Story Prize finalists and Debut Novelists in NSSWM
Posted by Rachel

Congrats to Jim Shepard (Like You'd Understand, Anyway), Vincent Lam (Bloodletting & Miraculous Cures), and British author Tessa Hadley (Sunstroke and Other Stories) for being finalists for the Story Prize.

This is a bittersweet moment. Back in July I attempted to contact Vincent Lam about doing an interview for the 2009 NSSWM as one of the new authors we feature. Unfortunately, I never got a hold of him. It's nice to know I have good taste, and I do understand why he probably didn't get back to me, but he would have rounded out my selection nicely.

However, I was able to contact some amazing debut novelists. I've been finishing the article over the last few days, so I'm especially psyched right now. I got to speak with Gary D. Wilson (Sing, Ronnie Blue), Marcia Laycock (One Smooth Stone) and Camille DeAngelis (Mary Modern), while one of my freelancers interviewed Fiona Maazal (Last Last Chance). You'll get to read all about them in the 2009 NSSWM.

All of them wrote excellent books, but I have to rave a bit about Mary Modern. It's this fabulous tale of family and the weight of expectations and desires, and clones. Trust me, go read it. I don't physically force books on my friends very often, but this was one that I did. If you don't at least appreciate how good it is, you can come back here and throw tomatoes at me.

Synopsis/Summary of the book.

REVELATIONS FROM GOD'S PARADISE.
Original title was MY SCRIPTURES, the reason for that was because Miron wanted to write it in verse which he eventually did. What started him on writing the book was, when he killed a big snake that was Saddam Hussein's alter ego on a Saturday before Christmas. Miron offered a short prayer of thanks and said, Saddam Hussein has been caught. Saddam was arrested over night, in less than twenty four hours. Miron is a Born Again Christian and believes in the power of prayer. The inspiration for the book came from God above, through the holy ghost who spoke and actually guided Miron to write the book. Miron didn't like the title, so he prayed about it and after a while, REVELATIONS FROM GOD'S PARADISE was given to him. He didn't know what to write about, so he prayed and the Lord led him to put in all the dreams, visions and psychic experiences that he wrote down over the years, encded on computer disc and printed them out on paper. Lot of the dreams were prophetic that came true. Encounters with flying objects, demon casting and healing the sick are some things. Cooking recipes, poetry and short and long stories. The Lord gave Miron an outline of a plan how to build a new Church after He said, build my dwelling place. Miron realised it was God's will for him to write the book for God's Glory. Miron, as John Joseph is not seeking Glory for himself but he realises that this book will bring him fame. The Lord said, I will find you a publisher, you write it, it is not your book but mine. There wasn't enough script, so Miron prayed and the Lord led him to finish writing the book that was originally titled, CASE HISTORY OF JAY. Miron was led to change the title to HEALING OF JAN and later to ANGEL JOHN JOSEPH. It came from massage and healing of a woman and of Miron showing her the past that the Lord revealed to him. The whole story was rewritten from memory after the original script with all his belongings was stolen from storage by the Jehovah's Witnesses in Brisbane, Australia, when his lady friend Shirley died from cancer. Third script originally titled INVASION OF THE PLANT CREATURES, became SPACE MAN JOHN JOSEPH. The last section of the book. Miron started writing it in a shopping mall after an idea came to him of the original title, INVASION OF THE PLANT CREATURES. While he was writing the script and having a cup of coffee, some criminal walked through, pulled out a switch blade knife and tried to slash him up to stop him from writing it. The story was written as part of Miron's Writing School Course but it was rejected out of hand by his teacher tutoring him by mail from a correspondence school. Teacher said it was too long and that Miron must cut script from it because nobody will publish it. Miron refused because it would have destroyed the story. When Miron sent it to some international publishers, they told him it was full of holes and advised to elaborate by adding script. The original was also stolen by the Jehovah's Witnesses but Miron rewrote it from memory to where he stopped before, after reading through it, he added more to it which was very hard to do but he finished it to the end and was satisfied with it. After Miron was finished his Writing School course online via e~mail, he was given a diploma but he may not have got it if he had not lodged a complaint to the Principal Robin Burrows and had the teacher put in front of a committe to be disciplined for trying to fail Miron because he is always too outspoken. This is one trait Miron has and people hate him for it. Miron started searching for a publisher online and the Lord led him to Outskirts Press. Miron knew straight away that he was on the right track. He started paying the reading fee after deciding to pay it off in installments. There were some tense periods between Miron and his wife about the money but Miron persevered until the payments were finished because there was no cutting corners so to speak. Finally, it is a relief that the first book is going to print and his talents as a Creative Writer will finally be recognized. Let that be a lesson to all concerned for all eternity. This Sinopsis is now finished. 30/1/2007.

