René O'Deay’s Summary

I've worked as a newspaper and radio reporter, photojournalist, and a professional photographer, operating an Old Tyme Portrait Studio for 9 years in the Wild West and wilder New Orleans, as an entertainer and helped produce in 1970 a free concert on the beach in Palo Alto, CA, and am experienced in dealing with the public, media, public relations and promotions.

My goal is to successfully launch my adult historical fiction series: "Tales of King Tut" into the world, beginning with "Sun Child, Prince of Egypt," as a 'Breakout Debut Novel'.

For all you Jazz afficianados around the world, I have great links to the best Jazz station in the world on my websites.
