Is your belief system full of statements such as, <i><span style="font-family: Times;">“If I only had . . . . then I would be happy?”</span></i> The problem is life continually shows us that achieving specific goals invariably does not make us happy; or maybe it only makes us happy for a short while, before we start looking for the next thing we need to be happy.

In case you don't know him, Eldon's a <i><span style="font-family: Times;">NY Times</span></i> best selling author who's considered to be one of the world's experts on preconscious thinking (those thought processes that appear to happen automatically). Lots of people just think of him as the 'mind expert.' Anyway, he developed the patented InnerTalk technology that has been researched by many independent universities and institutions (such as Stanford University) and been repeatedly demonstrated effective at changing your self-talk. Your self-talk—that non-stop chatter that goes on in your mind, is a reflection of your inner beliefs and it is these beliefs that really dictate how happy (or discontented) you are.</span></div><div style="line-height: 13.0pt; margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: .1pt; text-indent: 8.1pt;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 13.0pt; margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: .1pt; text-indent: 8.1pt;"><a href="http://www.parpromos.com/pp/it/14d/im..." imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img align="right" alt="he Master Secret: Happiness is Success" border="0" src="http://www.parpromos.com/pp/it/14d/im..." height="202" width="152" /></a><span style="font-size: 8.5pt;">Stop and think about it for a second. When you're having a bad day, your self-talk will go along the lines of: <i><span style="font-family: Times;">“I am tired and fed-up. I can't wait 'til I go home. I hate this job. But when I get home I still have all my chores to do. I'm just fed up.”</span></i> With this kind of self-talk, no wonder you're feeling down. But just imagine if this self-talk went along the lines of: <i><span style="font-family: Times;">“This is fun. I love my job. My colleagues are so much fun and I am glad to be working on this project with them. I love my life! I can't wait to share with my family.”</span></i> If this was your self-talk, your expectation of the world would change. <b><span style="font-family: Times;">Expectation precedes perception,</span></b> and consequently our attitudes and behavior. You have the power to change, and InnerTalk makes this process easy!</span></div><div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: .1pt; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Times;">Change your life today! </span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><br /> <a href="http://www.parpromos.com/pp/it/14d/in..." target="_blank"><b><span style="font-family: Times;">Click here for more information.</span></b></a></b></div><div align="center" style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: .1pt; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="line-height: 13.0pt; margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: .1pt; text-indent: 8.1pt;"><span style="font-size: 8.5pt;">Eldon has released his amazing </span><b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #df641c; font-family: Times;">The Master Secret: Happiness is Success</span></i></b><span style="font-size: 8.5pt;"> collection, a program designed to bring you the inner happiness that is necessary for you to be truly successful, and it is at an unheard of low, low price!

L Leads The Way

This blogging the alphabet has been rather a learning experience. It's interesting how many words the letter l leads, as in first letter of the word. So far, in the first sentences of this post, that's; learning, letter and leads. If I look to my right, blogger is showing Post Settings of: labels, links and location. On the table just in front of me is the Reader's Digest that I always read second hand from my mom who has subscribed since before I was born. All that aside, I see the title "Defeating Death Embracing Love". That title grabs

me and makes me want to pick it up and read it. It seems that love mixed with anything dire, such as death, usually does - grab me that is. And, of course, love and the letter l.

But it's not all good for the letter l. I found one place where I'm not liking l so much. It leads off the word line. And as this is income tax season I see the letter l and the word line a lot as I complete the family tax forms.

Enter on line 1,
Enter on line 2,
Enter on line 3
Enter on line 264...

... and on it goes until your eyesight fades or your fingers wear out.

Another downside to the letter l - it kind of looks like the number 1. So when faced with the dreaded captcha, the letter l can be a little bit devious.

All in all, the letter l is a handy little creature that shows up more times than I suspected.

So let's live, love and laugh our way through today - cheers to the letter l.

