    About How to write a song made for success:

    “Breakthrough Songwriting” takes a unique approach to writing songs. Instead of providing techniques for getting ideas, which everyone already does, I explain how to develop your ideas into meaningful lyrics by showing you the big picture. This provides you with a greater understanding and as a result you have greater freedom to develop the song. I have spent the majority of my life learning to write songs and continually learning to write them better. Now I want to teach it to you. The art of writing songs is fulfilling when someone finally allows you look behind the curtain which is hiding so many secrets. It was with great pain that I discovered the following, but it’s with great pleasure that I now pass it on to you.

  3. Fanny Bower Puts Herself Out There -

    00325About Fanny Bower Puts Herself Out There:

    Fanny Bower is not a joiner. She leads a quiet existence – keeping to the sidelines, avoiding high jinks, living in her head and waiting for something momentous to happen. A few weeks into a new job, at the urging of her socially savvy colleague, she decides to begin afresh to conquer her fears and release her inner dynamo – whatever that is.

    Her inaugural foray at an office cocktail reception goes horribly awry when she finds herself caught up in mayhem and thrust into the spotlight, placing her at odds with her handsome and uber-powerful employer who takes a dim view of her shenanigans. Determined to fix her crippling social anxiety, stay employed, and discover her life’s purpose, she puts herself out there. Her new “butterfly wings” are tested as they flutter incessantly between mystifying small talk and mortifying gaffes in a bid to unleash a charm offensive – whatever that means.

    At the very height of her confusion, she is spurred to action by the plight of a friend. She plunges headlong into a situation fraught with uncertainty and risks everything, including the alienation of the one person she’s managed to captivate in the process. Fans of quirky romantic satire will find Fanny’s journey irresistible.

  5. The Chocolate Is The Life by Kerri Thomson -

    KINDLEchoclifecoverAbout The Chocolate Is The Life by Kerri Thomson:

    For Frankie MacSweeney, life had never been sweeter.

    Making the decision to move from London to the seaside city of Brighton and open a chocolate shop

    wasn’t easy, but with her best friend Louise by her side and fiancé James on track toward a bright future of his own Frankie finally felt like she had found something she could settle into.

    Of course, as with all good things, she should have known it wouldn’t last.

    When James disappears during an important business trip in the Swiss Alps and Louise starts acting stranger by the day after her big birthday bash, it’s down to Frankie to work out what’s happening while trying to get everything sorted in time for the shop’s grand opening. And as if that weren’t enough on her dessert plate, enter Henry Roberts: the gorgeous and mysterious stranger who might just hold the key to all of it.

    As all signs point to a conclusion that her sensible Scottish mind insists is impossible, especially when it includes a plot for vengeance over one hundred years in the making, Frankie finds herself questioning her own beliefs about life, love, and the truth about English chocolate.

    Author Bio:
    Kerri started writing at a young age, on a wide variety of topics ranging from an illustrated account of the Canadian Constitution at eight to the script for a Christmas pageant at thirteen. In her Grade 12 Creative Writing class, she earned the moniker ‘Kerri King’ for the often macabre tone of her stories.

    In adulthood she all but abandoned the craft but not her creative streak, with job titles that included shop manager for a Gothic and Victorian fetish boutique, and makeup artist in London, England.

    These days when she’s not writing, watching teenaged vampire TV shows or Tweeting about said shows, she can be found in a lab coat testing people’s vision, and enjoying it more than she should when patients thinks she’s their doctor. She enjoys shoes, hair bands from the Eighties and the colour pink.

  7. Can You Really Make Money with Binary Options -

    b6About Can You Really Make Money with Binary Options:

    Trading Binary Options rocks! You can earn between 65% – 85% profit with each trade and it does not require a huge capital base as is the case with treasury bonds and stocks. Most Binary Options platforms online allow users to trade in foreign currencies with as little as $50.00 USD. If you are finding it increasingly difficult to start a business because of the huge capital requirement, consider online Binary Options trading. Some online marketers speak negatively about it and proving them wrong was one of my motivators for writing this book. I seek to encourage the new trader. I am not just a talker but a practitioner of trading Binary Options and I encourage you to either take it up full-time like I have, or part-time to supplement your current income. Investors with speculative tendencies should try the options market, rather then be day traders in the market. Options trading helps limit your losses since the maximum amount you can lose is the premium on options, and not the entire capital you invested.

