by Ace Antonio Hall
In this Special Color Edition collection of poetry and short stories, Ace Antonio Hall manages to illuminate, so imaginatively, American captivity with the narratives, which are both political and romantic. The distorted images mirror the tone of many of his short stories and poems providing tasteful surrealism and eroticism, hence the Latin sub-title Spiritus asper (rough breathing). The color version is available for download only.
"Rich...in spirituality. Naked...truths about life, love, relationships, politics & the world. Sexy...musings for the naughty in all of us. Ace Antonio Hall's collection of short stories and poems IN MY EYES showcases the depth of his intellect and shear talent as a writer...AWESOME!!"
Loni Taylor, Radio Personality
"Omg, you are the bomb for that book...finally got to check it out and what did I see? THE BACKSPIN POEM!! Love you for that...that was really beautiful work!"
DJ Spinderella (from the pop iconic group Salt n' Pepa)
From Distorted Minds:
Alba opened her eyes slowly. The heat was unbearable. She could barely move. Two mangy, stinking dogs were licking her in the face. Jenny's phone rang again. Where was she? She tried to move again. Her arms were tied behind her back and her mouth was gagged. The last thing she remembered...It was coming back to her now...It was the ice cream. Right after she took two spoonfuls, she blacked out. The dogs licked her face again. Their tongues felt like wet sandpaper against her skin. She tried to scream. Jenny's phone rang again. It was coming from behind her. It was so dark. She could only see the dog's eyes...and the ground...

I have been enamored by the darker side of things since watching the Creature Features television program when I was eight years old. I knew the moment I saw The Creature from the Black Lagoon, Abbott and Costello Meets Frankenstein and Hitchcock’s Psycho that I wanted to write science fiction and pursued a BFA from Long Island University. The stories which seemed immovable from my thought process and have influenced me greatly are Parable of the Sower, Neuromancer, The Stand, Night of The Living Dead and every episode from the Twilight Zone series. Believe it or not, Dead World Living (my first manuscript/novel) was influenced by the very first novel I read as a ten year old boy, Escape From Witch Mountain by Alexander Key; talk about how important first impressions are.
"If it weren't for Alfred Hitchcock, Rod Serling, George Romero and Stephen King, I simply would not exist-I would only tolerate."

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.

The blessings we ask for this season
Aren't the kind that come wrapped with a bow;
We're asking for gifts from the heart,
Ones we need and never outgrow.
May we see in these bright decorations
With their colors and lights all aglow,
The beauty and wonder of life
That God's world was created to show.
Let the peace and goodwill of this season
Be feelings that we can extend
Far into the following year
To our neighbors, our family, and friends.
Most of all, may we always remember
To open our hearts every day and share all the love and the joy
In a special and meaningful way.

I. Respect the Art
a. Always Be On-Time to Class/Gigs
b. Study Your Craft
i. Research who’s who and what’s what
ii. Repetition until innately instinctual
iii. Investing your time in the art (build a library of acting books or DVDs for constant review and study, take classes, teach workshops)
II. Act the Part
a. Take Advantage of Every Opportunity to Shine
b. Always Be Prepared to Market Yourself
c. Learn when to be humble and when to be cocky (be careful that humility and shyness don’t prevent you from using initiative)
III. Be Proactive
a. Don’t Depend on One Person or One Thing for Your Success
b. Make your Manager, Agent, and Your Teacher Work (Be Persistent, Yet Patient)
c. Cover All Bases (Conditions set you up to fail-set yourself up to succeed)
i. Make Tentative Back-Up Plans for Appointments
ii. Call Ahead of Time to Confirm Appointments
iii. Provide Solutions or Suggestions that will Satisfy Your Daily Goals or Daily Agenda (if someone tries to cancel or post-pone, suggest a later time for that day if possible)
IV. Teach Yourself How to Always Find Your “Peace Spot”
a. Learn how to Love and Accept Who You Are by self-affirmations, positive verbalizing and confident self-thoughts
b. Try to Center Yourself around Positive Entities (people, books, thoughts, and/or places)
c. Give Yourself a Monthly Dose of Positive Vibrations (yoga class, read a spiritual/motivational book, view “The Secret”, meditate, hike, take a relaxing swim, whatever creates an aura of universal positive energy-DO THIS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH)
V. Get a Flexible Job
a. Prioritize (remember your goals but develop your job skills so that you can make steady money)
b. Be a Go-Getter for unless you are really lucky or you hang out at the casting couch, you’ll need to have some type of income-JUST KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE (Those that have been in the game for a long time all share a commonality with persistence, work ethic, and disappointments-MOST PEOPLE DON’T FAIL-THEY GIVE UP)
c. Never act like your agent owes you a favor for calling you for a gig, whether principle or background work-BE PROFESSIONAL, TACTFUL and POSITIVE, whether you want to do the gig or not
d. Learn a Few Monologues: comedic and dramatic
e. Always Be on Time for auditions, never leave a set without notifying your agent, and/or the AD
f. No One Will Represent You-The Product-Better than You, Sell Yourself, Show Your Personality, But Keep Your Professionalism at All Times (Never Let Your Guard Down…if you respect the Art, the Art will respect you)
g. If You Are Not Confident, Act Confident (The fruits of your labor will not fall far from the tree of your preparedness. Stay rooted with confidence and everyone will bite.)
I look forward to checking out your works as well.
Have a great day,
Michelle
