Shadows from the Past: Guest Post with Ashley Dawn


It's Thanksgiving!

Thank you to all my blog readers, my book readers, and the many people who've encouraged me in writing. Thank you to my editors at Gypsy Shadow and Stonegarden for their endless patience and the wonderful lessons they've taught me. Thank you to my online friends on Gather, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Lunch, Google, Blogger, etc. And thank you to my family and real-world friends in England, the US and beyond.

Above all, thanks be to God for His wonderful gifts.

Today I'm privileged to welcome Ashley Dawn, author of Shadows from the Past, to my blog. You can find my review of Shadows from the Past here--one of the first books I reviewed online! It's lovely to read Ashley's post and learn some more about her. I wish you all the best with your Shadows books Ashley. And thank you for visiting my blog today.

Good morning!  I thought since today is Thanksgiving, I thought a post about things I’m thankful for would be appropriate.  Like many, I don’t take the time to stop and be thankful as much as I should so that is what I’m doing now!

First, I’m thankful for God.  He saved me and has been with me through everything!  I can never express how thankful I am for all that He has done for me.  

Second is my family.  I have a wonderful husband and 2 great children that I don’t know what I would ever do without.  They make my life complete and I adore all of them.  Not to mention my extended family with which I am equally blessed.  My parents, grandparents, siblings, niece & nephews along with a host of cousins are all extremely supportive and loving.   

Third is the wonderful life I have.  I have a life I love and that I cannot imagine life different from this one.  I work, take my kids with me to the office, and write.  I spend enormous amounts of time with my kids through the day and I love it.  I have the ability and desire to home school my children and am excited about that.  Writing is my passion and there is time to sit and get lost in my own stories and worlds.  Getting to indulge in my passion is so fulfilling!

Last, I’m thankful for all my friends. The ones that I’ve met both on line and in person.  You are the best group of people that I could ever ask to be surrounded by.  Thank you so much for befriending me and for supporting me through the different things in my life.  I love all of you!
Thank you so much Shelia for having me today & I hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!!

How to Connect those Connections

Taken from a talk I gave on Sunday at the Writers' Mill. This is a very low-level approach to getting connected, from one beginner to another... Internet Writing, Marketing and Networking If you’ve got an email address you’re on the internet. If you’ve got a book out or an article in a magazine, you’re into marketing. If you’ve got friends, you’re networking. And if you use Google, you can do almost anything. Google Google is your friend. Google “how to join facebook” “How to join goodreads” “How to join Twitter” etc… Google “facebook badges” “blogger widgets” etc… to spice up your pages. Anything you want to know, a nice simple question to google will almost certainly tell you. But keep safe . Don’t just click on the first link you see. Make sure it looks vaguely genuine. “F*@!book.com/badges” might take you somewhere you don’t want your computer to go. “Facebook.com/badges” tells you all about badges. Why would you want to join all these interne...

Eternal curse might hide a blessing too.

Today is the official launch day for Toi Thomas's paranormal romance, Eternal Curse, and I was lucky enough to be offered a free preview copy some while ago. The novel creates an intriguing mythology of angelic beings and the Fall, binding it nicely to modern day characters in search of meaning for their lives. There's an interesting blend of the paranormal, faith and science, and the story has a nicely old-fashioned feel with separate underlying tales taking center stage on the way to resolution. So... here's the cover, the blurb, and my review: ABOUT THE BOOK 'You have plenty of time to change your mind. You have not yet seen the monster I can be.' Giovanni has been waiting his whole life to meet someone like Mira, someone from the outside world who might be able to help him. He wonders if there really is help for him as he continues to hold tightly onto dark secrets and even darker memories. Giovanni wants to be hopeful and he wants to accept Mira...

Author or transcriber, reader or visitor, greatest or least? Meet Kathryn Elizabeth Jones

Image
 Today I'm delighted to welcome Kathryn Elizabeth Jones, author of " I walked with Jesus ," to my blog. I very much enjoyed her short stories retelling miracles from the life of Christ - we clearly have faith and short fiction in common with each other.  I loved how historical, real, and relevant Kathryn's stories felt. You can find my review here:  https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4904771188 . I'd love to meet the author and chat in person, but inviting her to my blog is the next best thing, so I asked her to let me and you how she finds her audience. Here's what she told me. Why I think my audience is beginning to find me by  Kathryn Elizabeth Jones One of the hardest things to do as an author, other than writing or marketing a book, is to find that often illusive audience. It’s easier with mysteries or children’s picture books, probably because you know who reads them; adults and teens who love sleuthing and children and their parents who love reading....