  9. South Mouth – Hillbilly Wisdom, Redneck Observations & Good Ol’ Boy Logic by Cooter Brown -

    South-Mouth-CoverAbout South Mouth – Hillbilly Wisdom, Redneck Observations & Good Ol’ Boy Logic by Cooter Brown:

    “I really enjoyed reading this book and laughed out loud several times. I cannot recommend it highly enough!”

    ” Funny, delightful, hilarious highly amusing illustrations! Don’t get me started on the book! A great read. Would recommend to anyone!”

    Cooter Brown offers up an unparalleled collection of over 500 examples of Hillbilly Wisdom, Redneck Observations and Good Ol’ Boy logic in “South Mouth”. lt’s a very funny — and often insightful — book.

    In the tradition of rural America (especially the South), we welcome you to come in, sit a spell and sample some of the unique ways we express ourselves. You’ll get a heapin’ helping of “South Mouth”.

    If things aren’t going well: “I’m as bad off as a rubber-nosed woodpecker in a petrified forest.”

    If a co-worker is lazy: “They call him “blister” because he doesn’t show up until the work is done.”

    If the temperature is falling outside: “It’s gonna be colder than a cast iron commode on the shady side of an iceberg.”

    If a job is frustrating: “It’s like trying to nail Jell-O to a tree.”

    If you’ re ready for dinner: “I’ m so hungry I could eat a stink bug off a dead skunk.”

    If someone is less than attractive: “If I had a dog as ugly as him, I’ d shave its butt and make it walk backwards.”

    If your wallet is empty: “If a trip around the world cost a dollar, I couldn’t get to the state line.”

    If you’ re describing a winding road: “The road was so crooked you could see your own tail lights.”

    If someone is acting less than intelligent: “He’ s a seven story buildin’ with a five story elevator.”

    Who knows, maybe you’ll end up spicing up your conversation with some of colorful language and become a “South Mouth” yourself. Or maybe not. Either way, take it from Cooter Brown, “You’ll have a good ol’ time.”

    This Book Makes a Great Gift!

  11. Children’s EBook: DID YOU EVER SAY THANK YOU? (Happy Children’s Series – Book 6 — Sweet Bedtime Story/Picture Book about Blessings, ages 2-6) -

    Cover-3x3-from-1000FAbout Children’s EBook: DID YOU EVER SAY THANK YOU? (Happy Children’s Series – Book 6 — Sweet Bedtime Story/Picture Book about Blessings, ages 2-6) :

    Saying “Thank You” is such a little thing to do, but a big thing to learn to do. And, why would a child want to do it? Well, it makes everybody and everything feel better, especially the child. How many people or things can a child be thankful for today or tonight? This books sets in motion the idea that there are blessings everywhere and it might just be a good idea to notice them.

    “Thank You” are a couple of big words for a young person. But a child is never too young to learn them. What and who to say thank you to? How about anything and maybe everything — the sun, the trees, the flowers, even something you eat, and so much more. Being grateful is a feeling and the beauty of that feeling is that it goes through the one who is being grateful first — everyone benefits. A wonderful lesson for the little ones.

    *The bright colors and happy art of Sally Huss dance across these pages, as do the verses that encourage your child to read along with the story.

    *There are interactive questions at the end of the story to tweak your child’s imagination.

    From the Author:

    I write children’s books to help brighten the lives of children and add a little dollop of wisdom in the process. Children need good habits, handy skills, and a good sense of humor to keep them moving forward in a happy, healthy, and productive manner. As a King Features syndicated author, I have been creating positive and inspirational messages, called “Happy Musings” for newspapers in the U.S. and Canada for many years. This has led to my writing and illustrating a great number of uplifting books for both adults and children. Along with my writing and illustrating, I have created collections of wallpaper for children baby bibs, t-shirts and a vast number of prints and original art for children’s rooms.

    As you can see from the title of this book, it is the seventh in a line of books titled Happy Children’s Series.

