Lingo Slinger: Writer of quirky, provocative & edgy flash fiction!

Ranked #23,122 in Arts & Design, #554,493 overall | Donates to Squidoo Charity Fund

WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?!

That's right... I said it!

Welcome to my lens folks. Here you will find writing and links from my published work on Lingo Slinger. This lens primarily focuses on my flash fiction, however you will also find some of my art, YouTube videos, book recommendations, random spewings as well as selections of my photography.

If you are sensitive to political correctness, sex, death, language, or drugs, best not to read my stuff. I try to keep it edgy and interesting, and stories about little boys and their happy obedient dogs don't seem to do it for me.

If you like what you see, I encourage you to leave me a comment, drop me a line, let me know. I love to get direct feedback from the human species. I am currently pimping my work out to various publishers to see if there are any takers and am hoping to be on book shelves soon (at a store near you)! I am also seeking YOUR assistance with this endeavor and have stated my desperate plea for help below in "Will Write For Food"!

My camera is pretty much an extension of my arm. I carry it wherever I go and take pictures all the time, whenever inspiration strikes.

Will Write For Food - A Desperate Plea For Help

okay... maybe not (unless it's like a filet mignon wrapped in bacon with a side of aparagus drizzled in Hollandaise).

If you are a human being with an open mind, a love of fiction, and appreciate my quirky odd style of writing, I would like to ask for your help.

Every day of my life, I write. Writing is more important to me than a lot of things. I have been writing for so long that I have accumulated a massive collection of salable stuff.

Writing for free is great, and I continue to enjoy it, however I want to make the leap from "writer" to published "author".

I need people like you, who appreciate and enjoy my style of writing to help me get the word out.

HOW CAN YOU HELP ME?
--------------------
1.) If you read a post you like, forward it on to a friend or send them a link to my lens or site.

2.) If you like what you read, or feel passionate about a particular post, comment, and give me some feedback, even if you wanna shout at me!

3.) If you are shagging or know a publisher, send him (or her) my link.

4.) If you are an agent (or know one) - have them stop by my lens or website.

5.) If you are a fellow writer and have some tips to share about promoting yourself, please pass them on.

WHY SHOULD YOU HELP ME?
-----------------------
Why not?!
Maybe you like me
Maybe you love to hate me
Because you believe in helping artists
Because you want to see my book in the bookstore
Because you want a signed copy
So you can say you know an author
Take credit for my book being published
You want to see me escape from corporate HELL

Okay... Someone sniped my old blog and stole my name, so from time to time a spam link may appear in the results with my writing. I assure you that I would never post spam links and will do everything I can for this NOT to happen.
Sorry, there are no matching results available from Google
