Like most writers, I like to be a little nosy about people I'm interested in: cat or dog person, tea or coffee, fun stuff (nothing weird or stalker-ish). For everyone who's just a little bit curious about me, (blushes...)
I write whatever moves me. I don't like to be boxed into one genre, whether it's middle grade, young, new or adult novels, sci fi, contemporary, historical, paranormal, romance or non-fiction, novels, poetry, short stories, or articles. I've written all of the above, and refuse to limit myself.
When I started this journey, I co-authored the first 3 books, the fourth and fifth were anthologies I contributed a story to, and now I'm solo. I have several Indie books: the Evolution Revolution series (currently 3 books, but I plan to add more), and I have continued the Sirenz series, taking it in a new direction. Each path taught me valuable lessons. I try to share those lessons with fellow writers at the NJ Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) numerous conferences and workshops, at book festivals, library events, colleges, National Novel Writing Month workshops and casual get-togethers.
On the personal side, I love animals but am too busy and lazy to take care of a dog, so I'm a cat person. (And most writers are cat people. It's that whole- leave me alone until I want your company- thing.)
My FAVE drink is chai lattes, with a splurge of vanilla. I use the Starbucks premixed stuff, but doctor it up because I can't find a Starbucks anywhere except in Bethlehem, PA, that makes as good a chai.
And stick around. I'm working on new stuff all the time.

Hi Char.
ReplyDeleteI think you might enjoy my newly (self) published YA fiction novel, during your next review cycle. My book, Perfect Imperfection, centers around the adventures of a not-too-smart, over-weight young man with a receding hairline who stumbles onto and into a secret benevolent society of scientists, called Perfect Imperfection or PI. With assistance PI’s accelerated learning and artificial intelligence technologies, Billings trains to become a virtual secret agent that helps humanity in the face of accelerating scientific, ecological and social evolution. The antagonist, Blackbeard, an elite black hat hacker, employs cutting-edge tech to land the biggest score of his career. An epic virtual game of cat and mouse ensues, with everything in the balance.
I've tried to give hope to the reader despite the path the world is on, that there is a way to save us. The point behind the story is to show we can overcome the trivialness of our imperfections, be they physical, social, intelligence or economic. I will donate all profits of the book to causes that are consistent the book’s key themes.
By way of introduction, my name is S. E. Gould, and I’m a recovering software entrepreneur and corporate finance executive, looking to spend the best part of my life writing fiction that may help inspire the world to choose a better path.
If you are interested in reviewing, I am happy to send you a paperback version. Lastly, if you want an interview or run a giveaway for your followers, I can help you out there as well. If you are on a reviewing pause, please keep me in mind when you restart. I appreciate your consideration.
Regards,
S. E. Gould

Sorry... I don't do reviews because it's a tricky business if I don't like a book. But I wish you all the best!
