Welcome to Sharkbait Writes!
Thanks for surfing onto the online realm of Sharkbait Writes! Set your surf board over in the visitors center, kick off your shoes, and enjoy your stay.
This Web site is devoted to news about my writing projects, including my progress in writing my first supernatural horror novel tentatively titled The Devil’s Nightmare. I’m excited about this new project for 2012 and plan for an Oct. 31, 2012 release. To keep me focused on writing I am taking the #WIP500 challenge beginning Jan. 1, 2012. The challenge is to write 500 words every day. If you are interested in participating in this challenge be sure to click on the #WIP500 image in the sidebar.
You can also find out about my first book written in 2004 (and released in e-book format in September 2011) in the Shark’s Books menu above. There you will find a synopsis of Victory Lane: The Chronicles – Pursuit of a Dream and also a link to a short story I wrote in 2003. From now until May 31, 2012, I will be donating 100% of the royalties from sales of Pursuit of a Dream to the Indies Unite for Joshua campaign to help a fellow author’s son fight Leukemia.

Love the name and all of the connotations.
Thanks for visiting, Tami! I’m thinking I should put on the “Bruce the Shark” avatar every once in a while for my main Twitter Account @SharkbaitWrites (since I don’t use @WWSharkbaitWW much anymore). I’ll definitely be doing that on Halloween, though. vV”"Vv
Hi, Rob! Just wanted to thank you again for the kind words about my interview with Lorna Suzuki. Wishing you all the best with The Devil’s Nightmare!
You’re welcome, Lorna. I always enjoy reading author interviews, particularly of those within my circle of writerly friends. Thanks for the encouragement regarding my current project The Devil’s Nightmare. I’m having a blast writing it and I think it’s coming along nicely. Cheers!
I thank you for following my books blog.

Really enjoy your writing and your tweets Rob, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the kind words, Dave. It always puts a smile on my face when I read comments like that. I’m glad you enjoy my writing and tweets. While some people like to stick to a theme on their blogs, I like to mix it up a bit. Cheers!
This guy lives across the street of me. When we first met, the introduction was not all that pleasant. No foul words, just did not hit it off too good. As time prevailed, for some reason I don’t remember, we spoke on good terms to one another. Sharky introduced me to his Dad and then to his Mom. Time prevailed again and we started playing war games together. This was in the ancient times when a game could be played over the telephone. He gave me his other half of the game (game of to disks) to use on my computer and we played countless times on this one game. For him not to brag too much, but I never won one of those games. I gave him doubts at times that I was going to win, but never did I win. We have become quite tight in our friendship and I’m glad of it. We now play at times at his house over different pc’s he has and I still cannot beat him playing that game. Because of that, I refuse to challenge him. Instead we gain up and play the computer with two enemies and he ends by whipping his side and I’m still struggling with mine. To end the game quicker, he sends help to me to beat the enemy. As time would be, our scheduals would differ and we haven’t played in close to a year. Friendship is still tight, though.
Thanks for the great memories of how we became friends, Albert. It was Hurricane Claudette that sparked our friendship. Without any electricity, we started playing chess together on the front porch. It’s amazing how it sometimes takes a force of nature to get neighbors outside and talking to each other. (Side note: Playing chess with someone who prefers checkers makes for an interesting opponent.)
Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars. That was the game we started playing together on our old computers with a dial-up modem, which also tied up our phone lines with a busy signal (oh, those were the times). When we eventually upgraded to Command & Conquer: Generals and had our LAN party (hooking up my PC and laptop) history was made. That’s when we became “General Thunder” and “General Lightning”. I’m glad you posted about these gaming times because I miss having our “war games”. We’ll definitely have to hook up again soon and hit the RTS (Real-time Strategy) battlefield. A.I. generals be afraid… be VERY afraid.
Cheers, my friend!
Okay, sharky. You can do it all! I’m really impressed and envious. In truth I wish you the best of luck with your writing and may you sell many books!
