Great Novel Writing

Hello faithful readers,

I am happy to report to you all that the novels Fault Line and Levels are both being looked at by literary agents and publishers. Both stories are action packed with plenty of interesting plot twists.

Bill is the main character in the story Fault Line.  When a man is about to execute a woman in the middle of Main street in his hometown he has to intervene, with a little help from his Army buddies.  The soldiers team up with local law enforcement and Federal Agents who just happen to be in town conducting surveillance on the gang that has infiltrated this small Texas town. The woman they save, Isabella is a woman with a past. Bill doesn't buy her story that she was just passing through town when the crazy guy targeted her. Bill knows the look of someone that is used to watching their back. There is more to Isabella than meets the eye. Not that she is hard on the eyes. She is stunning and there is definitely an attraction between her and Bill. Central to the story is a lonely little girl Bill sees looking from a window. This exciting story races to its conclusion as a hurricane barrels down on them.

Level's is a tale of a different flavor. It is also full of action and plot twists so good you might strain something. It has a taste of the paranormal with some alternate realities thrown in just for fun. Jake and his dad Derek are shopping for soccer cleats in Wentley's Department store in downtown Richmond Virginia, they left his mom at the cafe' taking care of her business call. Elevators are interesting. When you board them you are doing so as an act of faith. You are placing your faith in arriving where you intend to go. Sometimes it doesn't work out quite as planned. Sometimes, if you look real close, you will see that there are differences. Sometimes you don't have to look hard at all to see the differences. Jake comes to realize that it is him and not the elevator that is making him cross over to these alternate realities. Along the way, a small team forms.  Each member has their unique abilities. They will need to use them all to get to where they need to be. All Jake wants to do is to get back to his Mom and his own reality.

I would love to hear from you.

All the best,

TL Scott

Looking for Beta Readers Fiction Novel

Hello fellow readers,

I have GREAT news!  The novels Fault Line and Levels are both finished, well to this point anyway.

I am looking for beta readers.  I need readers like you, from my target audience who are able and willing to give constructive feedback to further refine these stories.  I want these stories to be the best they can possibly be.  Your feedback could make the difference.  There's also the added benefit to you that you get to read the story first.

Fault Line is a story about a soldier, Bill, that has gone home to his small town in Texas with his Army buddies, to attend his little sister's wedding.  They were looking forward to getting some rest and relaxation away from war.  Unfortunately, war has found them here, on the streets of small town America.  A man has a woman down on her knees in the middle of Main street.   When he brings the muzzle down, pointing it just inches from her beautiful face, the soldiers are forced to take action.  This fast paced novel has the soldiers team up with local law enforcement and some federal agents who are in town as well, to eradicate this gang that has invaded.  They couldn't have become so embedded without help, help from some one in a position of power, someone that is at fault and has definitely crossed the line, the Fault Line.

The other story, Levels, takes place in a department store.  Jake and his dad are there to buy Jake a pair of soccer cleats.  The day takes a turn when they board the elevator.  When you board an elevator you do so as an act of faith.  You have faith that when the doors open again you will be where you intended to be.  Sometimes it just doesn't work that way.  Sometimes you discover that things are not the same, they are different somehow.  The veil between our reality and what lies beyond is thin.  Jake and his dad, Derek, team up with other passengers they meet along their journey.  Each member of the group has a special strength, a strength the team needs to get through this.  All Jake wants to do is to figure this, whatever this was, and get back to his mom.

Okay, so let me know which one you are interested in reading in the comments section.  I look forward to talking with you and hearing what you think.

TL Scott Novel Update

Hello dear readers,

It has been a long time since my last post and for that I truly apologize.  There is more to it than being busy with summer, although I must admit it has been fun.  I have been working on a new novel.  The title is Levels.

When you get onto an elevator you do so in faith.  You expect that when the doors open you will be where you planned on going.  Sometimes that isn't so.  What if things were different?  What if reality had shifted?  Jake and his dad Derek find themselves in this shifting situation.  They find that their reality has many levels.  All Jake wants to do is find his way back to his reality and get back to his mom.  They are not alone in their travels.  These strangers form a bond as they make their way through the different levels.

I have also been working on the final edits for the story Fault Line.  I decided that it needed more texture, more growth before I finished with it.  I have to admit that I got swept away with Levels and have not been paying enough attention to finishing up Fault Line.  For those of you that have been waiting on its release, I promise it is coming along.

I will be sending both stories out to publishers and agents soon.

I will be in touch soon with more updates.  Until then happy travels.
