Staying Warm?

It's brutally cold outside for many of you, but my mind is on the Summer of 2014 when THE OMEGA PROJECT will debut in mass market paperback (June), followed by the paperback debut of DOG TRAINING THE AMERICAN MALE (July, penned under L.A. Knight), followed in August during Shark Week 2014 and the hardcover release of SHARKMAN. I just finished LOCH-II, VOSTOK and we'll be taking it out to publishers this week. And yes, I've begun writing MEG 5; NIGHTSTALKERS, anticipating a summer 2015 MEG movie (though nothing official has been announced. Finally, I just started a new natural nutritional protocol for treating my Parkinson's Disease which I'll report on in March - along with a (fingers crossed) movie update.

As always, I want to thank you for reading my novels and supporting my work. YOU keep ME going.    

 

Have a healthy, safe, prosperous and joyous 2014.

--Steve Alten

Was your 2014 goal to be a published author?
Two spots just opened up this month in my WRITING COACH PROGRAM. This is for storytellers who have always dreamed of being published (not self-published -- the real deal). In the last eight years, I've selected only 17 clients into the program. Cost of the program is $3,950, (REG. $4750). Seventeen years ago I paid $6,000 for a similar service and ended up with my first published title -- MEG). The fee commits me to working with you from start to finish, plus assisting in getting the final manuscript to an agent/publisher.

If you think you have what it takes...
STEP 1: E-MAIL me a synopsis of your story at [email protected]
STEP 2: I will offer feedback (free). If I see potential, I will arrange a phone call where we brainstorm the idea. These calls are always exciting as they flesh out the idea (no charge).
STEP 3: If we both agree to move forward, I send you a commitment letter that commits my services to your project.

First come first selected basis, spots open at random.


PLEASE DON'T GO THRU THE PROCESS IF YOU CANNOT PAY THE REDUCED FEE. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY.

Jokes of the Month
A man was at a bar when he was approached by a very attractive woman. She was slightly older at 60 years but she was pretty hot. They enjoyed a drink and a close dance, when she shocked him by asking if he had any interest in a mother-daughter m�nage � trois." The mother was hot at 60, so he could only imagine what the daughter was like, He happily agreed and followed her home. Upon entering her house, the man grew excited with anticipation for a sexual fantasy come true when the woman yelled upstairs, "Hey, Ma, come on down, I have a surprise for you!"

Recipe of the Month: Hawaiian Chicken Wings - for a sweet Super Bowl

Ingredients:     

 

4 cups canola oil for deep frying

 

3 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings cut in half at joint
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 cup cornstarch
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup pineapple juice
1/4 cup ketchup
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 green onions, thinly sliced

 
PREPARATION:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Heat oil in deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Toss chicken wings with garlic salt, and set aside for 10 minutes. Place cornstarch in a large plastic bag; toss the wings, a few at a time until coated. Shake off excess cornstarch, then dip into beaten egg. Shake wings in cornstarch again, then fry until golden brown in deep fryer. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Stir together vinegar, pineapple juice, ketchup, honey, and soy sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Once the sauce comes to a simmer, place the chicken wings in a bowl, pour all but 1/2 cup of the sauce over top, and toss to coat. Reserve remaining sauce for basting. Place chicken wings on prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, then baste with remaining sauce, turn, and bake for an additional 20 minutes. To serve, place wings on serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions
