Purpose of Masqerade

(To tell every a story of financial instability)

Hello and welcome to another blog session. 

First of all I like to apologize for missing Monday and Friday blog session. I had a string appointments was not able t get to a computer. However, I am back, live, and kicking. 

Okay the last time I left off the last blog session was with the topic of why I written Masquerade. I know by the cover there are a lot of speculations that my story is just another over sexualized story. I admit the story has some it's moment of sexual decadence; however, there is more to the story than that. One of the major struggles that the main characters have in the story is financial instability. 

Living in the United States the poverty and the unemployment rate is high. For example; college graduates (like myself) have a hard time finding stable employment in their respected career study. A lot of us are left to take up jobs that are minimum wage which here in the Michigan is $7.45. Now if when you try support yourself trying to buy food, rent, and other necessary utilities is nearly impossible. 

Some people may find positive ways make due; however, there are other people who backs are against the wall and have no other way out but do something illegal and immoral. I am not condoning illegal or immoral activity but we must understand a lot of people have no other presented options. 

I think this book is one of many great ways for how men and women handle their financial struggles  positive and in negative form.

The source of inspiration for Masquerade

MASQUERADE's SOURCE OF INSPIRATION

Anouncements: Masquerade is now available for Kindle. Visit the link.http://www.amazon.com/Masquerade-Dione-Robinson-ebook/dp/B00KHBEGS4/ref=sr_1_1_bnp_1_kin?ie=UTF8&qid=1402662523&sr=8-1&keywords=Dione+Robinson

Hello fellow readers. I am here with you to deliver another fun and interesting blog. This blog will discuss my inspiration for Masquerade. 

Well the inspiration story came to me in the summer of 2012 (Not long ago huh!). I was listening to one of my favorite music project "Enigma!" I was extremely board so my only escape of entertainment was music and my wild vivid imagination. So here it is I am stuck in a hot, very tiny guard booth playing Enigma through my portable speakers. I can remember the combination of songs from this group further implanted me into my creative mental state. These songs were: Dancing with Mephisto, Hello and Welcome, TNT for the Brain, I love you, I kill you, and last Gravity of love. 

Gravity of Love was the major song catalyst for Masquerade because they have music video  The music video actual had the idea for me to create something with a Masquerade theme.

After the songs on my the playlist ended on my Android phone the rest was history. The concept of the story I wanted to focus not just on the sexual aspect of the story; but more the reason why the main characters chosen the paths while straddling the fence of elegance, morality, and eroticism.

Why is the story Masquerade needs to be told?

WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING A NEW AUTHOR

WHAT IT'S LIKE BEING A NEW AUTHOR

Finally I would like to say that I am very proud of myself after a very long journey, I was able to publish my book after years of work. You can buy a copy of Masquerade at Amazon.com. 

So what's it like being a new author on the scene. Well there are many words: Over joyed, sense of accomplishment, inspired, anxious, and the list goes on.

I do feel a sense of nervousness because this the first time I ever did something this big in my life (besides graduating from college with a Masters). Even though I produced short films for youtube; publishing a book is far more difficult. However the film was difficult a first but have gotten easier. So as I continue to write other books, the process will become easier. 

Publishing my first book is also a stepping stone in many ways. For one, this is only the first process in producing an actual fillm.

Second, it is a great resume builder. If I could encourage anybody to write, do so. You do not have to have a thousand page manuscript, but if you can write a 150 page manuscript (8.5 x 11) and reformatted to 6 x 9; you will have close to 200 page book (more or less). By publishing a book and putting that info on your resume will tell people that your determined, have the concentration, and the focused.  

Anyway stay tuned for the next blog. How did I get my inspiration for "Masquerade."
