I’ve always loved a good road trip.\u00a0 My newly completed manuscript, “Looking for Redfeather” is a contemporary American road trip story about three runaway teens who meet up serendipitously and take off in a stolen Cadillac looking for an Apache blues singer named Redfeather.\u00a0 (YA 56,000 words)<\/p>\n

Part of the story takes place in Denver, on the Sixteenth Street Mall, Tom’s Diner, and at Ziggie’s Saloon.<\/a>\u00a0 Other featured locations are Dulce, New Mexico, Tucson, Arizona and Inn of the Mountain Gods <\/a>in Ruidoso, New Mexico,<\/p>\n

Sponsored by Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers<\/a>, the Incite Denver awards ceremony<\/a> was held at Denver’s Mercury Cafe <\/a>on February 20, 2012.\u00a0\u00a0 The first pitch, by author Terry Kroenung, was for a witty and literary sci-fi titled “Paragon of the Eccentric.”<\/p>\n

“Looking for Redfeather<\/a>” is the second presentation.\u00a0 I began by reading the first 100 words of the novel, then followed with a brief synopsis, acted out behind me by Emilie (playing the parts of the three teens) and Matt Campbell as Redfeather.<\/p>\n

Stephanie Carter’s “The bookshop at Whistlestop”, an intriguing historical novel for middle graders, is the third pitch.<\/p>\n

“Bee Candy” by Sullamuth Smith is the fourth, and David Kelley’s “The Killer Wore Clown Shoes” provides a fantastic slap-stick finale to the short pitches.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers for sponsoring the contest that incited me to finish the story I started in 2007!\u00a0 And thanks to the many friends, fans and family who supported me in my efforts.<\/p>\n

Redfeather was fun to write and fun to pitch.\u00a0 Watch all five short pitches on YouTube!<\/a><\/p>\n
