This summer of twenty-six, I will celebrate my 19th creative writing anniversary. During all these years I've been privileged to write and publish many books which are all available exclusively on all Amazon sites. Let me tell you about some of my publications.
The genre of my most recent publication is memoir, appropriately titled, "Almost Time to Leave". I began writing this manuscript in early 2024. The writing has been slow-going because I find memoir writing very challenging. I approached the project with much procrastination. I am feeling gratitude that I had the opportunity to finish my story.
Completing the writing of "Almost Time to Leave" was most important to this author. All my publications have been important to me, but this one especially so. This writing was of benefit to me. I hope the reading will be of benefit to another.
Very recently, in 2024, I was blessed to enjoy my entrance into the world of books for children.
"One Day With Misty" .... My newest venture into the world of books for children! From the moment she awakens, Misty shares her story. It's not easy to be sent to a shelter in your old age. She's happy to share the experience with Orange Cat, but feels lonely when he is soon adopted. Finally, she finds her forever home. Oh, the trials of trying to train a new owner! But Misty prevails and this story book for young readers has a very happy ending. "One Day With Misty" is for the young and for the young at heart.
Very young readers will love "Elephant and the Bumbly Bee" and also "The Last Drop". For readers 10 years of age to adult, you will love "Beyond the Blue".
"Shhh! We Don't Talk About That" is comprised of metaphysical, spiritual, and paranormal memories that I am pleased to share with my readers.
"POartRY and Prose" is the first book in a series. Just as its title suggests this publication is comprised of several of my many paintings displayed with my poetry and prose. "More POartRY and Prose" has been recently released and it is the second book in this series. I am currently working on the third in this series and it will be titled "POartRY and Prose the Third".
"STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light" is a science-fiction novel. Mother Earth can take no more. It's a sad day when a mother must give up on her children. Like the phoenix, the spirit and the environment of earth rise leaving behind destruction and devastation. The chosen seven are truly amazed when they discover why they have been rescued.
I wrote two novels during the isolation caused by the covid pandemic. One was "STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light" The other was titled "The Observer - His Eye Is on the Sparrow".
"The Observer - His Eye Is On The Sparrow" is a story of three generations of women, yet the story of two souls. Karina, Anna, and Karen, three very different personalities yet each, while dealing with her own struggles, continues to repeat family patterns. This story, begun in a NaNoWriMo adventure will touch your emotions and leave you with a smile. The settings of Bangalore, India and Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada share little in common; each offering its own colour and character. This is my first novel to focus on religion; in this instance the religions of Christianity and Hinduism.
"No Place to Lay Her Head ... a handful of moments" is available in paperback and Kindle editions on Amazon. In this book I share my journey through grief since the death of my partner, Brian. This book is cathartic but I hope of benefit to anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one.
Short story titled "The Man On The Bench" is a metaphysical delight. It is one of many short stories that dare to stand alone in the Kindle site.
You will also want to check out "DRAMA - a Novel Idea" which is a boxed set of my most popular novels: "Moose Road - a Canadian Tragedy"; "Ellen and The Hummingtree"; and "Sara, a Canadian Saga". While individual novels are available in both paperback & Kindle formats; DRAMA is available in Kindle format only.
"Simply BE" is a collection of inspirational thoughts, quotations, and sayings, that I hope will offer the reader inspiration and guidance. This book is currently used as an aid in meditation and healing circles and will, I hope, inspire you to be who you really are.
My first book of poems is titled "Poetry From A to Z" is followed by "POartRY and PROSE" & "MORE POartRY & PROSE".
"Dinner At Seven" is, I'm excited to announce, my fifteenth book but also my very first romance novel.
Crabapple Court is a mystery story in novella format. Susie Donnelly is missing. Has she run away? Is it a kidnapping? A murder?
"Beyond The Blue" is a coming-of-age novella in which a child finds a magical, mystical way to deal with bullying. This novella is also in both Paperback and Kindle format. More recently this book has been published in audio book format narrated by Earl Sewell and available on Amazon, Itunes, and Audibles.
"When God Gives Us Spring" is a story of love, hate & revenge that takes place pre and during civil war in the U.S. This novella is available in paperback, kindle, and audio book format.
"Recompense" is a recent novella that explores "older" people in the "new world" of chat room dating. A bit of a farce this one provides some enjoyable reading.
Prior to these publications I was kept busy with the creation, compilation and publication of a trilogy of anthologies containing short stories which keep the focus on social issues.
The books are titled "SOCIAL STUDIES - Book One - Dying To Be Popular"; "Book Two - Shattered and Broken"; "Book Three - Weaving Alice". These thirty-six stories will make you laugh; make you cry; and certainly make you simply wonder at the human condition as it is experienced by many in our modern contemporary world.
"Keeping It Simple", the trinity of meditation, the seven major chakras and psychospiritual therapy, is available in both Kindle and Paperback Format on all Amazon sites. It is my hope that one day I will have learned enough to narrate this book and transform it into an audio book.
My first novel, "Sara, a Canadian Saga", is available in paperback and kindle formats. It has been released as my first audio book; written by yours truly; narrated by Falon Echo; and the cover design by Susan RK of Yuneekpix dot com. This audio book is available on Amazon; Audibles; and ITunes.
I'm thrilled to announce that "When God Gives Us Spring" is my second book to be released as an audio book. This audio book is written by yours truly; narrated by Earl Sewell; and the beautiful cover design is by Susan RK of Yuneekpix dot com It is available on Amazon; Audibles; and ITunes.
Currently five of my many books are available in audiobook format. These five are "Sara, a Canadian Saga", When God Gives Us Spring", "Reawakening", "Moose Road, a Canadian Tragedy", and "Beyond the Blue".
Whether you choose my poetry; an anthology; one of my novels, a novella, or a short story I hope you enjoy your reading experience.
Thank you to my readers. I much appreciate your encouragement and your support. I hope you know that your positive reviews are much needed and very welcome.
