About This Author
The majority of my writing has a twist (or multiple twists) and much of it is philosophical, mysterious, supernatural, or some combination of the aforementioned. My dream job would be writing for a television series, while simultaneously working on a movie screenplay! NEWS: I have just been promoted to Rising Star by Kat Author Icon, my sponsor!

A Brief Update
I still do not have my laptop repaired - HP is still delaying the date. The motherboard must be replaced - it was custom built. So, I am still working on a new PC without all my files and programs.

I have been researching self-publishing companies and working on promoting both my writing and my website.

And, with all the other life issues going on, I had a close family member hospitalized this week. The emergency surgery was successful and all is now well. I only bring this up because it pulled me away from my writing for a while.

I have posted two new items in my portfolio: a traditional poem entitled The Mystic Hole and four short acrostic poems for the word BINGO.

My website http://www.XanderRiley.net is up and running great. I added to separate sub-domains to it.
1. The public site contains only a few of my poems.
2. The Members site contains the remainder of my poetry and all of my short stories.
3. The Preferred Members site contains my novels (still in progress).

The Members site is password protected to keep the general public from stealing any of my work or ideas. I will gladly provide the password to any Writing.com author, if requested. However, it contains the same work I have posted here - only there is a little more detail about the writing and a picture or two posted.

The Preferred Members site is also password protected. It contains my books that are still in progress. I will only divulge the password to certain people - Kat (my Rising Star Sponsor), Don Prescott (who has helped with reviewing my stories), my friends and family (for reviewing & editing purposes), and any agents or publishers who show interest in my work. If there are any experienced authors on W.C who wish to provide help &/or support, please let me know - I will seriously consider expanding my review & support base!

Until next time,
Xander
