Some people just don’t know how to be nerdy enough to be a real nerd. So here is the first ever guide of how to get it right.



1.One of the classic nerd traits are glasses. Wear them even if you don’t have to, And don’t forget , normal people wear glasses too, so you have to make sure that they are too big for your face, and never ever forget the classic nerd glasses trade mark. The white tape around the middle

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY!

Wow, have I been busy. I'm working hard on the rewrites for my book,To Tell the Truth. Though I've been frustrated numerous times, it is coming along. For those of you who do not know about my book, check out my website, www.fayetollison.com. I will be glad when I finish this because I am missing the writing I was doing on my second book, The Bible Murders. It is a spin off of my first book and has both the main characters of my first book. I've been so busy I haven't been able to keep up with… Continue

Help for Hurricane Victims

The devastation is evident, the threat is fierce and the results shake our lives. Those same reactions rumble in our hearts when facing emotional hurricanes—familiar to so many.



I’ve survived a few in my lifetime. And the help I received came not from the Federal government, but from the faithful God. He watches the winds howl, the waters of fear gush against us, and the flood of gloom that fills our hearts.



But great news—His relief is timely, complete and trustworthy. So… Continue

Ike outside and marching in Place

Thankfully, I do not live on the Gulf coast of Texas, or else I would probably not be able to enjoy my sick weekend at home. As it is, living near Dallas, which is pretty darn far inland, I'm STILL seeing the effects of Hurrican Ike today. It has been raining nonstop all day long, and the wind is quite audible.







Earlier this week, my class and I were going over Place Value. The kids had only learned place value through the thousands (though there was some debate over… Continue

Another Award for 'A Study in Red'



Though not the largest award in the world I am still pleased to say that 'A Study in Red - The Secret Journal of Jack the Ripper' was given the accolade of 'Erin Aislinn's Book Cover of the Week' for the week commencing 28th July 2008. It's always nice to be appreciated and this small award is just as important to me as any of the larger ones that the book has so far picked up. 'A Study in Red'… Continue

Fans of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Little House on the Prairie

Hello all,



I hope life is treating you well. I wanted to share this with you since Laura Ingalls Wilder's books are such an influential part of children's literature. I spoke with Dean Butler last night. Dean played Almanzo Wilder on the classic TV show Little House on the Prairie from 1979 - 1983. Dean has stayed very committed to his Little House roots and provided much of the bonus content for the DVD boxed sets from Seasons 6 through 9 and the three movies that aired after the… Continue

Excerpt from “The Power of 10 Gaining Empowerment in 10 minutes, 10 words, 10 people” by Holly Spence

10 minutes for me? You’re kidding right? I can’t find time to complete all that I need to do on a daily basis and you are suggesting taking 10 minutes for me?

My day starts at 5:30 a.m., as I’m putting in a load of laundry, ironing my clothes, and throwing lunches at the kids so they won’t miss the 7:30 a.m. bus. I grab my purse, briefcase and laptop. Double-check to ensure I have my cell phone, earpiece and keys to the car. I have a fun filled day of conference calls and an over-quota… Continue

Days to Remember in September

(artwork by brothers Greg and Tim Hildebrandt)



Before the hours of insanity and annihilation that changed world history on September 11, 2001, the month of September was noted by members of my family primarily as the birth month for at least a half dozen individuals. It remained, of course, their month after the destruction of New York City’s World Trade Center and the loss of thousands of lives, but the shadow of that event tends to lessen… Continue

September 11 Memories

My memories of that date vary a bit from most. On the first anniversary of that horrific event, we buried our 19-year-old son, our youngest of three. The airplane of horror also crashed into our hearts setting flames of anguish to destroy our world.



So, what do we do with the memories, those that haunt our nights and cast shadow of sadness to our days?



The answer came to me with softness of dawn when erasing a black night. It wasn’t anything profound, deep or even mystical… Continue

This Week 192

Getting out of the office last week was a treat. My partner and I visited Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. Such beautiful places and it was nice to have a break together. One of the things I love about having time off is that I return refreshed and with new ideas. This short respite was no exception.



In my quest to keep moving forward, I've spent time over the past weeks removing projects from my life that are no longer satisfying. I've slashed out things that served their… Continue

Interview with Author Shobhan Bantwal

Mini Bio for Shobhan Bantwal:





I was born and raised in India and came to the U.S. as a young arranged-marriage bride 34 years ago. I have embraced American culture and the U.S. has been my home all my adult life. Arranged marriage is an exotic and odd concept for most Americans, but in my culture it is the norm.… Continue