    The series includes:

    *THE MERMAID TEA PARTY (about Kindness and Manners) http://amzn.to/L04JrH

    *THE LITTLE LEPRECHAUN WHO LOVED YELLOW! (about Following Your Heart) http://amzn.to/KQHC1K

    Hi, my name is Matthew Braden.

    I’m actually a pretty normal guy, who went through some major challenges in my life, where I finally decided to jump into the self-help industry to turn my life around. I ended up focusing learning as much as I could about in terms of psychology and self-help so that I could change my life and others that I care about.

    I won’t bore you with the details, but I was going through a time where a few years ago I was depressed, broke financially, and extremely unhealthy and out of shape. One night I told my friend, “I’m going to do whatever it takes to change my life, no matter what it takes…”

  13. Five Days of Farkas -

    Five-Days-of-FarkasAbout Five Days of Farkas:

    So there I was, sitting on a bus picking my nose with one hand and scratching my balls with the other, staring out the window at a patch of the ugliest country on God’s own earth. Once, it had been some kind of paradise with rolling hills and green trees and probably unicorns shitting rainbows on the heads of happy little bunnies. Now it was just a scabby patchwork of shotgun shacks, overgrown fields and blasted quarries full of nasty water. I was nursing a hangover and trying my hardest not to think about midgets having sex.

    It wasn’t my fault. Well, the hangover was a little bit my fault, but the midget sex thing I could only blame on the couple across the aisle. Both little people, one a chubby blonde in a white party dress that almost covered her ass, the other a guy in a yellow polyester three-piece suit. He’d had on a green pimp hat when they boarded an hour before, but it had since fallen off to reveal a comb-over so epic I had to give him credit for optimism. They were making out like each other’s stomachs were full of cocaine.

    Seriously, those two were going at it. They had all their clothes on, but I could see Guy Midget’s pecker bulging through the stretch fabric of his suit pants. Girl Midget’s nipples were hard enough to cut paper and pinkly visible through their flimsy covering. While I watched, Guy Midget slid a hand up the white dress. I could imagine him, despite my best efforts, making a few of his short, stubby fingers disappear inside her. Girl Midget moaned and rocked, never unlatching her mouth from the guy’s drooling gob.

    So yeah, I was thinking about midgets having sex. That got me to thinking about having sex with midgets. Judging by the bulge, Guy Midget had a pecker at least the size of a normal man’s, maybe a bit bigger than average. Basic anatomy said Girl Midget couldn’t grow something on the inside to match what Guy Midget or I had dangling on the outside. Her hips weren’t really set up for the change of scale. I’d be afraid of hurting a midget I was having sex with. I wondered if Guy Midget had to take special care when it came time to slide his battleship into dock.

    “For the sake of sweet fuck,” Luie said. He was coming back from the shitter and slapped me on the back of my head with a hand he probably hadn’t washed. “You look ready to slip a dollar in the slot so the wall don’t come down before you finish.” He said it too loud, like he always does when there’s even a tiny chance of pissing somebody off. He sat down, staring straight at the show.

    When neither of them responded, he raised his voice even louder. “I wish this rolling bucket sold popcorn, or maybe one of those disposable cameras.”

    “Come on, Luie,” I muttered. We were finishing up a weekend with more than the usual amount of trouble, even for us. I didn’t mind the trouble, but I had been looking forward to getting some rest on the way back to town.

    “Maybe one of them beer helmets,” Luie was shouting now. He cocked his head to one side and continued.” A little haiku:

    Two midgets shagging

    In a bus seat on the road

    Would one tag me in?”

    It wasn’t his best work. Luie has a gift for poetry when he puts his mind to it, but high verse or not it had its desired effect. Guy midget unlatched himself above and below, slid out of his seat to stand in the aisle. With Luie still sitting down, they were just about eye to eye. “Oi! Bigjobs! You got something to say?”

    herstories-ebook-1About The HerStories Project: Women Explore the Joy, Pain, and Power of Female Friendship by Jessica Smock and Stephanie Sprenger:

    The bonds of women’s friendship can be more intimate than marriage, and just as essential to emotional health. From the childhood friend who broke your heart to the college roommate who witnessed you at your highest and lowest, from the lost friendship that ended bitterly to the devoted companion who is still in your life, from the bond that was forged due to shared grief to the shaky connection born with new motherhood, all women have stories to tell about their friendships. The HerStories Project: Women Explore the Joy, Pain, and Power of Female Friendship is a collection of essays from over 50 women writers, encompassing tales of friendship from the sandbox to the inbox.

