M. B. Weston Speaks to East Naples Middle School

On September 17th-19th, M. B. Weston spoke to students at East Naples Middle School. She discussed sensory details with the 8th graders, who had heard her speak last year. She explained how she tried to get inside her characters’ heads and see, feel, taste, touch, and hear what they did in order to provide an adequate word picture for her audience. She read the prologue of Out of the Shadows: Book II of the Elysian Chronicles to them, explaining how she used sensory details in the passage—and how she was able to describe the emotions of Davian without actually telling them. After that, she asked the students to imagine themselves at the beach and then asked them for sensory details. To the 7th and 6th graders, she explained writing and the process of getting published.

She broke into print in November 2004 when her poem, “Message in a Bottle,” was published in the Arizona Literary Magazine. Two years later, she landed her first book contract with ArcheBooks Publishing, Inc.

Weston released her first book in April 2007 entitled A Prophecy Forgotten, published through ArcheBooks Publishing.  A Prophecy Forgotten is the first in the Elysian Chronicles trilogy.

Weston is known as a gifted orator and often speaks to writers conference workshops and panels, classrooms, and writing organizations about the craft of writing and the process of getting published. She has a passion for teenagers and leads the Young Writer’s of Naples—a teenage chapter of the Florida Writers Association

"A Prophecy Forgotten" (ISBN-10: I-59507-I69-5; ISBN-13: 978-159507-169-9) is available now. Weston is also available for book signings or speaking engagements.  M. B.
