Hey Stephen! You have a lot of people pulling at you, so I’ll simply say that my novel "War Star Rising!" is along the lines of courageous young people who make a positive difference in their world. It was inspired by my daughter who was one courageous young lady in the face of a terminal illness. These days, helping young people to avoid disaster and to see that life IS worth living is part of what I'm about. Take care. ZD

I wish a fish was someone I knew
Then I could swim the ocean blue
If I could swim like fishes do
Then I would swim about with you
What fun we’d have my fish friend and I
Swimming about beneath the blue sky
Not a care in the world
As you can see
Swimming about my fish friend and me
We’d meet fishes friends
And eat fishes food
Now that would put me
In a good fishes mood
Playing fun fishes games
And learning new fishes names
Its all very different
Its not at all the same
We’d visit far off fish places
And see funny fish faces
They would make us feel right at home
And sleeping at night
There would be no time for fright
For we would never be left all alone
Some new things I learn
Like fish soccer and all
I’m not sure how well I may do
Swimming upside down
Dressed like a fish clown
How fun, its all so brand new
When you are a fish
You can swim far and wide
You can swim with the tide
You can swim up and down
You can swim round and round
You can swim here and there
You can swim anywhere
My fish time is over
I will never forget
My fish friend and all of our fun
He showed me new places
And friendly fish places
But my fish friend adventure is done.

Hey Stephen. Can't get enough of your profile pic. That's exactly how I been feeling lately too. "Willy Wonka seeks Oompa-Loompas, and maybe a Charlie."

Hey Stephen. Can't get enough of your profile pic. That's exactly how I been feeling lately too. "Willy Wonka seeks Oompa-Loompas, and maybe a Charlie." Sounds like a creepy personal ad, but that's how I feel about my company Romeo+Juliet Press. So much growth these past 2 weeks I've been on leave, but with an Iraq deployment looming, who's gonna run my factory when I'm gone. I'm gonna need to find helpers. I can't go on doing it all solo forever. And someone who will stand in for me, who will wanna do things MY way. See how that metaphor works so well?

Hi, I'm Phyllis Sdoia-Satz, an educator, published author, professional musician and I have a new project called The Life and Times of Sasha, the Sad Ferret and am looking for a new agent. Mine is retiring very soon.

It is in several formats: children's book book with written text and illustraiton; book with written text and CD of music and spoken narration, DVD, containing written text, spoken narration, still and semi-animated iillustrations, and accompanying music (like Peter and the Wolf). We want to promote this project in its several different forms.You can see Sasha in 3 segments on the UVU portal. Hit classics; hit kids and family, on the bottom of page 1 and top of page 3, is the 3 segments of The Life and Times of Sasha, the Sad Ferret.

Please look at my jacketflap bio and my published works. We have several other projects in the works.What we are really seeking is an agent who can handle all or most of our projects. I am in Miami, and my husband and I have a music school there, Sdoia-Satz Music Institute. Please see our website www.sdoiasatz.com Thanks

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for accepting my invite! I'm new to Jacketflap. Actually, I'm new to YA fiction and I'm having a great time with it. It's that fifteen-year-old girl inside me that just has to have her say! Now, hard at work on second book in the Unbidden Magic series.
