Hi there everyone, tomorrow i will type and send my letters to Dreamworks and Paramount and another place all that because it can be a sequel of a movie they made,
that is just in case, because if i dont do it, then i will say i did not do it and be sad and feel like a looser because i did not, we have to try everywhere just in case,
I am ok with my life now, but if there is a chance i can do something with the book in publishing it or another one later, i will do all i can and if that have to include these letters why not,
it is better taking a chance then talking about this and doing nothing like i did for months,
I am a bit tired guys, but at the same time i am very happy, it is a good experience, i received mail from a publisher but it was costing money, it's ok, but i will try other ways before doing a think like that,
So guys i will come back to you and tell you what i did so far about this,
take care all of you and thanks for being here for me
Chantale.

Very high and massive. Chantale I presume you have written your book out on your computer, If you use Microsoft word and set it to American English it will automatically help with your spelling and grammar. I look forward to seeing the design of your machine.

I started the book 3 years ago, i let the book down for more then 1 year, so i can tell you people there is a lot of correction to do, but it is going well, the story does not change tho, but my english is better, so this is why it goes well,
Also i am writing another book at the same time, a Fiction this time, with the idea from my father, he will be 73 years, next summer, and i can't work only on War of Our World, i have to write the Fiction one at the same time, it is a lot of work, but it will be done, i work hours a day almost everyday, and i feel very good about what i am doing,
So this is why it takes more time, i will come back soon to post more in other thread and here to.
Take care my friends
Chantale

I will do a quik resume for now, because i have visitors today,
I am working on my Sci-Fi that i let down for 1 year 1/2, i made many friends, authors writers, or publisher etc on FACEBOOK, about 1200 or so for now, I went back to the book line by line and did a lot of correction, not only grammar or spelling, i will have to let that to another person, but they way i write now is better then 3 years ago, i have learned a lot, now i did it, for the first time, the only thing left now, is to make the story about the war between the Resistence against the new Government, longer, because it's very important for the book, so i retained sites, that i am able to check war equipment fromthe gear to the planes, thanks etc etc, for Canada's equipment, UK, U.S., Russia China, and even Africa, i am on it now, it is going well, not enough fast for me, but it is going good, after that, i will start the other, that i lost 50 pages or so, my computer broke down, so i lost these pages for the new book, it is in collaboration with my father, but i will have to go threw the Sci-Fi book a second time and then i will find someone for the spelling and gramma mistake, and then try to publish it,
it did'nt take even 2 month to correct the book, so after the war is completed, it will take maybe a month, to do the second correction,
the title is War on Our World, there is no tripod but still aliens machine 40 floors hi, and more legs lol, but even if the war between the resistence and the new government happened after the invasion, the story will start after the invasion, when the new government were beginning to be very controlling, and before the war we will know why we only have 1/3 of the population left on earth, and why they are in that explosive situation (The War), and the characters will explain the invasion by aliens, City's blast by Nuclear Device.
So it is gong very well and very good, for the first time in my life i know that project will go threw, and also the other and, there is a sequel brewing for me Sci-Fi.
The Fiction is not a Science Fiction the one with my father, but a lot of action none of the less.
Chantale, take care guys.

I am Editing the Sci-Fi book War On Our World for the second time, now, adding some twist, but most for doing corrections in general, i also am still writing the Fiction book, that is going very well, i would like it better to be a Sci-Fi but none of the less there is action in it, so it is nice anyway to write it, especially now i am more attached to the characters.
It is been 3 months i am doing this, and also networking about it, i have a lot of Authors as Friends, including Anne Rice, James Patterson, etc.
When i write i am me. And this is what counts for now, my writing saved me for going mad, because it is possible that we will have to leave here after 17 years on the country side, to go back in town, and i dont want to go back in town, we will know for sure about this, some times next week.
Have a great weekend all of you Chantale.
I forgot guys, this will not by tripods machines, i could not bring myself to take tripod model for the book, it had to come from my idea, my drawing, it is not yet 100% sure, but i am almost there, completing my model. Chantale.

