How important is the first page of your novel? What about the first paragraph? Or even the first sentence?
Do they really have to be different from any . . . more

Describe Yourself:
Aaron Paul Lazar lives on a ridge overlooking the Genesee Valley in upstate New York with his wife, mother-in-law, and cat. Recent "empty-nesters," Aaron and Dale have been fixing up their 1811 antique home after twenty-five years of kid and puppy wear. Daughters Jennifer, Melanie, and Allison live close by, and weekends now feature sleepover parties for grandsons Julian and Gordon.
Aaron works as an electrophotographic engineer at Eastman Kodak Company, in Rochester, New York, but his true passion lies in writing. While currently working on his thirteenth novel, he also enjoys gardening; cooking family feasts; photography, cross-country skiing, classical music, and French Impressionist art. Although he adored raising his delightful daughters, he finds grandfathering his "two little buddies" one of life's finest experiences.
In addition to receiving publishing contracts for DOUBLE FORTE', UPSTAGED, TREMOLO: CRY OF THE LOON, MAZURKA, HEALEY'S CAVE, and ONE POTATO,BLUE POTATO, Aaron writes "Seedlings," a monthly column featured in the Futures Mystery Anthology Magazine (FMAM) and the Mysteryfiction.net literary newsletter "Voice in the Dark." His articles on writing have appeared in Absolute Write,and his essay, "Word Paintings" was included in the 2007 Bylines Writers' Desk Calendar. Check out the Great Mystery and Suspense Magazine for the flash fiction piece, "Follow the Leader" and visit his blogs at www.murderby4.blogspot.com and www.aaronlazar.blogspot.com.
Aaron is the Saturday Writing Essential host.
