Being a part of a team is something that we all cherish, and have since childhood. There is something about being on a team, any kind of team, that makes you feel special, and at times, less lonely.
Typically, a team consists of people with similar interests who share certain goals: Players on an athletic team all enjoy the sport they play, with a goal of winning games. Corporate team members work in the same field and strive for success.In writing circles, there are many groups, which could easily be considered teams. Team Sci-Fi would consists of writers in that genre with the goal of helping each other succeed. Team Fantasy, Team Horror, and Team Romance would all gather under similar circumstances, sharing ideas and information about a genre that they are familiar with and interested in.
But Team Crazy is a little different, and I am the self- proclaimed queen.
Although my novel, They Call Me Crazy, is about a woman who is a bit nutty, the craziness in the writing is something I think all genres touch on to a certain extent. Everyone tries to have a little fun in their work, whether it is a funny line, an unusual situation, or a quirky character. So "crazy" is present in all writing, not just books and stories in which humor is a major component.
But there’s more.
So what makes Team Crazy different than other teams? It’s all inclusive. Writers, readers, doctors, truck drivers, kids, grandmas---everyone is welcome. Because we're all a little crazy.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Cass Adams is
crazy, and everyone in Deacon, Kansas, knows it. But when her good-for-nothing husband,
Roland, goes missing, no one suspects that Cass buried him in their unfinished
koi pond. Too bad he doesn’t stay there for long. Cass gets arrested on
the banks of the Spring River for dumping his corpse after heavy rain partially
unearths it.
The police
chief wants a quick verdict—he’s running for sheriff and has no time for crazy
talk. But like Roland’s corpse, secrets start to surface, and they bring more
to light than anybody expected. Everyone in Cass’s life thinks they know
her—her psychic grandmother, her promiscuous ex-best friend, her worm-farming
brother-in-law, and maybe even her local ghost. But after years of separate silences,
no one knows the whole truth. Except Roland. And he’s not talking.