    The book includes a foreword from Jill Smokler of Scary Mommy and several chapters on understanding friendship from friendship experts Shasta Nelson and Carlin Flora.

    Hi, my name is Matthew Braden.

    I’m actually a pretty normal guy, who went through some major challenges in my life, where I finally decided to jump into the self-help industry to turn my life around. I ended up focusing learning as much as I could about in terms of psychology and self-help so that I could change my life and others that I care about.

    I won’t bore you with the details, but I was going through a time where a few years ago I was depressed, broke financially, and extremely unhealthy and out of shape. One night I told my friend, “I’m going to do whatever it takes to change my life, no matter what it takes…”

  25. Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence -

    growupAbout Grow Up: A Man’s Guide to Masculine Emotional Intelligence :

    Grow up. Be a man. We’ve all heard that before, and we often get defensive when we hear it. And as modern men we often live our lives on the defensive – struggling in relationships, on the job and often feeling alone to figure it out ourselves.

    In the pages of this book, Owen Marcus leads us along an enlightening path toward the authentic self, one that embraces and respects gender and masculinity. Marcus reveals that men aren’t immature or broken; they just need clarity, purpose, connection and the support of other men.

    Grow Up takes you through 9 stages of growing up where you will discover:

    Why professional success alone does not fulfill

    What may be missing and how to find it

    How we inadvertently self-sabotage and how to stop

    How to honor and attract women as your authentic self

    How to earn and maintain the respect of your peers

    How understanding your own Masculine Emotional Intelligence™ will lead you to a happier, more fulfilling life.

    Author Bio:
    Owen Marcus overcame challenges like Asperger’s and Dyslexia to pursue his passion of helping others to find their box solutions. However, it wasn’t until much later that he understood that in being free to be his own man, he was able to create and fulfill a life he designed.

    Along the way he met a lot of incredible men – incredible men who struggled to create the lives they wanted. Owen observed the patterns in his corporate management and Mindfulness Stress Reduction seminars, and then began working with groups of men to teach them something new: How to be their own man.

    For more than fifteen years, Owen has worked with men’s groups to develop programs that give them the tools and teach them the skills to be successful men, to liberate their strengths, and to live their lives fully and with joy.

    His book Grow Up is not a “self-help book”; it’s a playbook on how to live your own life. Imagine a life where you can dream, love, create and live in the moment with an ease you never thought possible.

    Owen lives his dream in North Idaho, where he practices his art, operates a successful Rolfing practice, and works with male communities and families to develop programs like Free2Win, www.freetowin.co. To learn more about Owen, visit his blog at: www.owenmarcus.com.

    71qh3Wpo8OL._SL1500About The Dresssmaker’s Son by Abbi Sherman Schaefer:

    Two sisters, Rachael and Rebekah, both beautiful, both strong, and both mothers are faced with the most dreaded fear of all – the loss of a child. Rachael’s family comes to America to start a new life after fleeing the pogroms in Russia. Rebekah comes to America with her son, Samuel, fleeing his father, Misha, a Russian soldier with whom she had an affair and has threatened to take him away from her so he will not grow up as a Jew and the son of a cobbler. Set in the Lower East Side of New York and pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg, Russia, both women adjust to life in America until Misha kidnaps Samuel and returns with him to Russia. How Rebekah rises to the challenge of earning enough money as a designer of women’s gowns to return to St. Petersburg to find her son, and the difficulties she encounters while there, including murder and prison, show the reader the full extent of a mother’s ingenuity and determination when it comes to her child. Rachael also faces the possibility of losing a child to war when her son Solomon enlists in the army as America’s entry into World War I approaches.

    Patrolwoman Grace Kimble finds herself drawn into L.A.’s nightmarish vampire underworld in a series of e-book novellas from author Arvin Loudermilk. Forgoing teen romance and gothic supernaturalism, Vigil is part hard-boiled thriller and part crime procedural, mixed with a dash of stark urban horror—a vampire tale built for the real world.

