Subject: INTRO: Ray Alex Carter Date: Mon, 28 Oct 1996 09:49:25 -0500 Greetings, My name is Ray (Alex) Carter. I am a writer living in Sarasota, Florida and hoping to move to the mountains of North Carolina in the near future. I have just finished "The Dragon Club," a suspense/thriller. Sections are now being reviewed by agents as well as one (YEAH> mass market publisher. Currently, I am finishing "Queen of Hearts," a detective novel featuring Jack Kuger, who, while trying to get published as a writer, takes up the detective business on Florida's west coast.(NOT biographical) Although he is earning a poor wage, he is gathering great material for his writing. In nonfiction I have been published in Sierra, Popular Science, Lotto World, Florida Living, Security Management, Warehouse Management, Credit & Collection Newsletter, West Coast Woman and others. I have also written a feature story or sales column monthly for the past three years for Water Technology Magazine. I am especially interested in talking with anyone who lives in the western part of North Carolina. West of Charlotte. Anywhere in the Blueridge from the Virginia line (Piney Creek-Sparta) to the Georgia line (Franklin). I'm interested in talking to any writer no matter where they live, but North Carolina is my destination. Until then, I remain, ALEX email: rcarter@virtu.sar.usf.edu
