From Kickstarter:

South America, home to the highest peaks outside the Himalaya.
The Seven Summits and Volcanic Seven Summits are my personal and professional quests. I've been journaling and publishing my expeditions and exploits in my successful self-published "Seven Summits Quest Series" currently at 4 volumes.
  • Elbrus, My Waterloo
  • Orizaba, My Almost Free Mexico Adventure
  • Carstenz, Stone Age to Iron Age
  • Elbrus Race 2013
These books are all available on Amazon Kindle, and the last two in paperback. I've had great success selling these books, all slightly under novel length.

Note that the book "Die Trying" by Bo Parfet comes up in this search. This book was instrumental in my decision to pursue the Seven Summits Quest and name my series. His experiences on Carstensz foreshadowed mine in several details.
My goal is to create a novel length book of 300 pages or more about my expedition to South America where I'll attempt to do two mountains, one from each of these two Seven Summits lists, back-to-back.
Aconcagua: the highest mountain in South America, the Western Hemisphere, and Southern Hemisphere, In fact, it's the highest mountain outside the Himalaya. One of the Seven Summits.
Nevado Ojos del Salado: the highest volcano in South America, Western Hemisphere, and Southern Hemisphere, and the second highest mountain outside the Himalaya. One of the Volcanic Seven Summits.
For the months of February and March 2014 I will travel to South America with my tablet and camera, to record my adventures as I have with previous books in the Seven Summits Quest Series. --- Read More  http://kck.st/1ul77Po

Every Book Holds a Little World Inside

When I'm in full on writing mode, I can crank out up to 10,000 words a day.That's not normal though. I try to set a goal of getting in 2,000 words a day, like the old Stephen King writing advice states. “I like to get ten pages a day, which amounts to 2,000 words." Stephen King Goodreads I got quite a few books written in a short time span last fall, then settled down into normal daily life. The intensity required to write a book like "My Sweet Infected" was unexpectedly devastating. I became my protagonist in so many ways as she crept into my psyche and took over for me as I channeled her every thought as I created the story of her awakening. Read the book if you want to know more about this ruined world with humans on the brink of extinction. Find the clues, sort through the chaos, and realize the end is inevitable. The little world inside this book is doomed. Check it out, get the free sample for your Kindle - On Amazon My Sweet Infected (My Inf...

Eternal Redemption - Review [#horror #fantasy]

Eternal Redemption by Paul A. Wunderlich My rating: 2 of 5 stars Rating this: under the little star at position 2nd from the left, there is a little balloon that pops up "It was OK" That's about it. In general, the tone and language seem like a fervent attempt to imitate high fantasy. There are a series of editing errors that cause some confusion. It's tough to write a protagonist who drifts in and out of their own head. Time slips around in circles. An entire world of minions is disposable. When you're sitting at the top of an Everest sized pile of skulls, what's the next big challenge? Oh, yeah, trick the master trickster. Well, you get exactly what you ask for. With a little syrup on the side. View all my reviews

Film Festival History

A very long time ago when I lived in Kansas City, I attended a workshop on how to write a screenplay. At the time I was already editing my own fanzine that I later sold for an outrageous profit. I was also writing regularly for a handful of local magazines including New Age and Health topics, like the kind you find in massage studios. I did quite well and kept in touch with the instructor, who was a Hollywood Reader - the people that pre-screen submissions to studios. I wrote a screenplay and shopped it around some, getting a call from a VP at Viacom at my job in landscaping. I was completely and totally unprepared for that call and botched it terribly. I kept that bug in the back of my mind for a few years, and later when a company moved me to Utah for a tech job, I ended up hanging on the periphery of the Indie Film crowd. I went to a very professional Short Film Fest in Nevada, and decided I would make one for a Utah fest. The topic of the short was supposed to be something ...
