I was a cheerleader in high school for our senior football team and I loved it!  Getting out early for the Friday afternoon games; pumping up the fans along the sidelines; screaming out the cheers; and doing cartwheels  out into the field when we scored.  It was great to be a part of it all especially knowing we were making a difference to team morale and fan support.  I’ve recently acquired a cheerleader for my  team – my team of me.  Always supportive and…

Navigating the Maelstrom

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That makes sense because what is seen as beautiful through one set of eyes may look totally different through another. My mother loved the color green. Anything green was beautiful to her. My favorite color growing up was orange. Mom and I sometimes had very different ideas of what looked attractive. Then in college I discovered the beauty of blue…

With Valentine’s Day soon here, thoughts naturally turn to love.  If unattached, you may be dismayed by the whole brouhaha that is this day with its focus on romantic love and couples.  Despair not!  Self-love and care is just as important and needs as much attention as its more famous sister. Go ahead and pamper yourself on this day.  Loving yourself is the first big step to bringing out the best in you.  And don’t be surprised if you start noticing some admirers…

Some of us may not have heard of these terms: lightworkers, reincarnated angels or star-seeds.  The latter is brand-new for me as I was prompted to google the term and find a whole society of people who believe they are not actually of this earth but are here nevertheless to fulfill their unique, selfless purpose.  I am fascinated by the fact that many people seek to find and know themselves, and their relationship to this world.…

Hello all;

Today I was talking to another writer friend of mine. We had got talking about our readers opinions and how they can affect an overall project. Brutal honesty is what we had decided to call the topic of coversation and it had me thinking a bit about my lastest book, A Maiden's Hell.

I was adopted out at a young and had also known about it from a young age as well. So when I finally met my Biological Mother in '06 I was searching for a topic to write about, that where…

I’ve spoken of my Dad a few times in the course of writing to you but have yet to mention my Mom.  Today she was part of Living Library, an event held at the Canadian War Museum  and three library branches in Ottawa. When Irena Szpak was still a young girl, she was an underground messenger during the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 – she told her story to the person who “borrowed her” for half an hour before others did the same over the course of four hours.  There…

 I'm so sorry about the duplicate intoduction people, I thought that my first one didn't go through. I'll learn for next time.

 Erica Colt, to the entire outside world is a picture of perfection. She is beautiful, well mannered, easy going and has a firm religious background. It would seem from a young age that Miss Colt had grown to be quite popular, but what people didn't realize was all of her fawned traites didn't matter to her, for inside she was tormented. For she held a secret that she was forced to keep throughout the duration of her life. This secret that she held deep inside would soon seep out and…

Consistency

When you think of the word what kind of associations come to mind? Consistency of flavor, texture, service, and performance, are words that I think of. I once worked on an advertising campaign designed to highlight the quality of a beverage, and our theme was, “Consistency makes a champion!” Certainly in our food products and in life in general, we tend to enjoy and even expect consistency.

Do you expect, and deliver…

A letter F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote in 1933 to his 11-year-old daughter ended with "a list of things to worry about, not worry about, and simply think about."  I went through that charming and revealing list, and thought it would be worthwhile to share with you.  How wonderful to have such a Dad.  How wonderful that we can take a peek at that list today. It can be found here: (…

Lost

Military secrets, corruption, greed, international intrigue; tenderness, human frailty, devotion, and loyalty. All of these describe Lost by E.G. Lewis. A wide and varied cast of characters are intricately woven together in this very satisfying mystery that is a follow up to Promises. However, Lost totally stands on its own two feet, and although some characters from the first book make an appearance, it is not necessary to read book one in order to enjoy…

Tebow!

To our readers outside the U.S., that may seem like an odd title. “What’s a Tebow?” To those in the States it has become a familiar refrain. “Tebow” of course stands for Tim Tebow, the quarterback for the Denver Broncos football team. “Tebow” is not just his name, but the name given to Tim’s practice of kneeling on one knee with head bowed when he thanks the Lord for something that has happened. Because this often takes place on the side line of the football…
