Guest Post and Book Giveaway for MRS. LIEUTENANT at Books on the Brain

I have a guest post on Books on the Brain in connection with a book giveaway. Here’s the beginning of this guest post about authors promoting their books:



I’m reading Stephanie Chandler’s new book “The Author’s Guide to Building an Online Platform” with the subtitle “Leveraging the Internet to Sell More Books.” It’s one of several such books I’ve read as well as numerous teleseminars I’ve listened to along with attending John Kremer’s two-day marketing event… Continue

The Legend of Aezubah: The Crimson General



Synopsis

Dispossessed at an early age, Aezubah has wandered the world in search of vengeance. On arid mountaintops, remote glaciers and burning deserts he has conquered demons from the edge of creation, wicked sorcerers, and evil kings. As a General, he is beloved of all the warriors who follow him.

But his victories are never final; he goes forth again and again with nothing but his horse, spear and sword, in loneliness and solitude,… Continue

Having A Bad Hair Day

The joy of the Lord is your strength.

Nehemiah 8:10





My little Carson was having a bad hair day today. Literally. And it affected a good part of his day. He is letting his hair grow a bit and it's starting to be a little too long for him to control. He went to bed with it wet last night, so when he woke up this morning, it was sticking up all over his head. He looked really cute, for home. But not for Vacation Bible School. I tried to comb it for him, but he didn't… Continue

The Best Car Cleaner

Do you know of any? Wish we did. Sunday morning we walked out of the house into a warm sunny day, birds chirping, and a soft breeze blowing. Suddenly, as we reached the driveway, hubby paused and with a calm, cautious, and calculated pitch said, “That’s interesting.”



In the thirty two years I’ve known him, when that tone slips from his lips, there’s something wrong.



Unable to see for obvious reasons, curiosity pricked at me. So my eager questions blurted faster than the… Continue

Fixed Mind: Saying No to Yourself Before You Ever Start

I’m a huge fan of the book MINDSET: THE NEW PSYCHOLOGY OF SUCCESS by Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D.



According to Dweck, a person with a growth mindset eagerly tackles new experiences even if that person knows he/she may not at first be successful. A growth-mindset person understands that what’s important is the learning that takes place in trying new experiences. It’s not a question of how smart or how stupid someone is. It’s a matter of willingness to learn new things even at the risk of… Continue

First Female Four-Star General Nominated by President Bush



The June 24th Wall Street Journal carried this blurb in the front-page What’s News column: A woman has been chosen for promotion to the rank of four-star general for the first time in American history.



For someone whose novel features the wives of four new army officers in the spring of 1970 and who was there at the beginning of the women’s movement, this was a rather exciting headline.



The Journal article itself described… Continue

What type writer are YOU?

I just finished writing the first draft of VEXING THE VISCOUNT, the manuscript that's due to my editor later this summer. I know what you're thinking. "Big Whoop! It's just a first draft." For me, typing THE END is a big deal because of how I write a book.



I'm mostly a linear writer. Once I have a fully developed idea of the plot points and the characters solidly in my head, I start on the first chapter and write the story straight through in order. I sneak back from time to time to… Continue

Be Nice To Someone You Don’t Know Today!

June 25th, 2008

What kind of an idea is that you ask? I will tell you, a good one!! Think about it. If each of us would just go out of our way today ( everyday??) to smile that extra smile, or say that sweet word, or open a door for someone, our world would be brighter. it really does matter.



In my book Polka-dot Star Flowers: Real Help for Real People, I give examples of this. It really does change the atmosphere all around us when we are looking to be nice- to make someones… Continue

Learn Something New!

June 24th, 2008

When is the last time you tried something new? Learned something new? Felt excited about life?



Those all go together actually. We were designed to be ever learning and growing. It is in the expanding of our minds that we find the fresh breeze of happiness blowing over us. We were made in the image of God. God is creative! Think of all the beautiful things he made. Did he make one or two types of flowers? One or two types of trees? How many animals can you name?… Continue

Nothing Is Impossible With Jesus

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1



The other night Chase and I were out playing fetch with Zeke. Chase was chasing Zeke around while Zeke was fetching the ball. It's a fun game that the boys like to play. Sorta like tag, but Zeke is always it! Chase and I were chattering away, when he looked up and noticed that the stars were starting to come out. "Look Mommy," he said, "there's a star!" I asked him if he made a… Continue