Good Luck With Number Eleven

It's coming up elevens.
I have a good friend who swears by the luck of the number eleven. Using that theory as a starting base, I have to say that today is a very lucky day for in the world of alphabet blogging, today is time for number eleven. Wait for it...
Drum roll...
It's center stage for the ravishing letter K.
And what does K have in store us besides holding one of the luckiest placements in the alaphabet?
Well, let's see:
K is for kill which is an ugly word for most people but in the world of romantic suspense, it becomes a necessary word. It's an active word that describes the evil that gets perpetrated before the hero and heroine put a stop to it all and ride off into a ravishing (each other) type of sunset.
K is for kudos. A strange kind of word that probably began as a slang but now has found it's place

right along every other word in Dear Old Merriam's pages.

K is for King. Yes, I had to go there. Stephen King, the author who made me a horror addict as a teen. I don't read a lot of King now but I am rereading The Shining because you know there's now the new book, yes I admit I forgot the name but it's waiting on my bookshelf, you know the one - the one where Danny grows up.
Okay one more and then I have to go and pay some attention to that book that just won't finish itself.
K is an abbreviation for a few things, one of them a thousand.
So now it's off to work another hour or so before it's time to enjoy a Saturday evening.
Here's a little k - for good luck.

The Fabulous Letter J

J is for so many things. Funny, this morning I couldn't think of a thing. That, I suppose, could be because I had only just tied into my first cup of coffee and the morning had begun a little too early after a night that started too late. Of course, I can blame all of that on trying to get too many things done at once. It was another case of Friday coming too soon. Not that I don't love the weekend but that's when I kick back and relax and I still have things to do.

Ah - but I'm way off track and I've had my coffee, and J is starting to heat up.

J - the fabulous letter J.

First off, J is for my current hero - Josh. Josh is busy trying to get his heroine out of Malaysia and out of the reach of the rogue biker gang set on killing her. But Josh has a problem...he's falling in love.

J is for Jon another hero's name. I suppose I like the letter j in a name. I didn't think about that until now but there's some truth to that. J has a solid sound to it. It's a hero my heroine's can rely on starting with the name and ending with...well, you'll have to read the book.

And lastly J is for joule. I had to put this in - maybe a nod to my last physics teacher, even though a physicist I was never going to make. Joule, that little measurement of energy. And while it's not quite a joule that I need and it really has no correlation to what comes next, I'm going to say it anyway. Joule or not, I need to amp up to get through my to-do-list today. Fortunately, some of it is fun - banners and story endings and a tour of a friend's new house. Maybe, all of it is fun, we'll see how it fans out. Right now it only looks like it's packed into too few hours. But that's how Fridays tend to be, don't ask me why...they just are.

How's your weekend looking? See any J's going forward?

Intent to Kill

I is for Intent to Kill - my most recent romantic suspense. It was a story inspired by a trip to Cambodia and fittingly, this suspense is shadowed not only by the history of Angkor Wat but a more deadly legacy.

Simon Trent is a burnt-out Interpol agent who disappeared after his last case turned fatal. But with the resurgence in smuggling and all signs pointing to the man who once escaped his grasp, he comes out of hiding to finish the job that's haunted him for years. What he doesn't see coming is Claire, the beautiful and headstrong reporter who may be a threat to his case - and to his heart.

A ruthless band of smugglers will stop at nothing to strip Cambodia of its priceless ancient artifacts, even if it means using and killing female tourists. Journalist Claire Linton knows she's on the story of a lifetime. But for Claire, it's personal too: long before her "Uncle Jack" came to the U.S., he was held captive in the nightmarish killing fields of Cambodia, and Claire senses there might be a connection between that long-ago bloody history and the dark crimes plaguing the country today.

As Claire and Simon reluctantly join forces to unravel a mystery that reaches deep into her family history and may be his only chance at redemption, they must fight to stay one step ahead of a brutal killer - and one step away from the dangerous feelings building between them.

Could it be all Hogwash?

