Great Reads & Interesting Opportunities
A milestone has been reached. Awards have now been given to me for a book, film, screenplay, and a poem. All of the forms of writing I have pursued over the past twelve years. As a non-competitive person, I now retire from the world of submitting to festivals. One could say the goal has been reached, except I’m still a million dollars shy of a million dollars, but most writers are. Now on to creating interesting quilts, making it through life with a smile, and continuing to sing and dance up a storm. I'll still help anyone who wants to create a book with Blazing Star Books.
This last award is for the poem "The Blue Buffalo" which was inspired by the dream which became a painting by Patty Sjolin.

Before the USA was thrust into World War II, Betty Nugen was a farm girl in the mountains of West Virginia. When Congress created the WAC—the Women’s Army Corp—she knew that was where she should be. Serving her country.
Elaine Fields Smith gathered information from memories of her mother, Betty, from family stories and historical facts to create this story of a young woman who found a new life away from the only home she ever had known.
Before Betty passed away, Elaine had a question: “Why did you join the WAC? Was it to get off the mountain?” Her answer was as solid as a rock. “Certainly not. It just seemed to be the right thing to do at the time.” That may be true, but the WAC did get her off that mountain and into the arms of the man she would love forever.

Gunfire. Murder. Terrifying emotions flood Alan Meyer’s psyche after he becomes involved with a captain in a major Mexican drug cartel. Rico Coronado is a ruthless psychopath who entices customers and women with his charms, then uses them as is necessary to reach his goal: more money, more drugs, and more power.
Alan’s nightmare begins when a routine appointment becomes a scene of cold blooded murder in March 1988. Witnessing Coronado’s kidnapping of a woman and child and killing of an innocent bystander ensnares Alan into a world he never knew existed. Taking refuge in the drugs, he fears for his and his family’s lives and makes the worst possible move—afraid to do anything—he obeys Coronado’s orders.
The unwarranted and ruthless murder of three more people propels Alan deeper into the world of crime. Nightmares haunt his sleep. Fear of capture fills his days. After he is arrested, he sets forth an effort toward atonement by telling the FBI the entire story. His subsequent incarceration for over twenty years brings nightmares of punishment for what he had done. A tortured soul, he must find his own kind of peace within the prison walls.
This was the story found in the actual court transcript of the 1991 Capital Murder trial of Genero Camacho, Jr. Character names were changed to protect the identities of those who wished to remain anonymous, yet the actual testimony they gave during that trial is the basis for “One Wrong Move.” The circumstances and descriptions of the crimes are completely fact based where characterizations, backgrounds and dialog are the tools Elaine Fields Smith used to create this hair raising and disturbing tale.
