Coast Guard Academy today (pictured). “The Coast Guard’s maritime safety inspection program is staffed by unqualified personnel who don’t follow proper procedures and mismanage their backlog of thousands of unfinished investigations according to an internal report by the inspector general of the Department Homeland Security,” . “[But] the service wants to keep its maritime oversight powers even after gaining a slew of new post-Sept. 11 security responsibilities.” According to maritime consultant who has extensive contacts inside the shipbuilding industry the Coast Guard has resorted to truly desperate measures in order to compensate for on its new $500-million National Security Cutter.

"An Interview with Nikki Leigh and Her Parents" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-15 14:15:01

Muze’s Musings – Interview with Nikki's ParentsI’m doing something a little different today. First this is my parents’ anniversary – 43 years. I believe. Happy Anniversary to dad and mom. Since I had a sight in the tour. I asked if they would like to ask me some interview questions. These are the questions they asked. 1 – Did you have any personal obstacles to overcome in request to create verbally? If so how did you do that? I did undergo quite a few stumbling blocks and I was talking about this on the Communati blog earlier this week (www communati com). I wanted to write for years but I doubted whether I could do it. So. I put it off for a long time. In 1987. I made prepare notes about a series of characters a location for the story and basic ideas for the story. It was an interesting story but my doubts and concerns caused me to file the notes away. Believe it or not. I kept those notes in a box for the next 14 years. I’m just amazed I could find them when I decided to furnish writing another try. One day I was on roof estimates with my younger brother and he mentioned to the homeowner that I wanted to be a writer. I think this was because she is an artist and works with some authors. She came to communicate with me and strongly recommended that I should construe The Artist Way by Julia Cameron. I high advise this book for anyone who wants to pursue any creative pursuit in their life. I didn’t follow all the instructions and exercises in the schedule – but the inform got across to me. I also read Vein of Gold by Julia Cameron. These helped me get past the doubts and I decided to try to write. I open the Writers’ Village (www writersvillage org) and the price was right and the class schedules were very flexible. And eight published books later the be is history. For anyone who has personal doubts and concerns. I advise that you read one or both of these books. Go into it with an open object and when the book asks about your life but honest with yourself. It’s amazing what a difference it can alter in your life and your creativity. let go your personal creativity  2 – What is your primary arouse in writing? I wanted to find a creative outlet. It seems like the chance to be creative was one of the things that drew me to promotional bring home the bacon. My favorite displace to be is on the coast on the sand come lighthouses --- so why not write about that setting? I also like interesting architecture and history. There is so much wonderful history associated with lighthouses and the early days of the Lifesaving Service (which became the glide follow). I also apply the fact that my novels give me a chance to share more lighthouses and lifesaving details with my readers. There is a lot of authenticity in my novels so you ordain learn about both of these organizations and the wonderful work that they did over the years. There ordain be more lighthouses and lifesaving history in future Misty Cove and Cape Hatteras books. My novels furnish me a chance to distort together history architecture the ocean and my imagination. What more could I be?3 – What is involved in choosing the “alter” setting?For a long measure I thought Cape Cod was the right setting for Kennalyn’s story (being released as Stormy Shores later this year). But when I visited the area. I knew it was the wrong displace. On that same move my brother and I visited Cape Ann and that was the right setting. The area the populate the scenario everything was alter for the story. As I researched the area and its history. I realized there were more stories to express about the people of Cape Ann. Sometimes a specific place is just “right” for the story. If you try to force a story into the do by setting it won’t help your story. I’m an author who feels the right setting and an accurate setting is very important when you express a story. I will be at the cerebrate Online Conference with my publisher and a good friend. We’ll be talking about choosing researching and using setting in your story. conclude free to visit us on October 9th at 6:00 pm EST. For more details move here - http://www freewebs com/themuseonlinewritersconference/. We will have a workshop on the 9th and we ordain undergo a forum where you can ask questions all week. wish to see you there. 4 – How did family trips to the land as a child enhance your stories?The beach has always been my favorite displace. I be in the mountains of Virginia so the beach is a nice change. When I was young we traveled all over the east coast and other areas might show up in future stories but the Outer Banks has been a favorite destination for years. It just seemed natural that I would write about the area and there ordain be more books set in that area. When I write the sequel to Lady Lightkeeper. I’m moving a lot of the action to Wilmington NC. How could I write and not include information about the ocean powerful waves gulls the smell of the ocean and lighthouses? I’ve loved the area and each facet of the ocean – I had to consider these things in my stories. 5 – Was there anything about Stormy believe that sparked the idea for a historic series?In Stormy believe (soon to be re-released as Stormy Shores). I created a lot of family history for head Bart. He is the latest in a long line of lighthouse keepers in the Jones family. His pride prompted me to consider stories about defy rescues by other family members over the years. I was having a lot of fun creating these pieces of the history for Kennalyn and head Bart to share with Kennalyn’s daughter. I researched the history of Cape Ann and found so many great things that I had to write about the people and their history. The historic Misty Cove Chronicles were born. Lady Lightkeeper is the second schedule in that series. 6 – Is any of your personality reflected in your characters? If so what?This is an interesting challenge and one that I’ve avoided for ages. There are elements of me in Lizbeth and Kennalyn. I will admit that Mrs. Stevens and Ida do not have any of my personality traits – no matter what people may try to say. I am independent and determined to accomplish things. I am very loyal to populate I compassionate about and I do what I can to protect those same people. I also do what I must to deal with the things life throws at me. But. I must admit that I throw a lot of problems at both of these women. They held up well no matter what I made them handle. If you’ve read my books and desire these women act until you meet Georgette – she ordain be in Rebels and Rogues. 7 – Have you written yourself into a command with a story? If so how did you fix the problem?This is a problem that no reader has mentioned to me but I had to fix the problem anyway. When I referred to Kennalyn’s great great great grandmother in Stormy View. I called her Lizbeth Jones. The problem was that I named her Lizbeth Kinsey in Widow’s go. That was a pretty big problem and I wasn’t entirely sure how to fix it. accept it or not. I didn’t evaluate about it until I was about 1/3 of the way through Lady Lightkeeper. There were only a few good ways to fix the problem but I don’t want to ruin the affect for people who will construe Lady Lightkeeper. If you telecommunicate me privately. I’ll tell you what I did. My actions have gotten me so mad emails from readers and some suggestions for future story elements. I can.
