Paperback Cover


STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light

 


With 78,696 words written, the second rewrite of STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light is complete.  

The chosen seven, earthlings of diverse culture and ancestry, stand together atop the mountain. From where they gather, they can view the old brown boat in the water below.

Their journey has been long but it is far from over.  

They have learned that "the seed of violence can reap only a harvest of desolation and that from the parched clay can grow no living thing." - Gospel of Peace, Book two.

Still, as they travel, they have much more to learn.

Today I begin the third, and possibly the final, rewrite before beginning the challenge of formating and making the pages ready for publication.

Watch for the Amazon release of STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light.

In the meantime I hope you will check out and enjoy my many other publications available exclusively on Amazon.  You will find my author's page at https://amazon.com/author/audreyaustin

74,639 words later, the first re-write of STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light
is complete.  Carley, Maria, Emily, Joseph, Bernard, Connie, and John, have just ended the most magical, mystical, emotional, and spiritual experience of their lives.

Thankfully, I was usually able to keep up with the characters, and they all took me along for the ride.

Tomorrow, being Sunday, I will relax and prepare myself to get back to work on Monday to begin the final re-write before I start the task of formatting.

STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light is a metaphysical/spiritual/science-fiction novel in which the motley crew of seven reach for the stars and, thanks to a lot of help along the way, manage to find their way home once again.

It is my hope that this story will be ready for publication early spring of 2021, if not before.

In the meantime, I hope you will check out my many publications found exclusively on Amazon.  My author's page is found at https://amazon.com/author/audreyaustin

These are my 19 publications available exclusively on Amazon.

STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light will be my 20th publication.

During these stay-at-home days of Covid-19, books can be your best friends.

Keeping It Simple -- Imagine Being Whole --- free this weekend in the Kindle Store

 




Keeping It Simple - Imagine Being Whole  - From Friday, January 22nd to Sunday, January 24th, this book is free for your reading enlightenment and enjoyment in the Kindle Store.  Check it out at my author's page:  https://amazon.com/author/audreyaustin


Keeping It Simple - Imagine Being Whole is an exploration of the trinity which is Meditation, the Seven Major Chakras and Psychospiritual Therapy.

When I put together the pages of Keeping It Simple my thought was that, if this book helps one person in this chaotic world, I will feel I have accomplished a job well done. I was unprepared for the number of people who have contacted  me and told me that the reading of this book for them has been positively life-changing. For this I am happy and I am grateful.

Here are a couple of reviews  by readers.


I have this book in its original form and downloaded onto my Kindle. Of the two,
 I prefer the hard copy, as it can  be tucked beside a sofa cushion for easy 
access.

Audrey Austin knows her topic, and presents it in straight-forward, 
uncomplicated terms. As a person, and as a writer, Austin shines with sensitivity
-- honestly and without pretense.
This slender book is a gem!

4.0 out of 5 stars Get in Touch with Your Inner Energy to Find Your Balance
Reviewed in the United States 
As a practitioner of yoga and meditation, Keeping It Simple: Imagine Being 
Whole by Audrey Austin intrigued me.
 Austin explores and explains each of the chakras in easy to understand terms
 complete with exercises to get the reader in touch with the individual chakras. 
She simplifies the mysticism surrounding the chakras and gives the reader a 
sense of the power of paying attention to one's chakras as well as the 
role each chakra plays in balancing one's energy and therefore one's life. 
Anyone looking for a better understanding of the basic idea of chakras or even
 those just interested in better understanding why they feel more balanced after
 yoga and/or meditation will find Austin's Keeping It Simple: Imagine
 Being Whole helpful and interesting.

Keeping It Simple - Imagine Being Whole  is free this weekend in the Kindle Store.

First draft of STRUGGLE - To Reach the Bridge of Light is complete

 I'm happy to say that STRUGGLE, To Reach The Bridge of Light, has now reached a word total of 61,575 words. The first draft is complete. Now I begin the joy and the hard work of transforming this first draft into a work of fiction that I hope my readers will want to read.

From Google, I quote. "What does let there be light mean?
The phrase comes from the third verse of the Book of Genesis. In the King James Bible, it reads, in context: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. ... And God said, Let there be light: and there was light."
The seven human characters have come alive in STRUGGLE while the three mystical beings make their power known. The seven humans do struggle, and they search, and they each do see the light. And they begin their journey to reach the bridge of light.
STRUGGLE To Reach The Bridge of Light is a spiritual/science fiction. I'm not sure if there is such a genre, but if there wasn't, there soon will be.
What a great way to spend these days of isolation.
