MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I want to thank everyone that visits this page.

I have some good news: I am done with the first draft and first revisions of PARADE SEASON.

Now begin the second and third (final) revisions. Things should start moving pretty fast!

It is most certainly going to be a very MERRY CHRISTMAS.

If I do not talk to you between now and then please know you are in my thoughts.

Thank you for your continued support,
David

Hello.
Here I am again. Checking in and I do hope you are in good health.
Writing, I am happy to report, is well underway and looking better than ever. It seems that I have regained my writing ambition. That's a very good thing.

The story is coming along and the end is in sight. It is like a light at the end of a long and very curvy tunnel.

I will keep this brief. I just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you.

Have a great rest of September and talk to you soon (very soon).

As always, I Thank You,
-Dave

August 2015 (where has Summer gone?)

Hello,
I know it has been another long while since I last posted. I am still thinking about you and I do appreciate you taking the time to visit my blog.

I am still working on PARADE SEASON. It is taking a little longer than I anticipated to finish but that's alright I am liking what is going on with the story. I hope you will like it.

Right now, in the story we are halfway through parade season and our main characters are busy marching, staying sober, not partying too much and mentoring the young soldiers. However, (as always) in the background looms the constant specter that is the Soviets and their way of doing business.

I will be posting an excerpt in my next post. In the meantime, I sure would love to hear from you. Please leave a comment or drop me an email at dave@daveguerra.com

Thank you,
David

A June 2015 Update

Greetings,
Thank you for stopping by. I hope your Spring is going great. In a few days Summer will be upon us. That means more time spent outdoors and less time writing. That's acceptable as that is what the summer season is for.

However, here in South Texas, it might not be as much a time for being outside as it is a time for just relaxing, no matter where we are.

A little bit about where I am in the world. I am on the 26th Parallel (26 degrees north of the equator). If you are not too sure where the 26th parallel is, well it cuts through Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iran, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Burma, China, Mexico, U.S., and the Bahamas.

The 26th Parallel cuts right through some of the hot beds in modern geopolitics. You know that gives me an idea. The entire 26th Parallel is ripe for a new story.  What do you think?

Let me know.

Thanks for stopping by.

April 2015 / Abril 2015 / Avril 2015 / Aпреля 2015

Here we are again. Hope the month of April has been good to you.

It has been a rainy month here and that usually means plenty of time to do plenty of writing. However, that has not been the case. This month has not been a banner month for writing. Don't worry, I am still writing, I am not where I would like to be but I am still chugging along with PARADE SEASON.

The first draft is about halfway complete but the June 2015 release is not looking like it is going to happen. However, a summer 2015 release is still doable, provided I get off my back side and get to writing. Then again, I sit on my back side when I write. Let me re-phrase this, I need to get on my back side and get to writing.

The story is still on track it is just there have been too many distractions. I better stop before I start giving you and myself excuses.



As always, I thank you for your time.
David

P.S. Drop me an email I sure would like to hear from you,

March 2015

Greetings Everyone!
I do hope you are doing well!

Things here have been go, go, go since the middle of January. I looked at the calendar and noticed that I have not written to you since the end of January.

Just to bring you up-to-date.
I have been working on the first draft of PARADE SEASON. I should be done with that sometime in April, then the re-write and revisions begin.

Also, I have started working on the outline for the next book. I am not committing too much time to the outline. I am working on the outline only when I need a break from writing Parade Season.

I have a request for everyone: If you have any photos taken inside the famous East Berlin dining establishment "Restaurant Moskau" and want to share them (for possible inclusion in the book) please let me know.

Thank you
-David Guerra

PARADE SEASON (Update #3)

Hello.
Want to give you a quick update on PARADE SEASON.

Writing is on track well for the most part. Don't get me wrong I am still writing but I do believe that my two month hiatus from writing has taken its toll on me. However, it has not gotten the better of me. I feel that I can overcome this writing slowdown I am currently experiencing.

Moving on. If you remember in book #1 "DOUGHBOY CITY" the cover image of Doughboy City was graciously allowed to be used by my good friend Charles R. Sledge (author of The Batter's Out (Baseball Training Manual): How to Play Defense: For Parents, Coaches, and Kids).

Now I am calling out to everyone that has an image of Platz des 4.Juli (Four Ring) and the Clock tower at McNair. If you would like to submit that image for possible inclusion in the cover of the book, please do so.

However, the following is not negotiable:
1. You took the photograph
2. You own the rights to that image
3. Your image must NOT include clear human faces
4. You are willing to submit your image without any financial compensation.
5. If selected, you and your image will be given full credit

Thank you.
David

PARADE SEASON (Update #2)

Hello again,
Just a brief message to pass along how things are progressing.

The writing continues to move right along. So far the characters are starting to slowly enter the storyline and the story itself seems to be moving in a positive direction. I don't want to get too much into it, now. Therefore, I will stop here.

I will have more information to pass along on the next update.

In the meantime, here's a little something from the upcoming "Parade Season" by David G. Guerra.

A little background on what you are about to read. The main character is walking back to his barracks with some buddies. A couple of days after this walk, his first Parade practice will take place. At this point his thoughts of Parade Season are of what he has heard from others but has yet to experience for himself.

-----
"Minutes later, we come to the spot where Osteweg meets the Four Ring.

There it is: the Clock Tower. The Clock Tower and an empty asphalt parade field that will soon be filled with soldiers, artillery pieces, tanks, and whatever else participates during these military parades. 

I should clarify, these parades are little different from those back home. There are no floats, no pretty girls riding on top of Corvettes. However, from what I have heard there is a marching band and clowns. Lots and lots of clowns.

However, by Monday morning I should know just how much of a clown the clowns really are."

Thanks for you time. Until next time, cheers
David

PARADE SEASON (update #1)

Good Day All

How is your new year going? So far so good I hope?

Just want to give you a brief update on how the writing process for PARADE SEASON is going.

The outline of the story is complete.
The draft is about 20% complete.

As soon as the draft is complete then I begin working on the revision before I send it to get it edited.
Then another revision, followed by another round of edits, then depending if things look good I begin the final revision.

However, all of this is subject to change but I doubt it.

Thanks
David

The next book, PARADE SEASON, in the Occupied Berlin series coming June 2015.

Happy New Year! 2015!

Today, we turn the page on the calendar. A new year! A new age! A new change!

Today, we  look forward to the new future the next 12 months will bring us.

Today, I start a new journey. Today, I formally begin writing book #4 in the Occupied Berlin series: "PARADE SEASON"

The story is set during the Spring and Summer months in West Berlin when the members of the Berlin Brigade would press their uniforms, spit shine their boots, polish their brass, and baby oil their vehicles to parade with the British & French Allies on Straße des 17. Juni (from the Brandenburg Gate to the Victory Column) and on their own at the famous 4 Ring or 4th of July Platz (just outside McNair Barracks).

Without giving away too much of the story I will say that the topic centers on an outcome of one of those relationships that many of the G.I.'s in West Berlin and West Germany were warned about.

I will reveal more as I get underway.

In the meantime, I do not want to get this new year started on the wrong foot.

Therefore,  I do wish you a VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR and a VERY SUCCESSFUL 2015!

Thank you for all your support,
David
