Belinda’s thoughts about being positive brought tears to my eyes. When I think of all she is going through and yet she has the will and capacity to remain positive. I am humbled by her example. For those of you who do not know about her struggle, here’s a link to a newspaper article about her: http://www.bramptonguardian.com/news-story/3901362-tick-bite-changes-cannington-woman-s-life-and-not-for-the-better/. Belinda has Lyme Disease and is fighting for appropriate treatment so she can regain her health. Please pray for her treatment and recovery and be sure to follow her blog. She is the most generous and kindest blogger I have the honor to know.

“The Seed” a novel by Helen Valentina – Now Available on Lulu.com!
Hi Everyone ! As promised, below you will find the links to the paperback and ebook versions of my first novel The Seed.
Over the next couple of months it will be available also on Amazon – both paperback and eventually kindle version, Apple and Nook, in global distribution. I’ll keep you up to date if any of these are preferred points of purchase. :)
In the meantime, the description of the novel is below. It is a romance, essentially, but has a dark and ambiguous undertow, which will surprise none of you familiar with my poetry!
I hope if you choose to purchase that you enjoy the novel and I’d welcome your feedback. :)
Book Description
Sara Fraser, a solitary artist, is haunted by her dreams of a past life where she is deeply in love—a concept and experience foreign to her waking existence. Just as she is becoming…

A Spotlight on Briana Vedsted, blogger, author, and all-around sweet person, hosted at the Legends of Windemere. Read on!
Raise your hand if you’ve been fortunate to meet this phenomenal blogger. I see a lot of hands and that’s as it should be. Briana is one of the kindest bloggers I have ever met and definitely a bright spot on WordPress. Her blog is filled with character interviews, her ranching tales, her publishing journey, poetry (a recent addition), and a vast array of posts that are always informative and entertaining. Her stories range from Western to Werewolf fantasy, so one can be sure that she’s an author to keep an eye on. She does so much for those around her that I think it’s high time she gets a spotlight.
Everyone go visit Briana’s blog by clicking on her picture. Also, go and buy her Western short stories in preparation for her first traditionally published book, Me & Billy the Kid. Click on the cover to get to…

Help a young fashion designer make it on the gritty streets of NYC. She’s got talent and a fantastic eye for color and style. And you get some pretty good swag for your support :)
Year 'Round Thanksgiving Project
My lovely and talented daughter will be showing her spring/Summer 2014 collection at New York Fashion Week. She has launched an Indiegogo campaign to help her create the best collection ever. There is great swag available for sponsors. But even $5 helps (it all adds up). If you want to help a new fashion designer make her mark in NYC just go here. There are also lots of pictures to see her work.
Thank you.
Her very proud momma. -
Vote for Kate in her quest to become a Penguin Wayfarer!

Let’s just, for a moment, overlook the fact that Grandpa, in that classic first make of Roald Dahl’s Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, is not the one who has won the golden ticket.
He’s happy.
In fact, the ticket winner is little Charlie. Cheer-up Charlie. Charlie, against whom the odds were stacked so high they must surely have crushed him. Charlie, who stood for honest-to-goodness integrity in the face of gluttony, avarice and greed. Whilst others got their parents and promoters to spend outrageous sums for the one thing they could not have automatically, Charlie relied on fate to bring the golden ticket to him.
But we all join Grandpa in being elated. In incredulity that finally, just perhaps, the tide of unfortunate events might be about to change.
And of course, for Grandpa, and for Charlie, life was about to alter forever.
This does not happen in real…

Get Beginning of a Hero now for just 99 cents. The ebook costs far less than a tall skinny vanilla latter and is far more satisfying!
Yesterday, I decided to put Beginning of a Hero back at .99 cents. The higher royalty was nice, but it wasn’t selling. With this price, I can continue creating the foundation that I need for the other books. After doing research I came to three conclusions:
- There will always be people that think a book is wrongly priced. It will either be too high for the quality or too low. You can’t please everyone.
- When it comes to self-publishing, you really can’t judge a book by its price. Judge it by the description, cover, and sample.
- The first book of a series staying at .99 cents is fairly common and is a proven practice. I should stick with my research and my gut on this.
So, click on the cover below to visit the Amazon site or be kind enough to reblog.

Please help out a wonderful young writer and friend. She needs to sell 100 copies of her ebooks by July 1. They are available on Amazon for 99 cents each. Just a sip of a tall skinny vanilla latte costs more than that.
