Ringing in the year with a Freebie!


HAPPY NEW YEAR! WELCOME 2013!!!

I'm ringing in the New Year by offering the Kindle version of my novel VADA FAITH for free Jan. 1-2 at Amazon. Remember if you don't have a kindle you can download a free reading app at Amazon and take advantage of the free books they offer daily. I've downloaded a bunch for reading in the coming weeks. LOVE free stuff, especially books!

The author is available for interviews, book signings, and to talk about Vada Faith and her other work which has appeared in Women’s World, the Dispatch, the Plain Dealer, Christian Science Monitor & other places. One of her stories was produced by British Broadcasting Corp. 
Her book of short stories is now on Kindle at Amazon, titled Ezra and Other Stories.
Barbara is at work on a Vada Faith sequel, titled Sweet Baby James. 

PS I hope you'll forgive me for recycling my material. And photos. I've spent this afternoon learning how to download photos the "right" way as opposed to my copying and pasting which doesn't always work. Blessing to you and yours in the coming year.

    I'm so glad you learned to post pictures. It is easy. My problem with my blog now is that I've used up my 'free' amount of pictures that I can have.So unless I copy and paste, I can only post a very few more pictures on my blog. I guess I just need to stop being so cheap and pay for more space :o)

    Dear Barb. Thanks so much for stopping by the other day. I haven't forgotten you, or your wonderful stories that I told you I started--read the first one and like it very much. I will finish the collection. You have to be patient with me. You say you have health issues. I know about this with my daughter; that's my excuse for being so slow with reading, and writing. As you know, I LOVED Vada Faith, and am so excited to hear there will be a sequel. Do let me know when it's published!!

    Thanks for all your lovely comments. Yes, still health problems robbing me of my writing time. Hopefully I'll get back on track now!
    Have a great week end everyone and enjoy each moment of every day.
    Blessings.

MY HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE...

Wednesday, March 16, 2011 High School - Poca High School, Putnam County, WV What year was it? Fall 1960 - Spring 1963 What were your favorite bands, or singers? Sam Cook, Chubby Checker, Conway Twitty (It's only make believe), Johnny Rodriquez. Meatloaf. ELvis. What was your favorite outfit? Straight skirts, blouses, cardigans or jackets, little heels. Other Outfits? Jeans and a white Dr. Ben Casey shirt. What was up with your hair? Everything. I put peroxide on it. Lemon juice, thinking it needed to be lighter. I cut it, styled it, put it in a pony tail or a french twist. Hair was the most important thing in my life in high school. And hair spray, the stiffer the better. Who were your best friends? Patti Jones, Karen Mattox, and Susie Bailey all thru elem school. Then added on Donna Dailey, Sharon "Mouse" Hackett and Janice Wick and many others. Also Bonnie Kerwood who was older than me and lived near me so we hung out listening to records after schoo...

Dear Critique Partner/Build it first/

Dear Critique Partner: In regards to recent criticism of your work, remember this: when we give a piece of our story to someone to read - we expect them to see the whole. It's like building a house and giving someone a single piece of lumber. “Here, see the house I'm building.” SOME CAN SEE IT AND SOME CAN’T. This step is as necessary to me as breathing. I need to give you single boards as I create them. AND I expect you to be a visionary and say, “Why yes. I see.” (EVEN if you don't!) I need you to see how special the piece of lumber is that I'm using and to see that eventually I'll add more pieces to make the whole. Choose people to read your work who like the kind of stories you write. Then, they'll appreciate the pieces. There are as many kinds of stories as there are houses to live in. If you give a brick ranch to someone who only appreciates a high rise he'll have a hard time fitting himself into what you are offering. Don’t rebuild your stor...

WHERE IS THE REAL MR. VERIZON???

I have spent much time since the beginning of July trying to get through the process of getting a rebate from Verizon, you know, the company that sells communication supplies and services. Mostly they sell supplies for which they offer very little service. And the service is sketchy at best. I guess I sound miffed. Ummm, yep, I am. First, I called Verizon about my slow wifi service. We live in the country and don't get great reception. I've limped along with the box (modem)  I had for a couple of years. When I called the first time, the tech told me I needed a new box and an upgrade and to agree to a new two year contract. Okay. Yep I was in. For just $30 she would ship a new box that would provide me with faster service. I got the upgraded box in two days and was singing the praises of Mr. Verizon. Yay. I was going to be up and going and could google everything and anything I wanted. I could shop, ebay, go to Snopes to my heart's content, facebook, twitter, pinterest...