It's been a long time! The title of my SF book is now The pact. Here is a pick.
Not much different,
The Pact
About my Sci-Fi book
This is a story about the survivors of an alien invasion that was the result from a pact between a shadow government and them, which were visiting us since a long time.
The Aliens use their technology to annihilate everything in their path, they also use our own nuclear armament, it is clear that they wont respect the pact and kill everyone and everything. Something happen, they died, suddenly, the revelation of the cause will come.
Two third of the population perished, there is many injured and irradiated people, there is no food production, medicine or industry remains.
This book is about, survivor’s struggles; nothing remains of the old way of life.
Civil unrest was part of their lives, as the government tried to help, However, the government showed its true colors, as it became hostile, torturing and executing survivors and even establishing work camps, as if their lives were not difficult enough.
An underground resistance would evolve, there will be war, misery, good, evil, struggles, fears, hate love and you will see to what extent people are willing to go to regain even the smallest part of the lives they had before the invasion.
I will talk about their story after democracy has returned.
The last part is how the aliens return and this time, they are aware of where they went wrong in the first time, they intend to live.
I did not write on the book since about more then one month, the reason is that I want to finish the Action Fiction ''political'' one first, because the initial idea is coming from my father, he is 73, I dont want to take any chances, the book is almost completed, but I have to translate it all in french, it is getting along well, when it is done, the story will continue, I think it will be done for spring, but every time I put a date, It does not work that way, so only the futur will tell.
Now I will post what is the Fiction is about.

Now here is a peak or pick sorry for the spelling, this is the one I am translating in french, I started to translate the Sfi In french.
Now the Fiction Action Book, Title will change but for now
The Day that Quebec stood still. This is a pure fiction book, especially in health care. but some of it is true tought.
Here is my book story
The day that Quebec stood still.
The title will change it is to long remind us of The Day the Earth stood still.
About my book
Chantale and Guy her housband, were staying in Montreal now, after living in Elgin for 17 years, they kept the house thought, her parents lived in St-Lazarre for more then 20 years, they also had to move to Montreal, her mother had cancer and needed treatment; it was obvious that her mother was to weak, to travel back and forth to Montreal
It was hard to believe, in a democratic country like Canada, that something like that can happen, but it was happening.
Going to school, now was not very easy, others everyday were bullying children, there were also bother by other student to give them money just to keep their running shoes or coat, if they did not get the money, they would take it. They had to find an explanation to their parents, for something they did not do, over weeks and months of that regime, some were skipping school, some commit suicide.
Health care was bad, the public option was not working well anymore, people had to wait a minimum of twelve hours to see the doctor, the patient had to wait ages before having a test done or an surgery, the waiting list was huge.
There were not enough apartments for low-income people, everything was so expensive, and they did not have enough money for food and other important things anymore.
The apartments were very expensive, and a great percentage of them, had mole and mushroom on the wall and around the windows. A lot of repair had to be done, and it wasn‘t. The renting price for a place in that condition, was about seven hundred a month for a four and a half, and that not even on Montreal Island, It would be more expensive closer to downtown.
The government was corrupt; it was doing business in more then one area with mobs or play with cash money for the electoral campaign, construction contract, among other things.
The criminals were not enough punished, so the victims were the one in prison a prison of fear, afraid for their lives, among other things, when the perpetrators were on the street not after their condemnation. There was also other type of crime, like white color stealing money, from their investors. Most of the clients were loosing their entire pension money, they had to go back to work, and the perpetrators were not in prison for a long time.
One prisoner cost more money to the government, the taxpayer, in one year then a whole family on welfare.
So Chantale’s Father was very bitter after her mother died, she was not treated well at the hospital, at least not has younger people. When she was home, it was ok, the services were good, but it was not the same in the hospital, he and Chantale did not complain much because they did not want her to pay because of their complaints. …
Ten years after that, there was a braking news,
The health minister was abduct
It went on like that for the justice minister, education minister, education minister among others.
After a while, it seems the health minister was murdered, people can see it on a video.
Chantale see the watch on the wrist of the killer it is the same as her father!
She already had droughts, but now she was petrified.
It goes on like that, there will be manifestation for and against the abductions, and there will be dead people on the street, because of it, a lot of action,
At one point, it was very close to go down the drain, and being arrested and hated by people.
He was arrest, but it did not happen like he or many people would think
In the end, it will end up nice
People of Quebec will know the truth about all of it….
This story’s description, his describe by Chantale.
All the daughter’s thoughts about this will be in the book, in every step of the story.
There will be action of course, and violence but…..In the end a positive bombshell.
Chantale
