So very soon the countdown will begin to the release of ‘Legs and Wheels, 3072’ by Rei Link and S. Rowe.
It has been an experience writing this book. It’s a collaboration that’s somewhat detached from the ‘normal’ writing process.
Why? It’s because we wanted it to be raw, real and authentic. We want to help the reader to empathise with one of the voices and relate to the other.
Release date of ‘Legs and Wheels, 3072’ is September 30th 2015.
‘Legs and Wheels, 6072’ the new, heart felt and honest book from Rei Link & S. Rowe will hit the downloads on Wednesday 30th September 2015!
A blank canvas. You know, that’s how I see it. To be an author is like being an artist.
One thing my dad always said, was that I was an excellent story teller and sketcher/painter. Be told me I should always sell my drawings and stories.
My biggest issue is which one am I best at? In most circumstances, they are not the biggest of money spinners.
I chose books. Although, officially I’m not an author until somebody buys my books. My first book I published was free download only. Nobody downloaded it. Not surprising. Poetry is never a spinner.
However, my second book ‘Legs and Wheels, 6072’ will be available to buy soon. Here’s hoping!
As I sit here in a busy and smokey coffee shop here in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, I wonder why I ever chose a teaching career over the two things I really wanted to do.
For a long time I trained in the realms of Musical Theatre. That’s great! Lots of jazz hands and unbelievably camp shows. Glitz and glamour for pittance. I wanted to be a performer. Not on TV or anything like that, but I did go as far as getting three diplomas and a degree. I even made a short film called Johnny and got myself an agent.
When I realized work was short I trained as a teacher in disability in drama, sign language and then later as a teacher in English as a foreign language.
I then moved to Japan and worked as a teacher. A bit bland for a former Musical Theatre buff.
So I took a few back steps. My hands needed to stay creative. My mind is always on the go. So much so, that it’s difficult to sleep at night.
I went back to one of my creative talents from when I was younger. That is my writing.
Writers are not paid much, but when I was younger I wanted to be the next Roald Dahl or J.K Rowling. So I started a horror story. I only got so far in when I chose to stop. I’d run out of creative juices. I decided I was too young to make a full long book about horror.
Over ten years later, I penned a poetry book and published it onto a free site for download. Nobody downloaded it, but I didn’t really promote it, so my message never really was sent to more than 50 people.
Since then I have picked up a book that I’d penned several years back and have begun to type and edit it.
However, my current book that I have co-authored is my biggest hurdle. It’s got an extremely important message, and as I sit here pondering into my coffee cup, I try to come up with inspirational promotional ways to get mine and my co-authors message out to the rest of the world.
‘Legs and Wheels, 6072’ by Rei Link and S. Rowe. Release date: Summer 2015
Two people with two different lives. Could their coming together really help people understand each other and work together just a little bit more?
How do people live their lives? How do two people see the world? How do we really know ourselves? How do we…………oh, whats the damn point? Do people really see me? Do they know I’m here? Why don’t they understand me? Why don’t they understand? Like I said…whats the damn point?
Two people, who live at the opposite ends of the spectrum and two different ends of the world, both want nothing more than to be understood or heard by others. Both are happy, both laugh a lot, both feel ignored for different reasons, both get scared. Two people with two different lives. Could their coming together really help people understand each other and work together just a little bit more?
