A few words from the author:
Six years ago, this author wrote Reconstructing Charlie. The story came to me in a dream. A young girl in a small town in Minnesota kills her abusive father and is sent by her mother to run for the bus to Chicago to an aunt and uncle she didn’t know existed. The next morning, disturbed by the dream, I began to write and write and worry about Charlie Costigan, a character who became real to me. After raising a batch of kids long grown, I wondered why I had this girl to worry about. Worry I did as page after page flew by, Charlie grew more mature, eventually graduated from college and became a star in her world.
Very often people ask writers where stories come from. Some of mine come from what I call sleep writing, instead of sleep walking. It’s kind of chancy. You can’t tell if one night you’ll dream of To Kill A Mocking Bird or One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. One thing I learned is to write every day and don’t race through. Take the time to flesh out your chapters and characters so everything makes sense and don’t forget humor. In show business the word is “Never cut funny.” I believe in that.

“I didn’t realize at the time while working as an actor in NYC, I’d become a sponge soaking up dialogue, setting, and stage directions. I learned many tools of writing during the years watching directors like Mike Nichols and actors including Harrison Ford, Anthony Hopkins, and Billy Crystal. And would you believe, I was Geraldine Ferraro’s stand-in leg model, my first job giving me entrée into all the Unions needed to work. When the sweet time ended, I began another career and creative juices flowed.”

The Catch by Charmaine Gordon
Tom Donnelly, once known as The Catch – every woman’s dream guy, has fallen down every rung of the ladder he once worked so hard to climb. On New Year’s Day, he realizes just how far he’s fallen, and makes a list of resolutions to change his life. He vows to regain the trust lost from his family, his law firm, and his friends – and maybe even find the right woman this time.
Years of experience as an actor on daytime drama. Stage, spokesperson and commercials plus writing sketches for Air Force shows helped prepare me for the wonders of a writing career. Of course, I didn’t realize it at the time when immersed in the written words of others, that I was like a sponge, soaking up how to construct a scene, write dialogue, and paint the setting.
