What Every Dream Means - a book review

What Every Dream Means by Scott Schafer is an enlightening and fascinating instruction manual on interpreting dreams from a Biblical paradigm. Scott begins by making a case for dream interpretation as a valid spiritual gift that is still relevant – even necessary – in today’s world. He carefully takes us through scripture to build a very convincing argument, and creates a solid foundation for understanding. He also gives practical tips, addresses possible misuses (including the…

Drowned Sorrow - Vanessa Morgan, Author



Drowned Sorrow – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat



“I wanna go live with my father.”  Giselle paused a moment to take it in.  Why didn’t his answer surprise her?  In fact, somehow she had been expecting this.  “That’s out of the question and you know it.”  Miserably, she started to wash up the dirty dishes while…

Done and Done... Finally and Forever

 

That's it. AFTER is finished! I've contacted the formatter and I am waiting for his reply. I'm going to get the ISBN but not the bar code, since this will be an ebook and only available hard copy through Create Space. The ISBN will allow the book to be distributed worldwide. I've begun very simple marketing and promo by mentioning AFTER in two new blog interviews that I've done. Here's that info:

Cleveland W. Gibson Guest Post

"I read Dracula when I was only thirteen and at school. Since those days the paranormal genre has changed, and for the good. The twist and turns and the bringing of two different words together and the sharing of life between humans and vampires has brought good content to this type of story.

In the story by Laurie Bowler I read about the tribulations of a young mother off to carve out a new career and life for herself in Abu Dhabi. Do vampires exist out there ? Is it not sand , sun…

J. Evan Johnson Guest Post

I am amazed at the amount of people who don’t have dreams. No, I don’t mean I shouldn’t have ate that burrito last night kind of dream. I mean those dreams that keep us going, those dreams that keep us pushing for more each day. I am floored to hear people almost settle for things in their nine to five jobs as if that is all they are. I’m starting to think that society has pressured many of us into thinking of our means of survival as the actual dream, primarily because of how our economic…

How Many Wives did Henry VIII Have?

My current guilty pleasure is watching The Tudors on DVD (a mother’s day present from my boys – clever chaps.) All of which set me thinking: how well do you know your Tudor history?

So here’s a simple question:

How Many Wives did Henry VIII have?

a)      6

b)      5

c)      4

d)      2

 

Now those of you with an English education will be counting on your fingers: Divorced, Beheaded, Died, Divorced, Beheaded, Survived.

So…

Live the adventure called life.

Life is an adventure. Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you believe that we control the direction our lives take us? Do you believe in the Law of Attraction? If not, take a walk with Trii (tree) and perhaps you'll change your mind.





Forever and Always is a love story, but it is also much more. It is a story of a girl, growing up in the latter part of the 20th century. Share with her the challenges and triumphs… Continue

A Dead Red Heart - R P Dahlke, Author



A Dead Red Heart – Review by Martha A. Cheves, Author of Stir, Laugh, Repeat



‘Outside my bedroom window cicadas sawed a sleepy rhythm and a breeze picked musically at the dry leaves on the Chinaberry tree and then – nothing.  I couldn’t sleep.  I turned over again, slamming down the image of a dying man clutching scissors sticking out of…

Divorce: Earthquake or Volcano

Each year millions of people suffer the crippling effects of a life-shattering event – breakup/divorce. Naturally they want to understand their predicament, grasp what has befallen them, or tell the world what they are going through.

 

Two natural disasters come to mind when thinking about relationship failure: "It's like an earthquake," or "Now I know what it's like to be under a volcano." According to the metaphors, you cannot mend the chasm in the earth or put the…
