Note to Moderator:
I came across this site and saw that it had some old information on my Beverly Bonnie O'Neill stories, including the kindle and createspace volume of some of the Bev stories, Visiting ... but it notes Bev's legal name is Keith Vlasak, but doesn't have any of the listings of work found at Amazon, including my recent huge fantasy, Have Amber - Will Travel. I'd like to update as much as I can if possible, including the recent "from the author" I added to the Visiting description at Amazon: I started out writing and drawing comic books in 5th grade and moved on to horror and fantasy. It was in 8th grade, which was in the high school where I went to school, in study hall where each page I finished got passed around and the appreciation made me determined to be a writer, when a popular senior stood by my desk trying to track down the last page of a story as the pages were returned to me. He wanted to finish the story, which made me feel terrific, of course; and he said, "I can always tell when you're getting to the good part -- you press harder with your pencil." I always read a lot of fantasy and science fiction -- Heinlein, Niven, Zelazny, Moorcock and Star Trek novelizations early on; and eventually Robert Asprin, Jordan, Goodkind, Martin, Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts, Feintuch, Lois McMaster Bujold, De Lint, Joel Rosenberg, and everything by David Drake. The return to writing fantasy and science fiction for me, though, didn't come until the early 1990's from my reading the female fantasists -- Elizabeth Moon, Patricia C. Wrede, Tamora Pierce, Anne McCaffrey, Sherwood Smith, Jane Lindskold, and, more recently, Kristen Britain. I liked reading about the young women or girls who were the main characters, and so I started writing about them. I wrote under the pen name Beverly Bonnie O'Neill, and I no doubt was and I am a little too male in my appreciation of aspects of my characters to exactly meld, but, hey, maybe that's my particular niche in the genre. Visiting is a collection of a dozen of those Bev stories. -------------- If this signing up doesn't create a page I can fill out, please let me know what I need to do. Thank you, Keith Vlasak
