The first part of my mission is to make you laugh.
I worked deep into the night last night finishing the updated version of Dancing During the Storm. You are going to love it. I know. I love it. I literally had to cut the last story off because I was running out of space. I had been promising this update for a year and I finally did it! It is so worth it!
I will be honest writing for me is like a relationship. Some days it is good and I love it more than anything, other days, I quit it and promise never to return. If it were a marriage, I would have divorced it a dozen times. Of course, we would get back together and promise to do right.
The thing that always brings me back is the story. I tell God I am not doing this anymore. I am finished, done. God gives me a story so good I can’t wait to put it on paper.
I added three new stories to the book and took two stories away. Dancing During the Storm is a collection of short stories. These are stories I have written over the course of my life. the first story I added is about justice or what is perceived as justice. Another is about the state of women and the third one was my first attempt to write from the point of view of a man.
As you read my work, I am sure you wonder where does this come from, and only the grace of God knows. He inspires me and takes me step by step through the process.
During the month of September I will give you some insight into why I do what I do. I will tell you some stories. You may even learn some things. This year I will also share some of the influencers in my life. Looking forward to telling you the story of me.
and time for the book event. There will be more videos, writing tips and contests. I really would like for one of these books to become an international bestseller and you can help me get there. I have lots of ideas!
I will introduce you to some new authors and their books. I will even raffle off one of their books.
I will introduce you to UPP Creative Media’s mission. Why I do what I do. It. Will. Be. Fun

Updated Dancing During the Storm
I have added two knew stories to Dancing
Dancing During the Storm is a collection of stories from projects that I have written over the years. They represent a desire to praise God despite the storms in my life. As the saying goes, you are going into a storm, in the middle of a storm or coming out of a storm. All of these stories tell of people who enjoy the life that God has given them and live it to the fullest. Each character has a storm in their life which they are going into, in the midst of, or coming out of.
The first story is about the first man to ever encounter a storm and the impact on his life.
The second story is about a court case that changed the lives of three of the women involved. A Victim. A Juror. A Judge. The impact of the trial changed their thinking, yet prepared them for all that life threw at them.
The third story is a science fiction tale of the journey of a young woman who is searching for peace and quiet after spending the last two years on a planet that had to resemble hell. As she emerges from the storms of her life, she sees that things are not an easy as she thought they would be.
The fourth and final story is science fiction that deals with a world that had a major catastrophe and the inhabitants attempt to put their world back together again. In a decreased populated world, city states begin to form new governments. Sent on a mission to get the new Law Boss, a young woman found more changed in her world than she knew. It looked like she would have to fight her way back home.
Enjoy these fun, light hearted stories, but hear the underlying intent.
This update should be available by August 2017.
A new movie project that will be a short film, about 30 minutes. I wanted to do a project that talks about the importance of women’s rights but in a fun theatrical way that will impact your life more than some preachy documentary. I am going to stretch myself on this one.
14 to Fate
With war pending, two women meet to decide the fate of all women, treason or slavery. As their husbands prepare for a world war, these women secretly talk about where women will fit in the new outcome of this war.
In a time when women’s rights hit all-time low, with women being lower than slaves. Gilda, wife of the President of the 1st side of the planet, wanted a movement to create rights making women equal to men. Hythica, wife of the Prime Minister of the 2nd side of the planet, was willing to negotiate item by item to secure women’s rights, but peace also. In the midst of it all, allies and enemies set to expose their plans and topple the movement. Confined, these women realize the movement to free women is bigger and stronger than the both of them, but would it be enough?
We are just in the process of raising funds for this movie. Production date is TBD.
Look for the links on Indiegogo and Kickstarter to support this movie.
Welcome to 2017. It is going to be a great year. We are starting the new year with a new look. We will incorporate some new stuff into some of our old which will make for a fun year. You can keep up with us here or on Facebook.
