Calling all authors! (getting a head start this time)

For two Christmases I have done what I call the Twelve Days of Christmas book giveaway extravaganza! Well I am trying to get a head start this time so even though it is still a few months away I would like to invite all authors that would like to participate. Normally I would do a interview, but this time I think I am going to do sort of a themed idea. If I get more than 12 people do not worry that will be fine, I would like to expand and do the 25 days of Christmas so if I get a lot of people… Continue

Permissions

Hey everyone-

My publishers have had my non fiction book for about 4 months. I was waiting for the proofs to come through and then the editor wrote me stating I need written permissions from all the people mentioned in my book. An impossible task, considering I haven;t seen any of these people for 30 years. They also said if couldn't obtain the permission I would have to re-write my book and prove that all people in in the book are fictious which contradicts the point of the story.… Continue

Be who you want to be.

The old question is still "Do we use creative thinking or go with the flow." We can create our reality and environment, thereby living the life we want. We can create our environment or it will create us.

Special Dream Book - The Journey Begins

My book comes out in just a few weeks and it has taken me over two years to get here. What I have found is that the book, (which I know I was suppose to write after ten years of researching and not finding any answers to my own experience) is taking me on a journey and so I thought it would be good to share what I have learned along the way.

Not only did I find out more about this dream experience by interviewing over 300 people but also in the last year by taking my book across the… Continue

sharks and scammers

Hello,

Be aware that WL Writers Agency is a scam operation, latest incarnation of Robert Fletcher and cronies. They prey on auhors and make them their customer base. Am shocked to see them still in biz and using an ad on this site ... which just plummeted in my esteem.

best wishes and beware to all honest authors who need a break out there. And I wouldn't trust any advertiser on this site now.

Be Your Own “Happy Place”

Have you ever heard someone tell you to “go to your happy place”? This is often a recommendation we receive when we are dealing with a lot of stress or heartache. The point is to escape, as least in our minds, to a different environment in which we can experience peace and serenity. We are all unique individuals, so I am sure that everyone’s “happy place” is specific to their… Continue

We All Need to Find a Way to Relax

I love the fact that each individual we meet as we walk through our daily lives is unique and precious. We all look different, have our own priorities in life, practice a variety of faiths that bring us comfort and strength, and contain a personal history that was written for no one else. As I get to know new clients, I enjoy learning what activities they… Continue
