More to Come... About Mario Acevedo
Ten years ago, I got "The Call." That is, my agent called to say that I had been offered a contract for my Felix Gomez series. Five vampire novels, a graphic novel, some short fiction, and numerous ghost-written books later, I'm still here. In the meantime I've had some adventures and met a lot of great people, artists and writers, mostly.
My big lesson in this journey? Man, is there a big gulf between my world and reality. And so what? I prefer my delusions. The truth would be an unseemly thing for a professional liar like myself. |

Message to Members
The Future of Parker Writers
Several members have expressed interest in more interactive meetings and readings of member work. We have an open meeting slot in September, and Chris Goff has volunteered to help set up a critique workshop where we would have a brief class about critique techniques followed by an interactive workshop of members’ writing.
(Presenter to be determined - more as this comes together).
As a follow on to this program, look for guest authors each month at open critique beginning in October. These published authors will offer their professional expertise on our work alongside our members.
It is my hope to expand Parker Writers Group's offerings to the writing Community at large by partnering with art and write-minded organizations in the Denver Area. The PACE Center in Parker has been receptive to working with us to host a four or six week writing class.
Also PWG is researching the mechanics and the practicality of making Parker Writers Group a nonprofit (501c3). It is our hope that such a designation would allow us to apply for grant money for additional projects and possibly some advanced writing seminars and workshops, including developing a book/writer mentoring program.
PWG is eager for your suggestions about how to make the most of the group. If you know a published author who might be interested in being a guest critic, are interested in helping develop a curriculum, or have any suggestions/interest in a specific project contact Rick at info(at)parkerwritersgroup.org.
