House" set that is currently being disassembled. It was a massive set and she told me about the series concept which sounded fascinating. I am now going to have to rent episodes of Doll House so I can see what that set looked like in all its' glory.
Thanks again, Annie, for being such a wonderful host! I hope we can become better friends. Enjoy the book!

Ever since I was a kid writing Steve Austin (Six Million Dollar Man) short stories with my best friend Lisa, I dreamt of having a book published but I never had the “big idea” until I was about 22 years old. I was listening to Amy Grant’s latest album “Fathers Eyes” and in particular to her song entitled “Fairytale” when a particular verse caught my attention: “…two princes wages the battle for eternity but The Victor has been known from the start…
Being a J.R.R. Tolkien fan, an image popped into my head: Jesus in a suit of shining armor and Satan in a suit of black armor crossing swords over “the bride”. At the time I was working as a receptionist at an ammunition factory and not always busy so to fill my time and entertain myself I would write my story on the state-of-the-art in technology back then; an IBM Selectric typewriter. My co-workers could hardly wait for each page to come out and really seemed to like it. I typed for what seemed months, rewriting ...more
