Hello all,
Greetings from my easy chair with my swollen, vasculitis ravaged legs and feet perched on an ottoman for as much comfort as I can muster. That along with pain medication is helping me to get past the hitch in my get along.
As 2009 creeps up on us, I wanted to be the first to wish everyone a very Healthy, Happy, Wealthy and Wise New Year. We've had some weirdness in 2008, but I'm hoping for better things to come in '09.
Now, for your viewing pleasure, I am posting my newest Presskit trailer. I'll be posting a bit more regularly now that I am not incapacitated in the hospital.
Cheers Everyone!~

What would you do if you had a Million Bucks?
How many times have you wondered about that? I've done it all my life.
"Why don't you sell the doorknob, Mamaw?" I would ask increduously.
"Why? It's just a glass doorknob," she replied.
Well, today I thought about what I would do if I had a million dollars...
I would buy a private jet and hire a pilot to fly me, my partner and furry kids to:
Called: "The Ghostwriter's Den". It will be furnished with overstuffed couches and chairs similar to Steak and Ale, with rich colors and fancy schmancy fair. All of my books would be framed and hung on the wall and other author friends would also have their books on the wall (but only if they held a book signing during the day there). The vodka martini would be called instead, "Taryn's Tini". 
Who would run this operation? Gordon Ramsey...
Aaahhh, don't you love to dream? I think tomorrow I will go to the hardware store and purchase a glass doorknob to put on our bedroom door. Cause, you never know if you have a diamond or not.
More Musings Later-
I remember when I was young, I would spend time with my grandparents at their small home in Port Arthur, Texas. I noticed one day a glass doorknob to their bedroom and was captivated.
"Why don't you sell the doorknob, Mamaw?" I would ask increduously.
"Why? It's just a glass doorknob," she replied.
"No it's not! It's the biggest diamond I've ever seen!" I was convinced she and my grandfather were "rich as creases" as they used to say and just not telling me about it!
Well, today I thought about what I would do if I had a million dollars...
Believe it or not, the very first thing I would do (I swear) would be to go to bed and not worry about getting up at any certain time in the morning. (That's my PDiddy talking though).
I would buy a private jet and hire a pilot to fly me, my partner and furry kids to:
- Key West to see Ernest Hemingway's house and watering hole and 9 toed cats.
- Chicago and see the Oprah show
- Maine to sail around the coast
- Boston to have a drink at where they filmed "Cheers" and to lay some flowers on my friend, Pearl's grave. She was the one who taught me to love vodka martinis. Cheers old girl! (Hallow?)
- New York to have dinner at one of Gordon Ramsey's restaurants and 1 of Bobby Flay's restaurants.
- California - to see San Francisco, Malibu, San Diego and other lovely coastline cities.
- Then, I would have the pilot fly us to Hawaii for a few days.
- After a couple or three days, I would fly to the places I have written about that have captivated me through other's eyes:
- Manila, Hong Kong (I would want to see the fortune tellers I have heard about there), Thailand to see Loi Kroh Road, the most mystical road in the world, and Beijing, China...to look up my good friend that I've never met, Alan Solomon.
The last of my selfish expenditures would be the purchase and creation of my own restaurant.
Called: "The Ghostwriter's Den". It will be furnished with overstuffed couches and chairs similar to Steak and Ale, with rich colors and fancy schmancy fair. All of my books would be framed and hung on the wall and other author friends would also have their books on the wall (but only if they held a book signing during the day there). The vodka martini would be called instead, "Taryn's Tini".
Once people have feasted on the finest of food, steak, chicken, seafood, sushi and more...then there would be the option of retiring to the library to read, browse books etc. while having an after dinner brandy or cordial.
ADJOINED to the "Ghostwriter's Den would be a casual place totally separated called, "The Writer's Pub". It would be a short order food place with tap beers, drink specials with tv's in every corner with either news, sports or some other interesting show.
The Pub would also feature games such as poker every night, cards, bridge, checkers, chess and other games. A great place belly up and get a cold beer and great sandwich or salad.
Who would run this operation? Gordon Ramsey...

The COMPLETE Publishing Package
If you're anything like millions of people all over the globe, you're feeling the pangs of desire to write a novel. Whether it be memoirs, fiction, non-fiction or perhaps a children's book, it is that desire to put thought to paper and have it become a book that is available at all the major online book retailers. Am I right?
My company is offering a new type of service for those aspiring to be the next JK Rowling or John Grisham!
Imagine hiring one company to :
- Ghostwrite your novel
- Self-Publish the novel in your name
- Take care of all the details such as uploading the book to the publisher,
- Securing an ISBN #, uploading the book cover with a simple design, and taking care that Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com are carrying YOUR book on their websites.
- What about someone who will create a blog for you?
- Maintain posts on a monthly basis to create interest
- Write Press Releases for the book?
- Create a Book Trailer for You Tube
If you have ever had to do all of these duties yourself, you know exactly just how time consuming and frustrating it can be.
Toss the worries and frustration aside. I can do this for you!
Want to see some samples of my work?
Take a look at the last book I co-wrote with Alan Solomon:
Writing (or co-writing in this instance) of the Book
Submission to Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble
Setting up a Blog for the Book
The Mango Tree Cafe, Loi Kroh Road
Press Release
Book Trailer
No muss, no fuss! Need more information? Email me at TSim681157@aol.com .
You'll be glad you did.

The Ultimate Goal of this Ghostwriter
As I have attested to many times in blogs before, I absolutely LOVE what I do for a living. To me, there is nothing better than getting up in the morning and working on a book.
As a ghostwriter, you will have all types of writing jobs from school papers to short stories to e-books to novels. What is my favorite? No question, a Fiction novel. But, is there really a call for a Ghostwriter to write fiction novels on a full-time basis? God, I hope so.
Some of the clients that I am working for at the moment are even offering 1/2 writing credit to me on their Fictional works. Am I so enamored with being anonymous that I refuse? Heck, no. Whether my name is prominently displayed or not, the nitty gritty of the matter is: I want to write fiction, period.
Agents: Know of any publishing houses or established authors that need a good Fiction novel Ghostwriter? If so, I’m available.
Taryn Simpson is a fulltime ghostwriter with 3 novels and 2 screenplays to her credit along with numerous novels she has ghosted for her clients. To learn more about her Ghostwriting: www.Taryn-Simpson.blogspot.com
