Shara Rendell Smock
I'm the secretary of the Florida Writers Association. This pro group has fun people who attend informative meetings in most counties in FL. We also have many online benefits and it's no longer just for FL. We currently have more than 700 members. You can see this site at www.floridawriters.net.
Living with Big Cats was my book about Jungle Larry, Safari jane, and David Tetzlaff of Naples Zoo in Florida. I followed the trainer with my tape recorder as he answered my questions as he chopped meat to feed his tigers, trained young leopards to join the leopard act, washed down cages. This book has more than 100 professional photos of their lions, leopard, and tigers throughout their thirty-five years in the animal business. Behind-the-scenes stuff. Like Jack Hanna, who I also spoke with, the Tetzlaffs showcase an animal's natural behavior. See www.sharasmock.com or amazon.com for more.
My current project is co-writing the untitled, in progress, Garbage Book. Mary Brotherton, Kathy Taromina, and I are co-writing an informative and humorous book about the men and women who collect garbage. If we use YOUR story, we will send you a FREE copy of the book, autographed by both authors. For more on this, see www.myspace.com/garbagebook.
See www.sharasmock.com for details, reviews, and how to buy any of my work.
Author of the books Hooking the Reader: Opening Lines that Sell, Living with Big Cats, and contributing author to Writer Profits: How I Got the Gig. http://www.sharasmock.com