In the world of h's there are so many choices of words known and unknown, of muscial groups and literary forces but instead I chose a word that may be on its way out.

It's a word I remember my dad using occasionally. Of course he was also fond of the phrase "whoa dobbin." A phrase I suspect exited a generation or two ago.

So the word I chose is, drum roll please...

hogwash

When was the last time you heard anyone use that word? I suspect we all know what it means but lets dig a little and see if the assumptions are correct or, if not, where this little gem came from.

According to the Merriam Webster dictionary it means:
foolish or meaningless talk; nonsense, balderdash (another good word rarely heard), swill, slop

So where did hogwash come from?
I turn to my bookshelves and yes, wait for it, paper books!
In the gem of a dictionary a friend located in the back of a British antique shop dated 1795 - there is no reference.
A wartime dictionary also - no reference

So now I'm intrigued, where did this seemingly outdated word come from if it isn't even making the pages of yesteryear?

I move to online references:
Wikipedia, as dicey as some of the information may be - returns nothing. I search further.

Ahha! - English Ancestory claims that hogwash became a word around the 15th century and combined the word hog along with wash or the waste from a kitchen. Meaning anything that was bad or worthless.

So, is this true?

Turns out that Online Etymology concurs with this history and expands the meaning to have once meant bad liquor which another site implied, as well as inferior writing again confirmed in a further search.

So what became a simple post, an easy one off in my blogging the alphabet, became instead a mission as hogwash became not just an outdated word but an intriguing one that seemed to have no history. Now the mystery is cleared up and the next time I write a page that I must later delete I will know not to feel too bad as it was all probably hogwash anyway. After all, every writer has to have a little leeway to spin just a bit of hogwash. And...

Okay, done with the hogwash and on with my day.

G is for Gone and Also for Gnome

April in Saskatchewan marks the end of Snow. And yes, that is snow with a capital S. Snow wouldn't have it any other way for its place is front and center here for eight or so months of the year and during those months it reigns supreme. It's not leaving quietly.

Yes, snow is almost gone. Potentially disappeared yet even when it all goes away, it isn't unheard of to have a spring day or two that turns murky with slushy, sleet. Insert sigh here.

Right now there are banks in yards big enough to build a snow fort, snow man or any other snow engineered structure you might have in mind. But snow has definitely shrunk and trickles of water are running down the street and the roads are almost clear but on the lawns and fields the banks hang on with icy tentacles, claws gripping into the ice as the sun beats down with singular determination.

And then, there it is - the sign.

I can see the top of the gnome's head, garden variety. That is a sign that the snow is about to lose its battle.

The end is near and we're all out there doing our best to enjoy the beautiful weather and the imminent turn from ice and snow and anticipate the possibility of warm days and sunshine that's right around the corner. On yesterday's dog walk I saw two little girls digging passionately into a four foot bank, creating some masterpiece that only they could visualize. Further on there were two more children stomping on drifts of snow, one with a catcher's mitt on and the little girl in plastic summer shoes that I'm sure made snow pounding, slightly treacherous. Further down the road was a man taking the shovel to his mounds of snow and scattering them over the sidewalk so they'd melt that much sooner.

As I turned the corner I saw the ultimate way to spend a sunny, still snow-filled prairie day. Two people had hauled their lawn chairs to the front yard and there they sat perched on a still towering drift with bare legs, gleaming white and sun starved.

And the garden gnome - I'm declaring him the first sign of spring. Who cares what the calendar says. On the prairies, when it comes to weather, we've tossed the rule book aside.

And speaking of rule book - that romantic suspense where love is heating up and danger is firing shots around them, well it's not going to finish by itself. So it's off to enjoy some warmer weather in the land of limestone cliffs and awesome caves, Mulu, Malaysia, where things aren't so rosy despite the scenery.

On the snow draped prairies G is for gone and hello gnome!

F is for From the Dust

From the Dust is my only historic romance and pretty much my favourite book to research. The people who actually lived through the dirty thirties are an amazing crew. But I divert from the point, the point is this book and it's story. It's a love story set on the prairies during the Great Depression.

