BEYOND BELIEF CLIPS or (THE BBC)

On the BBC web site front page news quite often under a sub heading like “Also In The News” (normally on the right hand side of the page) are the sort of stories that would not normally make headlines and quite often bring a chuckle or two to myself and once shared, with my work mates as well.

Today for instance about some baby snakes that had escaped on a Quantas… Continue

Do folks really read blogs?

I was reading a post on another network about blogging when nobody ever reads it. I guess my thought on that is at least I get some things off my chest. Yes, it takes time away from promoting and writing the next book, but maybe, just maybe, someone will read my thoughts and respond...in a kind way. Occasionally I learn something from my own blogs. LOL. Go figure!

Well, today I'm throwing out a question that I hope will be seen and answered. I… Continue

The most dangerous information is that which we share freely yet, not knowing to be truth.

Not Exactly Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

Perhaps the most famous Anthony and Cleopatra were Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton in the 1963 film “Cleopatra”.

Now there is a chance that Archaeologists might be on the brink of finding the tomb of doomed lovers.

Work is about to start excavating three sites near a temple in west Alexandria. A series of deep shafts were discovered in which it is thought that Anthony and Cleopatra might be buried.

This is an area where recently, tombs containing ten… Continue

Helping Children to Reach Out to God Through Christian Children's Books

The five year old boy who had always been so bubbly and full of life, sat stoic and disturbed. His face was contorted with whatever inner turmoil that vexed him. Suddenly he burst into a fit of protest. Kicking and screaming like a wild animal, this formerly obedient child shamelessly disobeyed every warning the adults around him dished out. Discipline on that day had no effect. Only the wisdom of a tender-hearted grandmother saw through the outrage and viewed a terribly wounded… Continue

Amazon Best Seller Campaigns

I'm wondering if anyone out there has attempted such a campaign and, if so, what were the results. I'm also wondering, since numerous Net sites sell info on how to do this, if anyone now trying it on a given day would be up against a number of similar campaigners.

Good writing,

Many people in the US watch American Idol, which by the way like many other US TV programs started of in England. From Archie Bunker came from tell Death Us do Part, to the US watered down version of "the Office". A British for of "Idol" has been running under various names in England for decades, in… Continue

Author Uses Personal Experience To Write Novel

Rita Schiano, author of Painting The Invisible Man and Sweet Bitter Love, is an author, speaker and free-lance writer. "When I was a child, every Sunday morning my grandmother would rip the list of spelling bee words from the newspaper and my task that week would be to look up the words in the dictionary, learn their meaning, their pronunciation, how to spell them, and to use them in a sentence during the week," says Rita. "This once dreaded exercise led to my love of words."