INVASION OF THE PLANT CREATURES will appear in the next book as SPACE MAN JOHN JOSEPH. miron_lovric@yahoo.com.au

About the Author, MIRON LOVRIC
MIRON LOVRIC is a student of the human condition, wielding the written craft to enrapture the mind much like an artist wields a brush. The pages are a blank canvas on which to draw from a talent heralded by many and matched only by an imagination that rises to the task. REVELATIONS is the first in a series of recent pursuits, with work progressing quickly on the follow-up. Next book following will be The LIFE AND TIMES OF A NEW AUTHOR ONE. Book is finished and ready for submission now, to be published unabridged.
`ABOUT THE AUTHOR’.
Miron Lovric was born in Croatia, the former Yugoslavia under the communist
regime of TITO. He migrated as a child of TEN (10) years of age to Australia after being
sponsored by the Man he knew as his father but now knows him as only his adopted
father, his real father is a NON ENTITY.
Woman he previously knew only as Aunt Cathy had become his
STEP-MOTHER, he had to call her MOTHER when he came to Australia on June 7
1960. As a student in school Miron was very badly abused by the teachers and his father
because he has epilepsy and sometimes, he is not responsible for his actions.
Epilepsy, making him
naturally lazy was always counted as laziness on his part, so the alibi for
punishment/abuse of him physically. SECRETS being kept about his life in the family
estranged the author from the family in later life.
MIRON was taken custody of and adopted by the Australian Liberal government
because of neighbors and the teachers complaining about the abuse of his father against
him all the time, therefore, he became the ward of the QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
MIRON was schooled by the Australian Welfare Services in a Special School
where they kept All the STOLEN CHILDREN from MIGRANT PARENTS. He was
abused by the teachers in School and the house staff till after his collapse and near death
where he actually died and GOD allowed him to return totally cured from his illness to
continue in this life as a MESSENGER OF GOD who he knows has a purpose for him
and has CHOSEN him to write this work of SCRIPTURE at this time.
MIRON graduated from what they called DIVISION TWO, it was
SECOND YEAR HIGH and a year later was discharged back with the family and further
abuse on him where he was kept as a virtual slave because first his DOLE money was
taken from him by his father all the time, then his pension when it was granted to him
before his father attacked him after lies were told by his STEP-MOTHER and he was
locked up and made a WARD OF THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND again but in a
psychiatric hospital because of him defending himself against his father’s bashings and
continual physical abuse.
MIRON eventually ran away from the Psychiatric hospital to make his own life
living in the QUEENSLAND SUNSHINE SUPER STATE, he was married once but
after his divorce from The UNFAITHFUL wife who organized the divorce and paid for it
after also abusing him very much, he lived as a bachelor with an occasional girlfriend.
MIRON started out as an AUTHOR by writing to newspaper EDITORIALS, he
eventually started making small amounts of money from his writings and at this time he
is happily married with his second wife in the Philippines, he is entering his FOURTEENTH
year of marriage and the two girls who were daughters of his wife are now his grown up
daughters.
ALL THIS WAS REVEALED TO THE AUTHOR IN DREAMS AND VISIONS
THROUGH THE YEARS BEFORE HIS SECOND MARRIAGE TOOK PLACE.
THE BOOK OF SCRIPTURE will have these REVELATIONS as short STORIES and
POETRY of the AUTHOR’S showing what the LORD GOD did for him and let him do.
MIRON shall be known as PROPHET JOHN JOSEPH in this book.

It is strange, I was wondering how to find my website and only
yesterday afternoon, I was surfing the internet yesterday, in
the late afternoon and I typed in the search box miron_lovric
and clicked search. I got a surprise to see everything there but now as this particular blog shows the details of the sales
sheet, let anybody or any company in any country who wants to
engage in sales, contact the publisher by the above details and sell books for me because up to this time, five months has
already passed since the publication of the book and I still
have not been paid any money at all. The Author, REVELATIONS
