It's NanoWrimo time again!

          Just a quick note to let everyone know that I am participating in NanoWrimo! In case you're wondering, it stands for: National Novel Writing Month. I need to write a 50,000 word novel and I have 30 days to do it.
I will be busy all through November working on my novel.

          My story is titled, 'Manny the Guard'. Here is a quick synopsis of my novel...
                                               


           Manny's a guard for Carlos Manafred who is into everything illegal.  Manny ends up with the least likely of jobs; babysitting the drug lords girlfriend, Destina. She is the kindest person Manny has ever known, and the violence she endures at the hands of Carlos weighs heavily on his mind.

 It's during this time that Manny reflects back on his troubled life. Starting with his abusive mother, the tragic death of his younger brother and the years spent living in foster homes and youth authorities. He dwells on his past and the crimes that led him to where he is today.

At the age of forty eight, he's tired of being a mobster. His days are numbered living this lifestyle and he wants out. Being around Destina has shown him that good people really do exist. He decides to take a risk and begin doing what is right. Starting with helping Destina escape and then shutting down Carlos and all his drug operations, but doing so could cost him his life.



Thanks for stopping by, let me know what you think of the synopsis. =)
