“Never Trust a Stranger” by Weslynn McCallister, writing as Jamie Cortland

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

After returning from the Sleuth Fest, I discovered that I had received a contract for publication from a traditional publisher for my new suspense novel, “Never Trust a Stranger!”

The novel is about a handsome charismatic man in his late twenties with a Borderline Personality Disorder who develops an attachment to a beautiful and wealthy woman whose husband has just been reported missing in an airline crash.

When he is hired as her gardener and maintenance man, he mistakes her friendly attitude for attraction and vows to destroy anyone he believes is in his way of possessing her body, mind, and spirit.

This novel will be released in late 2010 or 2111. You will want to pre-order this one. I’ll keep you advised on its progress of publication. 

 I promise you, when you read “Never Trust a Stranger,”  you will fine it every bit as suspenseful as “Skin Deep.”

Success

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

Many people have asked me if I consider myself a success.

Most everyone has a special talent in something that they excell in. Those of with high ambitions are always trying to achieve the next level. For a writer, he or she may consider herself a success simply to complete the manuscript of her dreams; another may wish to be published by the best of the New York publishers. But the truth is, success goes far beyond a box office hit, a best selling novel, or a position as a CEO.

Elbert Hubbard believes that “He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much.”

I’m inclined to agree with Mr. Hubbard. So, my answer is, yes, I consider myself to be a success.