    The books are based on the highly-acclaimed comic book series Vigil which ran from 1992-2000, by Loudermilk and artist Mike Iverson.

    Author Bio:
    Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Arvin Loudermilk hand wrote his first novel—a high school superhero fantasy based embarrassingly, and almost entirely, on himself—at the age of seventeen. A ‘sequel’ followed, but his focus soon turned to the intricacies of comic book writing.

    In May of 1989, Arvin met Mike Iverson, a skilled illustrator and designer, and together they created the comic book series Vigil, a crime fiction epic featuring a gun wielding vampire vigilante. Hot on the heels of a thousand pages of Vigil, they produced a sci-fi comic called Collective.

    In the years that followed, Arvin became more and more convinced that Collective and Vigil would be natural fits in the world of prose. The development process to shift to this new creative platform was long and frustrating, but the end result, an assortment of novels and novellas, began its long-term publishing schedule with the 2012 release of In a Flash.

  31. The Curtain – A Novel -

    THE-CURTAIN_11_forAmazonreadyAbout The Curtain – A Novel:

    Have you met Henry Maddox? He knows you — not personally of course… he really only knows your data. But from that data he actually may know you better than you think you know yourself. Henry knows where you’ve been and what you’ve bought. He knows all of your friends. Henry not only knows your behaviors, he understands your tendencies. And from those tendencies, he can predict what you’re going to do before you’ve actually done it.

    Who is Henry Maddox? He is a 21st century marketing consultant and he specializes in highly personal and irresistibly persuasive advertising.

    Henry’s strategies combine modern data mining (Big Data) techniques with other advanced and controversial marketing practices (Market Fragmentation, Cross Promotion, and Conglomerate Propagandizing) to the point where consumers don’t even know their being sold. Businesses love Henry because he not only moves product, he actually controls their customers.

    But when Henry is forced to face how his techniques affect real people, he realizes he has inadvertently given corporations the power to destroy society for their own ends.

    THE CURTAIN explores the effect that increasingly sophisticated marketing techniques have on communities, families, and individuals. In an age of digital distractions, who remembers the transcendent morality that has allowed past civilizations to prosper? When corporations have the influence and motive to define people by what they consume, are we as individuals losing the substance of who we really are?

    THE CURTAIN is entertaining, fun, thought provoking, educational, and frightening. Ord’s storytelling is brilliant and his research extraordinary. THE CURTAIN is a must read for anyone that watches television or movies, listens to the radio, accesses the internet, logs into social media, has a smart phone, participates in loyalty card programs, or uses GPS technology. In short, THE CURTAIN is for everyone.

    A SAMPLING OF REVIEWS:

An adventure to prove her worth turns into a battle against dark forces determined to harness the wish’s power, as well as the insecurities that arise within the little fairy herself.

    Shea Evenstar must overcome her doubts, fears and apprehensions, but even more so, the painful discovery of a hidden family secret.

    We, WishMakers, all have a WishKeeper assigned to us that protects and guides our wishes toward fulfillment. Teenage, broken-winged Shea is determined to become one.

    Longer Synopsis: We are all assigned a WishKeeper fairy at birth. This WishKeeper tends to, protects and guides every wish we make by supporting its growth, and keeping it happy and healthy. The YA fantasy, The WishKeeper, tells the story of one particular fairy that was never assigned a WishMaker. When her parents destroyed a True Love Wish, the explosion ripped and burned the wings from her back and thus Shea grew up handicapped, bullied and unable to fly. Now a rebellious, tattooed punk, teenage fairy with two mangled wings that draw ugly stares more often than sympathy, Shea’s only chance to prove her worth is to grant a newly made True Love Wish.

    Until the day her family WishMakers, Grayson and Miranda, made a second True Love Wish, Shea was barely a blip on a WishRadar. Despite her disability, anger, resentment and the all-too obvious chips on her shoulders, she knows she is better than any WishKeeper. Sneaking off to the human world with the naïve intent to wrangle a type of wish even the most skilled Keeper barely can, Shea is further annoyed by a WishKeeper recruit, Thane, who is tasked by her military father to babysit her. Through their impossible adventure in a land Shea had only ever dreamed about, she battles the difficult discovery of painful family secrets, a wish-mongering king and his cursed fairies, and the acceptance of her parents’ imperfections much less her own.

