about me

I guess you could say that I'm a late bloomer. I didn't get into reading for enjoyment until after I graduated college. I stayed so high on pot that I didn't bother to start college until I was 32 years old. For me, the ‘60’s & ‘70’s lasted up through the mid ‘80’s. Yep, I was stoned, and I missed it, but I finally got it.

While in college, I found my passion in writing. I had an excellent English and English Literature professor who took me under her arm and encouraged me to follow my dreams. She was a real stickler for formality and proper punctuation. I wish that she were still amongst the living, so that she could rip this manuscript of mine to pieces.

I'm not perfect, but I do strive for perfection. If I say that I will read your manuscript, then you can be assured that I will. It just might not be as soon as you like. I will not back your manuscript just because you backed mine; but if it is well written--no matter what genre--you can count on me to back it.

If you want me to comment on your manuscript, then be ready for my cold hard opinion. I will not pull too many punches. If I see tons of punctuation errors, I will not correct them for you; but I will refer you to an excellent web address that recites punctuation rules. As the cliché states, there are exceptions to every rule (especially in the written English language)--but you have to know the rules to use the exceptions properly.

There are two things about my manuscript that you should know. First it is finished. I just have not uploaded all of it, and I'm not sure if I'm going to. Second, and this is the big one, A Ten Cent Movie is 95% true. I personally knew the three main characters, and I followed their court cases from start to finish--enjoy.

If I read a book farther than the first chapter, then it is my current favorite book.

A Ten Cent Movie

R.L. Meredith

As counterfeit leads to kidnapping, cold-blooded murder soon follows. This short, chilling ride through the illegal drug world will captivate and enlighten readers.


It was mid-September in 1974. President Nixon had just resigned, and America’s involvement in the Viet Nam war was winding down. President Ford had just unveiled a conditional clemency program for Vietnam-era military deserters and draft dodgers.

The baby boomer generation was learning how to assert their power, and the lines between right and wrong blurred more with each passing day. Illicit drugs were fueling the sexual revolution. The hippies had been replaced by credit card carrying yuppies and needle toting junkies.

America’s demand for illegal drugs was insatiable, and the profit margins from their sales were enormous. With drug money, millionaires were being made overnight. Tom, Gary, and Rick wanted their share of the action, so the three of them entered into the marijuana distribution and wholesale business.

Through the criminal’s point-of-view, this book will lead the reader through the sordid details of these three young mens short-lived adventures. It will give the reader new insight into the intoxicating yet frightening lure of the illicit drug trade, the minds of those who chose that lifestyle, and the subsequent consequences of their choice.

Hello Bojan, I must say that your manuscript—The Twelfth House—is probably the best manuscript that I have read on Authonomy. It will set on my bookshelf for a very long time, and I am sure that it will defiantly make its way to number one on the Editor’s Desk. What a pleasure it is/was to rea... view book
