Close to Zero
Hello again Readers
Well it's still icy and the frost definitely has a bite to it. I've just been out to close my chickens up for the night and they've got plenty of straw so I hope they will be warm enough? Who knows because chickens can't talk so we have to use our common sense. Barney my dog is snoozing on the rug and my cats are also asleep and it is 7.20 pm - so all calm and time for a quick blog.
Today I've seen a glimpse of the cover for my new novel and the excitement is growing. It is going to be more than splendid and I can't wait now. I'm just finishing the final of final edits but you never know, there may be another one. I've been reading about advertising your books online, there are so many options now for ebooks, that it makes you dizzy just reading them. How do we know which one is right for us? My other books were made on Create Space and I really love Create Space as a tool for self publishing your books. It may seem a little complex at first but when you get going, it becomes easy. Kindle conversions are always a bit of a problem unless you are an I.T expert which I am not. I may enlist some help this time round because being a one man band, writer, publisher and promoter is a massive job.
I hope you are all keeping warm. Maybe it's not so cold other parts of Europe? Please let me know how you are getting on in this weather. Not so much to say today apart from I nearly went to a net work marketing meeting that would have been useful but I'm not sure that I am in the mindset to take it all on board. The problem with marketing is I have always found it to be slightly boring and I'm a lady that likes to just go crunching on in there, a bit like Jack Frost! We will see - have a lovely evening.
Love Jennifer
I have a question is it this time around?
Or this time round?
I've always found that a little confusing!

What to do on a cold day?
Hello Readers
I will try and keep my blog posts short and sweet because then you will enjoy reading them and I will enjoying writing them!
It's always difficult to get motivated when the frost is on the ground and you're looking for that thick jumper that you hid somewhere in a drawer last year, but with boots on and dressed up to go, when the sun peeks out, the day can feel like a miracle. What a very long sentence!
How often do we feel thankful that we are just alive? I think some winter days are like this, the summer feels like a distant dream and yet, if we make the effort, we find that there are just as many good things to find on a winter's day if we embrace it.
Today, I have walked my dog for about half an hour and given a friend a full body massage. I sometimes give therapy to people as I'm trained as a therapist and it is a good thing to swop. As a result of this, my friend gave me a very hot vegetable chilli - this was a complete unexpected bonus and it tasted delicious!
I'm still editing, but I'm getting there. I'm trying not to rush too much as that way, mistakes can slip through and no-one wants to read a book with too many mistakes. What was great today was I noticed that I have a new reviews on Liberty Angel and William's Wishes. If you are interested in the subject of adoption, particularly sixties adoptions, William's Wishes is for you. Being adopted myself, I have first hand experience of the emotions involved. My characters are fictional but in a way, I want to say, if you haven't lived it a little, then don't write about it because to me authentic writing is the writing that really rocks. Of course, we can't have been and done everything, can we? But I still feel it helps to know a bit about what you write.
Now, this is turning into a long blog post!
I'd like to add a little part of William's Wishes where Rececca confronts her emotions about the adoption of Bridgette....
"Rebecca agreed to go to the theatre with Lawrence. She was completely enthralled by the experience and afterwards she couldn’t wait to see him again. As the weeks turned into months, their occasional date changed into something more serious. But never once did she tell Lawrence the story of Bridgette, the baby she had lost. The baby, she now considered dead. She was afraid that if she opened up to him about this, it would drive a wedge between them. Although she loved Lawrence, her past was not in any way relevant to her future, a future that she hoped to spend with Lawrence. She had taken enough risks and been through enough pain. She desperately wanted to hold on to what she had left. As the years went by, it was only really on birthdays that Rebecca thought of Bridgette. This year was particularly hard because she knew that Bridgette was eighteen. She would be an adult. It was totally unbelievable. Bridgette would be able to make her own decisions, have a key to the house. Even leave home if she wanted to. It didn’t seem possible. Most alarming of all, was the fact Bridgette could now trace her. What would that do to her life? Surely it would be too hard? The whole thing was too confusing for her to think about. Her vision of Bridgette was of the small baby she’d held tightly, in those last few hours. Rebecca felt it would be better to keep it that way."
Thank you for reading ... and happy Thursday.
Love Jennifer

Last leg
Hello Readers
I'm now on the last leg of my new novel which I hope to launch soon on Kindle Scout - deadline for me February 8th but hoping to coincide my readers with Valentine's Day ... you will see why, when you read the book.
Do single parents make good writers? Well, it worked for JK Rowling - sometimes the tougher our experience the more we bloom. My book Liberty Angel focuses on her experience of a single parent with two girls, balancing that part of her life, with romance and the difficulties in finding work with an awful lot of spirituality and self belief.
My new novel is also about a single parent with older children taking their final school exams. I like to combine, romance and spirituality with real life situations ... I'd like to say to my readers look for the clues as they aim to empower my readers. Some of this is due to my own past experiences of being a single parents for a period of time I was also on benefits. Some days I watched the electric metre as it used its last £5. Other days I went for long walks in the wood which backed on to my house where I could connect with nature. There are many ways of feeling empowerment on our life's journey. One way is to write because writing is a very healing therapy.
I'm feeling good about my last leg of my novel, so I thought I'd share it with you. Please share with me if you feel inspired.

Shades of Kefalonia
Hi Everyone and Happy New Year ... my resolution is to read more books and to write more reviews for others but I'm busy writing a new novel at the moment so it's all go.
I frequently put my books up for free on amazon kindle so I will let you know when I do this, this year!
Currently Shades of Kefalonia is on for free which is a great little book of colour meditations.

I've also recently had Liberty Angel up for free - thanks to all who downloaded it.
I hope you are all keeping happy and warm and wrapped up in books - January can often feel like a long month whereas February - we really start to get moving again.
Here is a tiny exert from Shades of Kefalonia to feed the creative juices ...
See the greens of peace and tranquility starting to energise you. Green and pink bring new balance into your being.
It is time to let go of expectations, demands, questions and necessity. We now embrace, peace, love, understanding and allow us, to just be.
Open your eyes and wiggle your fingers and toes. Stomp your feet on the ground the pull through the new earth energies. You are full of light, balanced calm and happy…
Heart – compassion, nurture, self love, expression.
Much love and more blogs to come

William's Wishes
William's Wishes has just had a free promotion on amazon kindle which went fairly well and at least it gives people the chance to read and experience the book. I'm still looking for feedback if anyone has time to review it.
William's Wishes is a romance, a story about girls growing into women and also a story about adoption. I feel very passionately about William's Wishes because I was adopted in the sixties and although it is not my story being fiction, some parts of the book are very real to me and the birthday party in the book when Bridgette was 7 was definitely my 7th birthday party in many ways. I feel being adopted myself has given me a much greater insight into the emotions surrounding adoption and it was written to help others who are experiencing emotional difficulties to perhaps have a much more rounded approach. Adoptions can be very varied, not one being the same as another. One thing to remember is that we never really know how deep feelings run until we ask. I hope you enjoy reading William's Wishes as much as I did writing it.
Much love,
Jennifer