    Author Bio:
    A native of Wisconsin, Maximilian Timm grew up in the nation’s circus capital where the local drinking fountains were the opened mouths of lions, a statue of a clown waving from between the legs of a giant elephant was at the center of town, and the Clown Hall of Fame was directly across the street from his house. Because of his father’s athletic roots, Max was raised to be a relative jock and somehow avoided the obvious fantasy world of his little hometown. Upon the age of twelve, however, his father secretly replaced Max’s copy of Mickey Mantle’s autobiography with an unknown writer’s book (unknown to Max, anyway) titled Tom Sawyer. Little did his father know, Max’s dreams of playing shortstop for the Chicago Cubs would slowly shift and evolve into an intention to create stories and maintain a career as a writer. From Twain to Tolkien to C.S. Lewis and Susan Cooper (The Dark is Rising), Max is forever grateful for his father’s equal devotion to athletics and the arts.

    After two years at the Holy Cross College at the University of Notre Dame, swimming through a Liberal Arts major and watching football, Max discovered the art of filmmaking and transferred to Columbia College Chicago. He majored in screenwriting and producing at Columbia, and eventually found himself dizzy within the entertainment capital, Los Angeles. After multiple assistant positions at film distribution and advertising companies, Max stumbled upon Writers Boot Camp (WBC) in Santa Monica, CA. Graduating from its Professional Membership in 2007, Max was asked to stay with WBC as a Membership Coordinator and Instructor. After six years, working his way up to Creative Director and Director of Development, Max worked with thousands of writers on their screenplays and novels, as well as personally consulted A-List celebrities.

    Both a screenwriter and novelist, Max has created a lifelong relationship with writing. His focus is within the realms of Middle Grade and Young Adult fiction, as well as movies geared toward family entertainment. He still believes James Howe’s Bunnicula series is one of the finest middle grade series ever written, and that Mr. Howe’s book, “The Celery Stalks at Midnight”, may very well be the best book title ever created. Currently living in a 100 year-old Craftsmen in the oldest neighborhood of Los Angeles, Max immerses himself in books and screenplays while secretly longing to move to the woods.

    I-35_BrettSelmontAbout I-35:

    “I-35 is a nail-biter of a road novel that crosses into the darkest territories of the soul. Brett Selmont brings serious game to this riveting thriller, and it takes some turns you absolutely will not see coming. Buckle up!”

    Jonathan Maberry, NYT’s Bestseller, Pine Deep Trilogy, Extinction Machine, multiple Bram Stoker award winner

    “London, Steinbeck and Kerouac all wrote books with highways running through them. By venturing into horror and the supernatural, Selmont charts a new direction for this classic form. “I-35″ takes the reader on a trip into madness and damnation but you’ll be glad to have gone along for the ride.”

    William Hjortsberg, NYT’s Bestseller, Falling Angel (Angel Heart)

    “Tough, incisive, evocative, adroit, tough. Selmont takes you on a genuinely gripping journey down a highway that will inspire you to lock your car as automatically as you buckle your seat belt. You’ve been waiting for this one…a nifty piece of work by a talented writer.”

    John Lutz, NYT’s Bestseller, Single White Female, multiple Edgar & Shamus award winner

    I-35 is the story of David, a loner in his late 20s from New York City who suffers from blackout migraines and has a penchant for painkillers. He wakes one morning, freezing in the backseat of his car, 1,500 miles from home, with no idea how he got there. After hearing a horrifying voicemail, he embarks on a harrowing journey through America’s heartland, searching for his estranged brother and his brother’s wife, while attempting to piece together his own fractured memory. Along the road, David meets a cast of strange and disturbing characters who become suspects in his clouded and paranoid mind. And just as the clues and dead bodies begin to add up; a chance encounter at a seedy Oklahoma diner leads him to Shawna–a beautiful girl, shrouded in mystery, who escorts him down a vertiginous path to the end of the I-35 highway…where a shocking truth is revealed.

    One breathtakingly hot, passion-filled, night ignites a fire in his soul. Everything in his world should be nothing short of perfection…but he is Rainer Lawson.