“He died with liquor on his breath and poison in his soul. Doc MacPherson claimed that between the alcohol and the arsenic there were enough chemicals in his body to keep him pickled to the second coming.

It was a terrible way to die. Eva wouldn’t wish that on anyone, even him. She shivered. The last twelve hours had been awful. She pulled a bobby pin from her hair, rearranged a stray piece and secured it again. She hadn’t reacted well. She knew that. She regretted snapping at the child. She regretted a lot of things. None of them could be undone. Like Mr. Edwards, the time was gone, over. The damage had been done.”

And so begins the saga of Eva Edwards, a new widow and stepmother. Three steps ahead of one disaster or another, she struggles to survive on a Saskatchewan farm. It is 1935 and dust storms and poverty are rampant. But it is Tate Prescott Brown who becomes the biggest obstacle as he arrives from Ontario with wealth and status and a claim to her farm. It is a poignant battle against each other and the elements as two independent individuals face off and discover that in a battle of survival, love wins every time.

E is for Energy

At 5:30 on a weekend morning I wasn't sure if I had the energy to crawl out of bed and begin a "too early" day. But if I want to finish this story I have to find the time when I can.

Energy.

It's what it takes to push past the bit of bad news on another manuscript that lands in my inbox this morning. It's the opinion of one publisher, there are others and there are other manuscripts. But it takes energy to move on.

Energy.

That stuff we find in energy drinks but there's none around this morning. A cup of coffee is going to have to do. The sun is just coming up but first I've got to get those Basil seedlings near a window. They've been sitting on the hot air register all night warming in their little plastic food tray turned temporary green house. With the seedlings looking happy, it's off to make the coffee.

Energy.

It's what gets us through the day, and it's what makes some people achieve amazing things and overcome incredible obstacles. When I think of those people I realize I have plenty of energy to get over the obstacles in my life. So far, I've been blessed.

D Is For Dangerous

Dangerous men.

They come in so many different packages. In real life, there's the truly dangerous guys, you know the ones. The ones where popular urban myth has us thinking lurk at every street corner to steal our valuables, ravage our persons and the persons of those we love and cause mayhem in our lives.

As a child of the frozen north I repeatedly heard the story of the shack man. He was the man who took care of the shacks at the ice rinks where kids would go to warm up after an afternoon's skate. He'd open the shack and man the wood fueled stove. He also kidnapped children and did horrible things to them. At least that was the story that every child told over and over again as we shivered under our blankets at sleep overs and beamed flashlights into the shadows to dispel the image of shack man.

As adults, logically we all know that danger is not lurking in every stranger's eyes. Nope, he's out there but he's not the shack man who was more than likely a gentle grandfather who would have given his left arm to help any of us. And life is not a mine field of people out to get us - unless, of course you step into the world of romantic suspense.

So here goes, the other type of dangerous. This is my favourite type. He's dark and dangerous, lurking in the shadows to save the day and steal your heart. This guy is unfortunately, fictional. Not that this guy may not exist - girls don't give up your search just yet. But in fiction he's the guy who often makes an appearance in romantic suspense. He liquidates danger, captures the heroine's heart and carries her away to future bliss.

Okay, so even romantic suspense isn't that easy. The hero? Well, he mostly has his issues. Not that he isn't to die for attractive. C'mon, this is fiction guys. He's my hero and I say he must make me want to smack him for being more good looking than me or any other woman I hang around with. Of course not every hero is a pretty boy. Some are just beautifully proportioned and ooze more self-confidence than any human should be allowed and that alone makes them dangerous.

And then, there's the villain. Forget the yellow rain-coated chap at the end of the block waiting to leer or worse. No, this villain can be quite charming, quite good-looking and have his own basket load of problems which of course is what makes him the villain. But it is his charm that is his most dangerous feature. Not all the time but you know - some of the time.

Danger, in the land of romantic suspense has many different faces.
