  Howdy,   Well this week we will officially say goodbye to Summer. This means cooler weather is on the way. For us here in the south this is a good thing as we will return to great temps and hopefully dryer sky’s. For those in the north get that winter coat out and check your car battery for cold cranking and all the other things required to prep for winter.   Besides the end of Summer this week Monday also brings another anniversary for Deb and I. Monday the 21 st  we hit 27 years since we said, “I DO!” I will not sugar coat it as it has not always been smooth sailing and like any relationship we have hit bumps and potholes in the road but my wife is still my best friend and the love of my life. We will keep moving forward, Love you Deb! (See picture for from the Wedding and inset bellow the reception.)   I know everyone is waiting on my Audio book review but I am going to make a quick note on  Times Castaway Blackbeard’s Treasure  first. This past w...

  Ahoy Mates, I apologize for the Blog being a day late this week but it was intentional. You see after getting involved with the  Pirates Of The Caribbean The Immortal Sword Project  Deb and I have met some extremely fun and nice people. The fact that Deb and I have always enjoyed the Renaissance festivals and related events, I have always considered getting more involved with some of the Pirate / Leviathan groups. I have a meet a few different groups and Deb and I have kind of hit it off with some folks that have similar issues in regular life to us, so we attended a gathering of one of the St. Augustine Pirate Crews. It was very enlightening and we met even more people and learned what they are about and the things they do for charity etc. True between my day job and the fact that it is about an hour and a half away we cannot do every event but I think we will likely join this crew. They seem to be more relaxed and understanding of peeps personal life situations. It se...

  Hello Gang, Here we are at Labor Day the un-official end to Summer. Where did the time go? This week’s picture was taken in the front yard as we spotted a nice rainbow. Also during the past week with work being slow I focused on making my last run through Times Castaway Book Two, before sending it for the first round of editing. It will be another book filled with exciting adventures of Ker and Antonia along with the rest of the gang and a couple new character’s.  Some of you may have also stopped in and noticed the new updated refresh of my website  Wallytyoung.com  I think it is a little nicer and with an added page that will be growing steadily, so keep visiting.   As most of you know I run specials for the Holidays so for those reading this on or before Labor Day  Inanna Swynford Pirate Hunter  Kindle Version on Amazon is only 99¢. Jump over and pick it up!  Now how about we jump into my current Audio Book review! This past week I gave ...

  Greetings, The past week started rough with a few bumps as life continued to toss out it’s challenges, but here we are. “Just batten down the hatches and ride it out until ye reach calmer waters.”  Part of the past week included a couple jobs for my alter ego’s (DAY JOB). All went smoothly including a basic set for sound on the beach for a small wedding. Hard to believe that after all these years in the biz and over two years at this location on the beach, this was my first beach side set up! It went very well and I received an email from the groom thanking me for helping make it a wonderful success. He wanted to play a song from his phone, and even though it is a small item the adaptors for phones there are multiple types and he forgot his. Well I had his back so away we went. It was warm but the weather was perfect making it a nice little ceremony. Wish them all the best! Sorry I didn’t get a book finished for a review this week and with everything I have yet to start anot...

  Howdy Mates, This week has been a good one with my Alter Ego, that AV guy, taking care of a few small events. No spectacular events this week. For the first time in months I was able to attend the  Space Coast Writers Guilds  monthly meeting. It was nice to see the new meeting venue and how they have a great turn out even in the middle of summer.  I have completed another run through Times Castaway - Book Two. I recently heard back from my early Beta reader that I bounce things off of and his comments was cursing me because he couldn’t put it down. He was amazed at the level of rewrite I had made from the first draft. My goal is to release this one around the first of the year.  I have an Audiobook review of the audio version of   The Cove – The Summer Suspense Mysteries, Book 1.  This book was authored by  LJ Ross  and narrated by  Claire Corbett . Claire did a very nice job with the narration keeping the character voicings solid...

Greetings All, Yep the August heat continues and this past week was no exception. However I need to tell you about a great group of people that even with the steamy heat and the onslaught by those little blood sucking vampires, braved it all as they donated their time to keep a dream alive. If you have been following for the past few weeks you already know about a project to revive Pirates of the Caribbean from the ocean depths. A quick refresh  Pirates of the Caribbean The Immortal Sword  is a fan made film that is working on selling the overall story to Buena Vista Pictures. It is my understanding there is serious consideration and after the first two screenings some changes were suggested by executives who attended and others so a couple scene reshoots were arranged.  Now I am not really here to talk about the movie itself this week but about the people involved. You see I was invited to pitch in however I could, as an assistant, and extra whatever was needed. Well I l...