    His wild evening with Emily is the Realm’s front-page story. Could he have lost the respect of the man that has been like a father to him? Could his family’s hard-earned fortune really dissolve before his very eyes?

    Evil rapidly cinches its chokehold, and everything his father fought and died for threatens to implode. Rainer attempts to protect those that he loves and satisfy the fiery passions between he and Emily, but everything in his world is spinning wildly out of control. His desire to prove himself could very well be his undoing.

    Sometimes the best of intentions are not enough, but perhaps it is the trials by fire that make the man. Steel sharpens steel, and passion burns white hot in “Lessons Learned.”

    Small-Folk-Rhymes-Pt.2About Small Folk Rhymes Part 2, Fun + Activities by Christine Larsen:

    If you enjoyed my first e-book for children, ‘Small Folk Rhymes’, there are laughs, riddles and mental activities to play with in Part 2, further exploring the same animals and characters you met and loved already. But don’t despair if you don’t have a copy of the first one. Part 2 can stand on its own… but be warned, you will probably find yourself wanting to own both.
    Maybe you wish to learn more about Echidnas and why they are ‘not kidding’. Or think about the many and varied footwear that go under the category of shoes… even the ‘One Lonesome’ variety.
    With a focus on colours and sounds, and an almost ‘I Spy’ approach to searching more carefully through my words, this is a book to provide entertainment and subtle education of the humorous kind.
    The rhymes and jokes are accompanied by clipart and actual photos to enhance the mental pictures a small mind may create, and the suggested sounds and voices are bound to delight the ‘tall’ out-loud reader as much as the early reader, just beginning along the path to becoming a besotted bookworm.

    I am Christine – a wife, mother, grandmother, and throughout each of these also a farmer for 40+ years.
    I’m a ‘used to be’ – Secretary, Lifeline Telephone Counsellor, Community Careworker, Student Mentor, and Tutor.
    Today I’m a born-again writer, after successfully completing a respected writing course back in the 1970′s. One of my markers of that time suggested – ‘I fear for your work at the hands of hard-nosed editors who regard all love as sentimental nonsense’. He was right. I couldn’t handle the rejections of my story submissions, and put my creations aside, believing I had an over-inflated opinion of my work, and actually had no talent. Despite this, once in a while over the years, I would fan the embers and try again… with the same result.
    Success and recognition came at last a couple of years ago thanks to my creations on Squidoo and Ezine Articles, when a different writing career than I had envisaged began. An online journal led to my own website, and the recent creation of my booksite, ceedee4kids dedicated to my children’s stories. At last all paths have led me to self-publishing success with my series of children’s e-books, and the first book in a series of farming memoirs now in its final editing stages – to be published as soon as I can wrap my head around the requirements of submission to Smashwords, my latest giant learning curve.
    Several more children’s books are also in various stages – one quite close to fruition, others ‘out there’ in the world of submissions of different kinds, and even more still in my ‘think tank’ or in their roughest draft forms.

    This adult historical fiction is a seafaring adventure meant to entertain both the sailor and the landlubber.

    The Cap’n invites you into his story:

    “I am Captain Nathanael Blackthorne. Please defer your accolades regarding me legend and accomplishments to another day. Instead, I pray you will allow me to present “The Pirate Captain,” a historical novel about meself—I blush—and one Cate Mackenzie, through whom’s eyes this story is told. Since the day I had the misfortune of kidnapping her—wrong person, easy mistake, you understand—and she lay shivering and puking on me deck, me life has gone arsey-turvey. She is, however, a woman with savvy and grit. Both are necessary for what Providence is about to bestow upon her as I take her on a journey of revenge against an unholy alliance of two corrupted men.”

    “Kerry Lynne was a history major in college and went into teaching. That didn’t work, so she had two office careers. That didn’t work either. Through a circuitous sequence of events, she wound up in the decorative painting world, where she traveled taught and published for some 30 years. And then her hand wouldn’t work. So she went back to what she knew: writing, history and sailing.”

    Comparing Nathanael Blackthorne to Jack Sparrow is inevitable. What other pirate has there been in pop culture for the last 60 years? They are similar, by way of both are pirates and captains in the West Indies, but Kerry hopes the reader will find a vast difference. Nathan is more lethal and unforgiving, because his life has been far rougher.

