Quote Freely From The Article – Leave The Pseudonym Alone

New Mexico Business Weekly has published an article which relates how Albuquerque has gained recognition as the number one place to shoot movies AND live.  According to this article, the magazine MovieMaker has heaped praise on Albuquerque, naming several areas and facilities which offer the ultimate for moving making.

I’m sure everyone is serious with their praise, but it does come when some are suggesting that incentives should be reduced, or taken away altogether for the movie industry. When you’re are counting pennies, as New Mexico lawmakers are, a dollar saved can come as a welcome sight.

Why I Began Writing…

By Marie Claire Peck

I have always identified with people that are often overlooked.  Drawing on my own experiences with abuse, I began writing fictional stories with a touch of realism in them, with the hope that someone will read my books and realize that they are not alone.

I began writing in 2007 after a strange dream.  I dreamt that words were running through my head.  When I awoke, I felt compelled to sit at the computer.  The words came as fast as I could type.  They still come when I least expect them.

New ideas are still forthcoming.  I haven’t quit writing yet!

A portion of the proceeds from these sales go to Albuquerque Christian Children’s Home and the Haiti Relief Fund through the Red Cross.