    Kerry, nor any of her colleagues have been able to find another work that resembles or compares to The Pirate Captain. It’s not a bodice-ripper romance and it’s not a Treasure Island wannabe. If there had to be a comparison, it would have to be Pirates of the Caribbean meets Master and Commander, with not an “argh!” being uttered.

    Luckily, Cate, the main character, is a lousy sailor, so sailing is related at a level that the landlubber should be able to comprehend. In many places, if you don’t understand a sailing term check out the glossary provided at www.piratecaptain.net (for not only the nauticalese, but some of the 18th Century turns of the tongue).

    Good, bad or indifferent, Kerry would love to hear what you think send her a PM.

    Sticks-coverAbout In Search of Sticks:

    In Search of Sticks simultaneously challenges the intellect while surfacing raw emotional response. James, by the standards one generally uses to measure a life, is accomplished. Still, he twists. What if, in the final analysis, it ends up being as much about that which wasn’t done rather than just what was acted upon? Paths are chosen. Steps are taken.
    A Parallel story unfolds—Hope’s African existence. It was emphatically stated that “God does not have favorites.” But is this true? A picture is painted and its canvas is littered with the likenesses of disease and poverty and the images of those trapped in the geography of violence. Despite the forms of tragedy that present themselves, this story is full of hope. The victories are told in the small tales and the sheer numbers who do not sell their souls.

    It has been described as a “stunningly beautiful novel that weaves two tales of isolation.”

    By the author of The Catalyst and Rebel Alliances
    Captain Nova Whiteside, on a brand new assignment to help rid the Commonwealth Union of Planets from a growing rebel force, is teamed up with Tychon, a straight-laced Vanguard commander. His opinion of Humans, and of subordinate officers, is less than stellar.

    Their pursuit of a ruthless rebel leader takes them through the worlds and dangers of the Centauri-occupied Targon sector where the line between their personal lives and their mission quickly begins to blur.

    On their quest to recover a dangerous, living weapon in rebel hands it seems that the greatest opposition comes from among their own people and Nova must choose between duty to her Command and loyalty to her friends.

    I am a first generation Canadian currently and out of necessity residing on planet Earth (which, in the general and interplanetary scheme of things could REALLY use a catchier name, if you ask me. I mean, imagine heading past Proxima Centauri and someone asks you whence you came and you tell them “dirt”. All theological implications aside, that just won’t do.)

    My first full-length work of fiction, Gods of Chenoweth, is a fantasy which, I just realized, takes place on a planet that doesn’t have a name at all and blurs the line between sci-fi and fantasy in ways that are probably illegal.

    I then headed out far beyond Proxima Centauri and found a nifty story that soon turned into a Space Opera complete with wormholes and improbable laser guns. What fun. Laws of physics need not really apply if you find a plausible way to explain them away.
    The series stars Nova Whiteside as a space marine whose pesky humanity keeps getting in the way of her doing her job according to protocol.
    Currently, there are three books in the series, with two more planned.

    When not finding ways to torture my subjects or entice them with inter-species hanky-panky, I design web sites or write about designing web sites. I enjoy long walks on the beach or, given the local beach shortage, write about beaches far beyond Proxima Centauri.

    Author Bio:
    Eunice Lavelle wanted to put a different spin on an issue that is on many people’s minds. She has used real life events but has used Americans as protagonists instead of the more obvious choices. It is a labor of love that she hopes will be provocative and entertaining.

    Surviving Primary School! – The essential self esteem guide…
    I was always an outstanding athlete. I was the class champion at sprinting; my room was bursting with trophies…

    This happened in grade 5. All of us still looked and sounded like young kids when I, and only I, started to develop a ‘phenomenon’:

    I suddenly started to grow hairs on my arms and on my legs. This was thick black hair that you couldn’t help noticing.

    I had become hairy!

    It was hot outside, and the regional sports competition was coming soon. It sounded like great fun, but for me it was a nightmare.

    Just the thought of our team sports kit (the shortest possible running short and a skimpy vest) made me feel sick.

    I didn’t know what to do. How could I let everyone see my hairy body in those shorts, and in a sleeveless vest???

    Interested to read what happened next?
